Atlanta producer CashCache has quietly become the most influential and notable of the inumerable beatmakers in the plugg/post-SoundCloud space, creating a jazzy luster around one of the most recognizable sounds in 2010’s rap production. His collaborations with Tony Shhnow, BoofPaxkMooky, and 10kDunkin recently have started to let him receive some of the flowers from his trailblazing contributions but the craziest aspect of CashCache’s rise are his new collaborations with French rapper Serane who floats over Cash’s sanguine instrumentals in a sing-songy but vocally reserved flow, matching the lethargic energy of Cash’s percussion. The language barrier is an unfortunate block to fully appreciating Serane’s music but you can always catch familiar phrases in his songs like “trap jumping,” “smoking pressure,” or any other tropes of the like. Stanko recently brought his track “Pressure” to life for Serane which was the perfect introduction to the French artist if you are not yet familiar. I am really looking forward to hearing more of Serane’s music going forwards and hopefully he will be only the beginning of elevating the French rap scene and spreading the plugg style.
