Cashis

American rapper, born and raised in Chicago, but relocated to Irvine, California in Orange County with his high school friend and producer Rikanatti to get away from the dangerous street life and to pursue his rap career. He is a member of the Gangster Disciples. Cashis' group "The Renegades" sent a demo tape to Eminem's Shady Records label hoping for a record deal. Dart Parker, the label's A&R, was particularly impressed with Ca$his' performance on the demo and ended up signing the young rapper as a solo artist in 2004. Cashis was first showcased in mainstream rap when he was featured on Eminem's mixtape turned album, Eminem Presents the Re-Up. Although he featured on many of the tracks, his first solo release was the charting County Hound EP, on May 22, 2007. The County Hound reached #1 on Billboard's "Top Heatseekers" chart, #37 on the "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" chart and #106 on "The Billboard 200". CaShis's debut album, Loose Cannon drops at the end of 2008. Cashis and Rikanatti have formed a writing/production team Blocc Boyz [Rikanatti, Cashis, Keno and Basix], who are managed by Goliath Artist Management are producing several songs on Cashis's new album.
