The debut EP from Mobile based rapper Ca$h Fortune is a symphony of the times. Having been rapping for close to eight years now, he’s acquired a style and flow that is well in line with the style and suave of the modern sensibilities of hip-hop. The trap album utilises heavy autotune, debauchery, and punchy flows that we’ve come to expect and revel in as the norm. Ca$h’s influences, ranging from Trippie Redd to Travis Scott, can definitely be heard across the record. Filled with spacey, nigh psychedelic beats, Ca$h effortlessly floats on each beat, sometimes aggressively, sometimes mellowly.
Starting with ‘Lost Girl’, Ca$h Out grabs your attention with a lock grip. The beat on this track somehow swerves from a lo-fi background to a more in your face banger through Ca$h’s flow. On ‘No Reboot’, the ambient background noise opens in to Ca$h’s best verse on the entire project. There’s a bit of Lil Baby influence in the third verse as well. No Reboot goes harder than any other piece on the album, combining the best of emo/trap rap with a delivery and lyrical performance reminiscent of the classics.
Ca$h doesn’t relent on this project, it’s lined from one to seven with banger after banger, each of which would sit very well with whoever’s on the aux. The guest verse on Remote is one of the highlights for me, coming with a flow that’s quick, suave, and clever.
Cash Out is just a collection of verified bangers put together in a single collection. With album art that’s equally fantastic, Ca$h Fortune has compiled a myriad of modern hip-hop styles together in a project that, while disparate, is just filled with tune after tune that’s increasingly addictive. From the more mellow and melodic pieces like Limit Breaker to the more pounding pieces like $afe, it has a bit of a everything.
