Ca$h Out Wants To Replicate The Success Of “Cashin’ Out” With New Single

With barely two years in the mainstream hip-hop game under his belt, it's tough to label Ca$h Out a one-hit wonder. But after his infectious single “Cashin' Out” buzzed at an alarming rate and had everyone enamored with a girl named Keisha, many people were skeptical about whether the ATLien could ever top or match his first platinum single. With Epic Records and its legendary chairman and CEO LA Reid galvanized by a platinum single and the promise of more hits on the horizon, the label dropped the followup singles "Big Booty" and "Hold Up," featuring Wale. The singles performed moderately well, but nothing could touch the success of his initial boost.

Now two years later, Ca$h Out has left Epic Records in hopes of fortifying his success as an independent artist by inking a deal with eOne Music, home to the likes of DJ Drama, Joe Budden and Styles P. His newest single “She Twerkin’” is gaining momentum and is solidifying itself as a go-to record in a hip-hop climate full of rump shakers. With hopes of acquiring independent success a la Mac Miller, Ca$h Out is proving he can indeed become a formidable—and, most importantly, consistent—threat in the arena of making club bangers.

With his debut album, Let’s Get It, on the way, Ca$h Out sat down with XXL to discuss "Cashin' Out" being both a gift and a curse, his admiration for Jay Z’s business mindset and his ultimate choice for Woman Crush Wednesdays. Hint: the answer to the last one isn't Keisha. —Carl Lamarre
