| Cash Cobain, the “sample drill” originator, has just shared his solo debut solo album Pretty Girls Love Slizzy. Fresh off of being named one of the “50 Innovators Shaping Rap’s Next 50 Years”, and having his track “Vacant” named one of the “100 Best East Coast Hip-Hop Songs of All Time” by Rolling Stone, Cash Cobain is taking his influential “sexy drill” sound to new heights. Backed by a lively string of singles that includes “Slizzy Gods”, “Slizzy Talk”, and the Jai Paul-sampling “Rump” (feat. Chow Lee), as well as Cash’s recent signing to Irving Azoff’s Giant Music, Pretty Girls Love Slizzy finds Cash Cobain taking his R-rated flirtations and animated charisma to even more daring levels, while continuing to unapologetically lean into his buoyant persona. Over the typically ethereal yet minimalistic and bouncy production across his debut solo album, Cash Cobain’s ear for innovative sampling and playful lyricism are on full display, consistently delivering eccentric vocal performances over the breezy production. Boasting features from only his frequent collaborators Chow Lee and FLEE, as well as a production credit from in-demand Jersey Club producer MCVERTT, Pretty Girls Love Slizzy – out now via Giant Music, finds Cash Cobain flexing his singular style with minimal outside help – cementing himself as both a groundbreaking emcee and producer in the process.
As the universal pioneer of “sample drill”, a sub-genre whose influence continues to bleed into the mainstream scene, Cash Cobain has also played a fundamental role in popularizing the frenetic drum patterns of Jersey Club music by innovatively incorporating them into his music. Cash Cobain is fresh off of a busy year in 2022 – receiving co-signs from Frank Ocean & Lil Uzi Vert before releasing his critically- acclaimed breakout mixtape, 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY in collaboration with Chow Lee, which received “Best of the Year” nods from The New York Times, Pitchfork, The FADER & UPROXX. Now a solidified household name in the ever-evolving Hip-Hop landscape that he played a key role in popularizing, with collaborations with everyone from Lil Yachty and LUCKI to Bktherula, and a teased future collaboration with PinkPantheress under his belt, Cash Cobain is continuing to expand upon his innovative sound with the release of his debut solo album, Pretty Girls Love Slizzy, as he fully flexes the extensive, innovative artistry behind the producer, rapper and masterful sampler Cash Cobain.
