P.A. (short for Parental Advisory) was an American Southern hip hop trio, part of the Atlanta-based musical collective Dungeon Family and composed of rappers James "Mello" Hollins, Maurice "Big Reese" Sinclair, and DJ Kawan "K.P." Prather.

They were discovered by American singer Pebbles, and became the first act from Dungeon Family to sign a major label recording contract, with her label Savvy Records. The label only released their debut studio album, Ghetto Street Funk (1993) and they signed with DreamWorks Records to release their second album, Straight No Chase (1998). The latter spawned the single "Like We Do", which entered the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[1] Another single from the album, "Reservations" was included on the soundtrack for the 1998 film Blade. The trio's third album, My Life, Your Entertainment (2000), was also released by DreamWorks and served as their final release.[2]
