TOP 5
5. rump punch
What if it tasted like Sprite with bottom shelf vodka?
“rump punch” sounds like “grippy” with a hat on. Not only do they share similar low-quality, Nintendo-sounding beats, but Cobain relies on a very similar melody to get his point across about destroying his woman’s vagina worse than Kyrie Irving destroys ankles. At the end of the day, the song is catchy, features a relentless flow that is actually pretty impressive, and contains unique ways of saying Cobain is an eater.
4. fisherrr (Ft. Bay Swag)
I’m not exactly sure I’ve heard two artists go back and forth about eating vajayjay.
If you want to know what these jits tell women at clubs, listen to “fisherrr.” In the track, which is driven by this very calm instrumental, Cash Cobain and Bay Swag go back and forth about a chick that is hot and cold, likes her vajayjay ate, and likes playing with more poles than a construction worker. Though I think they are speaking pure gibberish for the most part, I do think the track is slightly catchy and I rock with the frantic flow that they both utilize.
3. dunk contest or grippy
Why am I just finding out that “grippy” is a remix to “dunk contest?”
“dunk contest/grippy” features a glitchy, unorthodox beat that might make you dance weirder than a white guy on a molly. In “Grippy,” Cole does his best to manipulate the beat, delivering his bars with a fast-paced, zany flow that pairs perfectly with his slight melody and lyrical content that makes him come across as someone who just experienced some bomb vajayjay for the first time. Ultimately, it’s Cash Cobain who steals the show with his high-pitched vocals and frantic flow, reminiscent of 24hrs. Overall, this collaboration is both fun and weird.
2. slizzy honcho don (Ft. Quavo & Don Toliver)
I personally believe Cash Cobain sounds his best with artists like Quavo and Don Toliver.
“slizzy honcho don” starts with a dreamy beat that gradually evolves into something more intense, marked by heavy stomps and atmospheric elements. Cash Cobain and Quavo trade verses over the beat, spitting reckless bars about birds singing, using poles, and smutting out women. What stands out is how they both ride the beat with a sporadic flow that DDG has been abusing recently. Cobain brings a robotic vibe, while Quavo adds a sly twist. The track closes with Don Toliver’s spellbinding vocals, revealing his demonic side in the smoothest way possible. All in all, I think this might be Cash Cobain’s best track yet (He isn’t on “Problem,” is he?).
1. Problem (Ft. Big Sean, Flo Milli, Fabolous, Don Q, Rob49, 6LACK, Anycia, YN Jay, Luh Tyler, Kaliii, Lay Bankz, Chow Lee, and Flee)
B*tch, I might be in this song, too.
“Problem” boasts an impressive lineup, featuring Big Sean, Flo Milli, Fabolous, Don Q, Rob49, 6LACK, Anycia, YN Jay, Luh Tyler, Kaliii, Lay Bankz, Chow Lee, and Flee. With such a diverse cast, each artist delivers an exciting and engaging verse that meshes well with Cash Cobain’s glitchy, bass-heavy production and Laila!’s incredibly catchy hook. Despite its lengthy run time, the track never feels stale, maintaining its energy and appeal throughout.

Listen, you’ll never turn me into the biggest Cash Cobain fan. However, I fully understand why people like him.
Cash Cobain isn’t a strong rapper or singer. I wish I had a more refined way to express this, but that’s the gist of it. His voice is strange, his flows are average at best, and his lyrics are pretty basic. To me, he comes across as a more fearless and robotic version of NAV. That said, Cobain’s music does have a certain appeal to a younger audience, especially with his unapologetic, jit-inspired words. About 90% of his content revolves around smashing chicks, while the remaining 10% touches on themes like violence or questioning why certain chicks aren’t behaving the way he expects. Cool.
One thing I find elite about this album is the vibes it creates. Cash Cobain’s simple/glitchy beats typically feature a blend of tranquil, atmospheric sounds and laid-back rhythms that create a relaxed vibe, making it perfect for setting the mood with someone special, especially if you’re both vibing on edibles.
Thank God for the guest appearances on this album. Though 90% of them are featured in “Problem,” the other names also added different flavors to a project that certainly needed. I would’ve suffered from answering machine poisoning if it wasn’t for the other people on this album.
I’m very curious to see how this album is received. It might determine where hip-hop goes these next few years.
