maynaiczGerman based Ghanaian rapper and songwriter, Louis Roland Moreaux alias Da Mayniacz is set to introduce his brand of new generation hiphop to Ghana and indeed the rest of the world. Together with some of his colleagues, Da Mayniacz scored a hit with the teens of Germany with the single, ‘Broke My Heart’, which is now available on his debut solo album, ‘Before I Rise’

The heavy pop influenced ‘Broke My Heart’ has elements that make the production come off as a cross between Sean Kingston and Lil Wayne, therefore not surprising that it resonates well with the youths across Europe. A professional music video was shot at the end of November 2009 for ‘Broke My Heart’ and it became an instant hit on the video sharing site, YouTube. The video was transmitted brand new on the MTV channel in March and is also running on Yavido TV. The rapper, who is currently visiting Ghana to promote his songs, hints that the video would also be available on Ghanaian television soon.

The album contains 13 amazing tracks produced to appeal to a modern, open and liberal audience. It appeared in March 2010 on CD and for digital download. The 19 year rapper describes the album as strongly influenced by pop and the ‘dirty south’. With such a strong international character, his music has been able to attract fans world wide, proving that new generation hip hop has a place in Germany, his place of birth. Now his challenge is to be a Ghanaian artist who appeals to the Ghanaian market and the rest of the world as an international act. The cosmopolitan young artist, whose family comes from France, US and Ghana, is a modern citizen of the world who thinks global and act local, so should be able to surmount that challenge with time. Although Mayniacz was born in Germany, he visits Ghana very regularly and even schooled at Labone SDA for a bit. He speaks Twi quite fluently as well.

His first musical experiments date from mid-2006 when he and his group members attracted the interest of well known producers, such as Static and Rieke Boomgardens. But it was only through collaboration with producer Gitdatbeats (Markus Utke) that he experienced the musical freedom which gave him enough creative space to put his ideas into practice. The song, ‘Diz Gurl’, soon attracted the interest of the Myspace community and there was a huge demand for an album from his fans. This gave him the impetus to concentrate on his music.

The young rapper also has many performances to his credit. He has been a supporting act for the likes of DMX, Elephant Man, Redman, Method Man, Mobb Deep, Hot Rod and Wyclef.

According to him, he loves live performances and has a tour across Germany and other countries on the cards. He also adds that he is hoping to do some great collaboration with Ghanaian artists while in Ghana.

Ice Spice remix stamps Cash Cobain’s “Fisherrr” as the Song of the Summer

Published

on

Ice Spice

Billboard Rookie of the Month, and multi-hyphenate NYC star, Cash Cobain has just linked up with Ice Spice for the long-awaited video remix for “Fisherrr”(feat. BaySwag) [18m+ Streams]. After bubbling the past few years with R-rated anthems over his own ethereal production – creating the playful “sexy drill” sound that he’s pioneered and taken to mainstream heights, Cash Cobain is stamping himself as a serious song of the summer contender with this remix.

Following up his two smash singles “Dunk Contest” (8m+) and “Fisherrr” (pronounced, ‘for sure), Cash is primed for his moment in the spotlight ––  hitting 1M Monthly Listeners on Spotify, Top 3 NYC Shazam Charts, having occupied the #1 + #3 slots of the NYC Apple Music Charts, hitting #45 on the Urban Radio Charts and counting, and now landing Ice Spice’s third feature ever  –– in the words of COMPLEX, “the summer of 2024 is looking very slizzy”. On the highly-anticipated remix, Ice Spice is simply in top-tier shape.

Adding her signature magnetic ‘it-girl’ flair, charming cadence, and instantly-coinable one-liners, she bolsters the lightning-hot single into astronomical territory with the opening lines –– “Got an attitude but I’m feelingless, so I ain’t mad at you, And I’m tatted too on this fatty-tude, I’m the baddest boo”.

The long-overdue collab from the two Bronx natives is seamless, with her being a tailor-fit alongside the ethereal, dreamy production and silky smooth verses from Bay Swag and Cash. With the recent releases of “Dunk Contest” (watch Genius ‘Open Mic’)  and now the Ice Spice-assisted remix for “Fisherrr” (feat. BaySwag), Cash Cobain is using his collaborative momentum from last year to continue elevating his signature sound, showcasing its influential and ever-growing widespread appeal in the process. In the words of Cash:“It’s a beautiful record. It feels amazing, it feels like NYC is back stronger than ever with me and Spice -– two Bronx legends. Get ready for the song of the summer.” 

Last month, Cash took over NYC with his birthday show, ‘Slizzyfest’ at Irving Plaza –– a night that was slated as a stacked lineup of NY’s finest, with rumors of an A-list superstar surprise set. After chatter spread online and the hype reached a fever pitch, the crowd became too much to handle and the show was ultimately canceled –– but Cash wanted to give the fans their money’s worth so he ventured into Union Square and threw a makeshift show with his crew, a Bluetooth speaker, and hundreds of adoring fans (read ‘I Went to Cash Cobain’s Slizzyfest and All I Got Was That Classic NYC Feeling’ via Rolling Stone + statement in Billboard).

Also in Billboard, Cash recently teased potential collaborations with Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, Don Toliver (seen filming a music video here), Lil Yachty and more –– a surefire sign of the worldwide stardom soon to come. These recent releases arrive on the heels of a career-defining year in 2023 that closed with the production of PinkPantheress“Nice To Meet You” (feat. Central Cee), which debuted at #20 on Billboard Hot 100 (he also starred alongside her in a nationally-syndicated Apple commercial for the new MacBook).

This was preceded by producing Drake’s “Calling For You” (feat. 21 Savage), which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, DJ’ing at Travis Scott‘s Cactus Jack x Audemars Piguet event, and releasing his critically-acclaimed debut solo album Pretty Girls Love Slizzy with Giant Music.
