Who Got Next

Here we go, here we go, here we go now! Yes, I told you "Who Got Next" would be back today, and I am a woman of my word. So last year sometime I attended a showcase at the illustrious GA State University (G-State stand up!) and saw quite a few rappers do their thing on the stage. They were all pretty talented in their own right, but one cat was really on top of his. His music was right, lyrics were there, and he looked pretty darn comfortable on that stage (which is like the most important thing of all, if Wayne or Jay had no stage swag, we wouldn't like them as much). Earlier this month I went to this freestyle battle and saw this same guy take the crown. So I feel it's only right that I bring him to your attention. With no further delay I would like to introduce you all to CA$H'ET.


CA$H'ET is a rapper and a producer born and raised in Savannah, GA. [Shouts out to Armstrong Atlantic State University...I see you!!] Back to the mission at hand, as if being a rapper AND a producer wasn't enough for you, let's add the fact that he's a college sophomore. [All the extra old rappers and or producers trying to get on just got discouraged :( ] So I got a chance to sit down with CA$H'ET and gather some info.


CA$H'ET describes himsefl as a lyrical southern artist with an edgey flow. He's been making music since he was around 3 or 4 years old. If that's not impressive then I don't know what is. So of course I had to ask the question


"How and why did you get started in music?"


CA$H'ET: I come from a musical family


Doing music nearly his entire life and coming from a musical lineage, it almost seems unfair to all the other aspiring musical artists. I mean who would knowingly want to compete with that? So my next question was:


"Why do you continue to do it?"


CA$H'ET: Because I love music


There was no hesitation at all when he answered this question. I think that's how you know that someone's heart is really in something. You ask them and INSTANTLY they can tell you that they love it.


"What do you want to accomplish with your music?"


CA$H'ET: I want to reach alot of people with my songs and beats and leave a lasting impression on them.


This is where your average run of the mill rapper would have said "Yeah, you know shawty, I'm tryna blow up. I'm after that paper nawmeen? I want the world to see me and know my name." You all know what I'm saying is true. But the way CA$H'ET asnwered the question lets you know that he is about his music, not the "perks" that come with celebrity. This is what you call a true artist.


So in addition to the appearances that I have already mentioned, CA$H'ET has also performed at the Sweet Auburn Spring Fest in Atlanta, GA. He is currently working on a song entitled "Road Dogs" which details the close relationship he has with his cousins. Another song in the works is called "Lyrical Homicide" and this is OBVIOUSLY self explanatory. I'm personally anticipating the release of that joint. A third song called "Mystery" describes people not knowing him as an artist. All of these songs will be on his currently untitled promo cd which is scheduled to drop this winter. [ When it drops I'll give you the details on how to get it yoursefl] Next question:


"What's your favorite song that you've done and your favorite song out now in the mainstream?"


CA$H'ET: A song I did when I was 13 called "Smooth Like A Criminal"


"And a song out now?"


CA$H'ET: That's hard...a lot of them are too repetitive


"Well, it doesn't have to be out now, any mainstream song"


CA$H'ET: Anything Bone Thugs N Harmony, songs produced by Fatboi and Shawty Redd.


"Is there anything extra that you would like people to know about yourself and or your music?"


CA$H'ET: It always comes from the heart, I never do something I don't believe myself and it's always high quality.





I don't know about you guys out there, but I'm sold. He's a real artist with a real love for what he does. It doesn't get much better than that if you ask me. I realize that this post is pic free, so yes ladies, he is easy to look at too. Plus he gets extra points for being hella cool, since I basically ambushed him with this interview :) Now, it is time for you all to decide for yourselves whether or not CA$H'ET has next.
