Cash Cobain, the originator of “sample drill,” has just unveiled his debut solo album titled Pretty Girls Love Slizzy. Fresh from earning recognition as 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 now taking his influential “sexy drill” style to new heights.
Supported by a string of lively singles, including “Slizzy Gods,” “Slizzy Talk,” and the Jai Paul-sampled “Rump” featuring Chow Lee, and with his recent signing to Irving Azoff’s Giant Music, “Pretty Girls Love Slizzy” showcases Cash Cobain pushing the boundaries of his R-rated charm and animated charisma even further. Throughout his debut solo album, Cash Cobain consistently displays his knack for innovative sampling and playful lyricism, all set against typically ethereal yet minimalistic and lively production.

Cash Cobain is making waves
Featuring collaborations only with his frequent partners Chow Lee and FLEE, along with production by the sought-after Jersey Club producer MCVERTT, “Pretty Girls Love Slizzy” is out now via Giant Music. This album solidifies Cash Cobain’s unique style with minimal outside influence, establishing him as both a pioneering emcee and producer.
Moreover, Cash Cobain, widely recognized as the pioneer of “sample drill,” a sub-genre that has left a lasting impact on the mainstream music scene, has also played a pivotal role in bringing the frenetic drum patterns of Jersey Club music into his own innovative sound. Following a busy 2022, during which he gained the endorsement of Frank Ocean and Lil Uzi Vert, and released the critically acclaimed mixtape “2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY” in collaboration with Chow Lee, earning “Best of the Year” accolades from The New York Times, Pitchfork, The FADER, and UPROXX, Cash Cobain has firmly established himself as a household name in the ever-evolving world of Hip-Hop.
However, having collaborated with artists ranging from Lil Yachty and LUCKI to Bktherula, and hinting at a forthcoming collaboration with PinkPantheress, Cash Cobain continues to push the boundaries of his innovative sound with the release of his debut solo album, “Pretty Girls Love Slizzy.” Through this album, he showcases his extensive and inventive artistry as a producer, rapper, and masterful sampler.
