The Cleveland born and raised Ray Cash released Cash On Delivery in 2006 and executively by Kawan Prather (famous for working with a younger T.I. on albums) it's a nice debut!

Now many have heard Cash on the "Bumpin My Music", "She A G" and "Sex Appeal (Pimp In My Own Mind)" but there is more to this former drug dealer who cites Jay-Z, Scarface and UGK as influences.

He gets deep like in "F*** Amerikkka", a track talking about the hypocritical system many do/don't see in the U.S.A. "Better Way" (featuring Beanie Sigal), that deals with struggling but striving for more, and "Here I Come", a track about the life he lives and has lived over a climatic beat!

Cash doesn't forget where he comes from so he does talk about the drugs, guns and women but it's not always in a glorifying fashion sometimes more in the "that's was my situation" position.

Mixed with a lot of beats of substance (produced by Ray Cash, Scarface, Knoxxx, Rick Rock, The Kickdrums, Cooly C, JakPot),and showing styles that would be considered South, Midwest and East, Cash does well on all of them shining strong and his voice is something you can hang your hat and remember.

I can't say some of the tracks won't rub some the wrong way but it's at least catchy along with being a bit racy. Cash definitely has the talent to stay in the game for a while!

I'll give the debut album 4 GeoGlobes.
