With his triumphant Billboard Hot 100 debut and current opening slot on Ice Spice’s Y2K! World Tour, the 2024 XXL Freshman and April Billboard Rookie of the Month, Cash Cobain, has announced that his sophomore LP Play Cash Cobain will arrive later this month on August 23rd and shared the album’s lead single, “Problem”. Bolstered by a prominent sample of Brooklyn newcomer Laila!’s viral hit “Not My Problem”, the long-anticipated posse cut boasts a stacked lineup of features from the likes of Fabolous, Big Sean, Kenzo B, Lay Bankz, Luh Tyler, Anycia, Chow Lee, Kaliii, 6lack, Flo Milli, YN Jay, FLEE, Don Q and Rob49. The song first gained traction after Cash teased his remix for Laila!’s viral “Not My Problem” SoundCloud beat challenge. After he started sending the instrumental out to close collaborators like Chow Lee and FLEE, the trend struck fire, and the verses started pouring in daily on social media.
Cobain’s debut national television performance at the BET Awards reached a staggering audience of 3 million viewers, while recent powerhouse single “Rump Punch” (15M Streams) continues to explode, solidifying that his long-awaited forthcoming LP is here to extend the Slizzy Summer indefinitely. This week, Cash had an electric pair of performances on Ice Spice’s sold-out NYC dates.
After the show, fans were thrown into a frenzy when a picture of Future and Cash hit social media on his well-recognized fan-page Slizzyfeed. Cash’s sophomore release, Play Cash Cobain, is the exclamation point on a 2024 winning streak that includes the Ice Spice-assisted “Fisherrr” (feat. BaySwag) (40M Streams), which was hailed by Funkmaster Flex during Cobain’s Hot 97 Summer Jam performance as the festival’s biggest song, as well as a collab with rap legend J. Cole on “Grippy” (15M Streams), a new version of his 2023 track “Dunk Contest” (13M Streams).The rapper and producer also recently featured alongside Charlie Wilson on Don Toliver’s new single “Attitude” (86M Streams), appeared on A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s “Body”, and produced Lancey Foux’s “Daylight” (feat. Teezo Touchdown), showcasing why COMPLEX proclaimed that summer 2024 is “looking very slizzy”.
With the success of Cobain’s smash singles “Rump Punch” and “Fisherrr”, the latter being an undeniable song of the summer, the Bronx superstar has skyrocketed to over 4M Monthly Listeners on Spotify, entered the Top 3 NYC Shazam Charts, and occupied the #1 and #3 slots of the NYC Apple Music Charts as well as #7 on the Urban Radio Charts. Cash is a visionary, and his recent ‘Slizzy Fest’ birthday show at Irving Plaza flaunted a stacked lineup of New York’s elite — along with rumors of a surprise set from a certain A-list superstar. With Slizzymania in full effect, the growing crowd caused security concerns and the show was ultimately canceled –– but Cobain, a man of the people, wanted to ensure his fans got their money’s worth. Armed with his passion and a Bluetooth speaker, Cash led the ecstatic crowd down to Union Square and threw a makeshift show, an indisputable nod to honoring the traditions of NYC Hip-Hop.
With his extraterrestrial R-rated anthems, ethereal production, playful sexy drill sound, and the inescapable Slizzy Movement in full effect — there may not be a spotlight bright enough to shine on Cash Cobain’s future.
