hella cheese

Colloquially translates into "a lot of money"

Hella - term that originated in Northern California/Bay Area which is a term used as an adjective in English grammar as "a lot"

Cheese - "money", pretty obvious. This word has deep roots in holding on to this definition.

The term "hella cheese" was most commonly referenced in the hip-hop rap song "Toyota Music" featured in Big Sean's Album "Hall of Fame"

The first intro to said song starts:
"Hella cheese, hella trees, LSD. Smoking weed..."

hella

The farmers from Northern California who settled here a long time ago (probably before the 1950's) were patient and slow people and took everything with ease. When they communicated to explain "VERY" they would say "hell of a" instead of "very" or "a lot". Then the city folks who migrated in later to the Bay Area took the Northern California farmers saying and shortened it to "Hella" instead of "Hell of a."
So in the end the word "hella" comes from the Bay Area city folks. Short and sweet.
