Much love to Lil’ Wayne but I can’t do this but fuck it I’m high still man, Dubcnn what it do.

Dubcnn: We know Cashis, you are a regular on Dubcnn but we always want to know what’s up with you, what’s keeping up. You got projects coming up so tell us what you been working on recently and the timeline for everything.

Cashis: Alright well I got projects that’s dropping like I said. Euthinasia at the end of February on Bogish Brand Entertainment, it’s going to be crazy, its a crazy project I got to put together from start to finish and it’s exactly what I want the people to hear.

Riknatti: No skips...

Cashis: Yes, we got the No Skips mixtape that’s coming out. That’s all original, it’s a street album and also I’ve got an ITunes album for my iTunes that’s launching in February also.

Riknatti: The Re-Introduction...

Cashis: And we have the Re-Introduction mixtape, which is over everybody else’s beats and I’m slaughtering them. Putting them out there, I want to keep the fans getting free material.

Riknatti: Homeland Security 2.

Cashis: Yes, we got Homeland Security 2 coming out. We got a gang of shit we're working on. We're re-launching Ca$his Clothing, doing all kinds of shows and everything like that and the Art Of Dying on Shady Records. Its already done and turned in its just whenever they push the button it’s on. It’s either coming the first or second quarter so get ready for that but Euthinasia is coming first.

Dubcnn: Tell us as much as you can about The Art Of Dying. I know everybody’s been waiting for that for a while.

Cashis: The Art Of Dying is a crazy project man. It was me from like 2007 until like the beginning 2009. That was just my whole life. Production from Riknatti on there, like 7 beats from Eminem on there. Like 3 from Jake One. A gang of other people, Sha Money. It’s a gang of people on there making beats and the songs are exactly what you would expect. The Art of Dying is a crazy project, coming out on Shady. It’s poppin’ man, I can’t tell y’all much more cause I get in trouble every time I give out secrets. They be like, "Man why'd you tell them?". So I can’t tell you all the songs, just knows there’s 5 singles picked already. That’s all I can say.

Dubcnn: Definitely, tell us you what you been working on with Em. Obviously he’s your man, put you on and everything. Did you get to be around that when he was doing Relapse and he’s doing Relapse 2 now...

Cashis: Yes man, we chop it up over the phone. I see him when he comes out to Cali or when they go to like Vegas or something but other than that I been on my grind like doing hella shows. Like he put me on but I made my own name which I’ve done and I kept us poppin’ and Shady Records and that enabled him to come back and be able to come and do the music he is doing right now. He ain’t gotta do no punk check because I ain’t done no punk shit while he was gone. Like he let me boss up and be a capo and start my own brand up underneath the family, which is crazy and I turnt in an album that’s ridiculous and he’s proud of that like he should be. like I’m proud of the work he doing. We talk on the phone and give each other encouragement and stuff but sometimes he may be in Miami or Detroit and I may be in Cali or somewhere overseas. My schedule hasn’t let me be in the studio with him as much as i would have liked to but were gonna change all that up in February. What up Detroit?! I’m coming to y’all in February after the All Star, what up Detroit?!

Dubcnn: I know a lot of people have been hearing rumors about Slaughterhouse and Shady. What can you say about that?

Cashis: That’s tight. I don’t know Joell, but he a cool dude I respect his flow fo sho. Joe Budden can rap. Crooked, that’s my homeboy. Royce that’s my big homeboy. You know what they bring to the microphone all day. Who knows what happens. If they do that’s good but if they don’t i still support their movement regardless of whatever happens. I don’t know, I can’t say. I don’t get in peoples business as far as that goes. Ain’t nobody told me nothing so when they tell me something, I’m sure I’ll find out right before the world finds out if that’s true but good luck if it is. Good luck to y’all on the real.

Dubcnn: Alright cool man, thanks for your time. Tell us about this event that’s going on with Nap that y‘all doing the songs for, come here to perform.

Cashis: Man, this is the homie Napsac at Fernando’s Hideaway. I don’t know man I just got off the plane I’m high. Its just like a little get together at the comedy club, ain’t too many people here but we finna come knock out the record and give ‘em what we got.

Napsac: Cashis basically came here to support, he been supporting since day 1 representing for Napsac. So as he’s still representing, he’s come out to Lac Motion requested by Anthony, Roy Anthony. Dubcnn has come out to do coverage, supporting the whole movement like everybody has been doing, so we appreciate it. Its 2010, 2k and once again we want to say thank you to Cashis, Shady Records, Eminem, Dre, Dubcnn and the whole posse and Riknatti, what’s happenin'?

Cashis: 714, 773. Dubcnn patna! You feel me? West Coast with it. Holla at me, y’all see that look y’all see ain’t no playin’ right. I’m focused right now, my rapping is better I’m sure y’all been seeing i was giving songs a day, I’ve been improving. I’m on my lyric style right now. I’m showing y’all something, but my lifestyle is full gone. Remember look at this, this is the last thing y’all see remember that. Im serious about this and I heard everything y’all been saying homie, I been on the road though I heard everything man. They don’t want me to say anything back, for everybody that’s wondering. They don’t want me to say nothing back cause they know how I’mma take it. So I’m not allowed to come at people that’s been coming at us right now so you know. I’m keeping it peaceful until somebody say my name or Bogish, and then its on cause I’m on the leash right now, I cant trip, we gotta get the Art of Dying out. Just remember that man, remember I’mma keep it truth for y’all all day 100% hip hop. Dubcnn, Capo!
