Cash Cobain is making waves in the rap scene with his unique “Slizzy” sound, but he’s also drawing inspiration from some rap legends for his upcoming music. In a recent Instagram post, Cash shared snippets of new songs that sample both André 3000 and Drake, adding his own twist to the tracks.
One of the snippets features Cash rapping over André 3000’s “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album but This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time,” from his flute album New Blue Sun. Cash adds skittering percussion and thumping bass to the ambient instrumental, delivering sexually-charged raps and rapid-fire flows. It’s a bold move to sample such an iconic song, but Cash manages to make it his own.
In another snippet, Cash takes on Drake’s 2013 hit “Started From the Bottom,” giving it a fresh new sound. He starts his verse with a nod to the track’s title, referencing fellow New York rapper Chow Lee who is also featured on the song. It’s clear that Cash is paying homage to the original while putting his own spin on it.
It’s worth noting that Cash Cobain isn’t the first rapper to take on André 3000’s New Blue Sun. Last year, Lupe Fiasco also released a track where he rapped over the flute beats from André 3000’s solo project. It seems that André 3000’s unique sound is inspiring a new generation of artists to push boundaries and experiment with different styles.
Overall, Cash Cobain’s new song snippets show his versatility as an artist and his willingness to take risks. By sampling two rap legends and adding his own flair, Cash is making a name for himself in the industry. It will be exciting to see how these songs develop and how Cash continues to push the boundaries of his music.
