Deep Dive: Cashheart, Producer for Yeat

Though everyone’s lives are all uniquely different, one aspect of life remains universally the same: it is never predictable. This would be true for the 19-year-old producer who went from experimenting with EDM beats to co-producing for one of the most well-renowned artists from the underground scene.

Cashheart (also known as Cash) has been sticking to the grind since he was only 13 years old:

“When I was a kid, my dad showed me a program called FL Studio…I was trying to learn how to make EDM music on there”.

The blossoming producer wouldn’t go for a more rap-like sound until his freshman year of high school. Humbly, he reiterated that improvement was always a process: “(I) didn’t get better until, like, I was maybe (in my) senior year or junior year”. From there, the creative kept sticking to what he knew best.

Cashheart’s musical career would take a turn when he became acquainted with Really Rich (##RR), a notable rap collective group from the underground scene. It all took off when Cashheart collaborated with long-time-friend and producer 2sided.

Once the two uploaded their beat to youtube, rapper Kankan took notice:

“(He) ended up, you know, swiping the beat off YouTube and he used it for the song you see on Fraction”.

Cashheart specifies that his collaboration with 2sided on Fraction can be found in the second half of the video (otherwise titled Might Be).

After that interaction, Cashheart and Kankan started collaborating more, and even began collaborated with other ##RR members. The producer has officially collaborated with Kankan, Summrs, Iayze (also known as Jace), Summrs’s younger brother, and TSM Breezy.

Out of all the songs Cashheart has produced/co-produced, Yeat’s Off Tha Lot would become one of the greatest defining moments in his career.

So, how exactly did Cashheart land a spot on this famous track? He breaks it down en brief:

“When Yeat wasn’t really big enough, like he had around 10-15k (followers), I made the melody and sent it to Trgic, I’m Synthetic…and Internet Money”.

He also makes note of how producer Trgic helped play a hand in landing the beat placement for the song.

Cash’s contribution to Yeat’s Off Tha Lot – and, worth mentioning, Kankan’s Mad at Me – would bring more shine to Cashheart’s production skills.

It was only a matter of time before Cashheart’s producing started gaining the attention of underground artists alike.

The producer explains how, these days, it only takes him mere minutes to turn a blank file into a hot and ready-to-use beat:

“I can make beats in, like, five minutes (to) ten minutes and somehow they’re placed” the creative noted. It goes without saying that the producer is at a point now where beat production comes to him as if it's instinctual.

Currently, Cash would say he vibes the most with Zellyocho, Tyfontaine, Kankan, and Summrs as it relates to production and affinity when collaborating.

However, he has a certain artist in mind he hopes to collaborate with one day.

The producer plans to stick to his Future Hendrixx-style beats until he

can one day land a collaboration with artist Tm88.

He expressed that he has been sending beats to Tm88 and that his friend, Slomeezy, has been signed with the dream artist.

Cash’s goal is to try to stay in the artist’s reins to hopefully foster a collaboration in the near future.

Though the artist already has a Sony/ATV administration deal, Cashheart could see himself being eventually signed to Warner Records or Sony records:

“I’ve heard good things about Warner and their team, as well as Sony,” the producer notes.

“I’ve seen a lot of producers (get) put on…they do a lot of work, especially their managers and lawyers”.

Until then, Cashheart, as well as other ##RR producers, continue working alongside the collective’s artists to curate more music.

Kankan’s EP, Way 2 Geeked, is said to be released toward the end of this month. The young producer is excited for its release.

Though Cashheart’s musical journey is riddled with plot-twists and detours, he keeps one thing simple, and that is his craft:

“There’s nothing really special about it. I’m just very efficient at what I do – very consistent”.
