During my interview with Freddie Gibbs, the conversation turned to Ray Cash. Like a lot of hip hop fans, Freddie Gibbs wonders what happened to the Cleveland-based MC. I literally have not been made aware of a single new Ray Cash song since 2006. Cash released a great debut album (Listen to Cash On Delivery) via Sony in 06, but then, silence. Gibbs, who collaborated with Cash back during his days on Interscope, would love to re-unite with the Cleveland based MC to make some classic Midwest music. Ray Cash, like Freddie Gibbs, I hope you see this interview!

If you know where he is, give him a shout for me. [Laughs] I worked with him when I was at Interscope. We did that “Keep It Pimpin” remix…I love Ray Cash as an artist. I honestly don’t know what he’s doing. I wish I did. If he so happens to read this interview, man, I hope he reaches out to me. He’s definitely dope…Anything Ray Cash doing, I’m supporting.

Before last night’s Grammy’s, Drake hints at an Eminem collaboration on his upcoming debut, Thank Me Later, due later this year. Drake really is so far gone; you cannot group him with the newcomers at all anymore. Did you see his Grammy performance with Lil Wayne and Eminem? Thanks to YouHeardThatNew for the video.

It’s always good when the words of your music are something that you live by. And you have to everyday on the radio and you’re not ashamed of it. ©Drake
