B4T Cash Inn isn’t interested in fitting into a box. A lifestyle rapper with a distinctive voice and a versatile approach, he can take a record from high-energy rap to a melodic, laid-back feel without losing his identity.
When asked about his childhood and upbringing, his answer was simple: “Awesome.” That same straightforward energy carries into the way he approaches his music. There’s no need to over-explain who he is. B4T Cash Inn would rather let the music do the talking.
His musical influences came from some of the biggest names in rap. Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Boosie, Webbie, 50 Cent, T.I., and Drake were artists he listened to growing up. While they didn’t necessarily inspire him to become an artist, their music helped him get through difficult days. For B4T Cash Inn, their records were more about motivation than inspiration.
That mindset continues to shape his own music today. When asked how he would describe his sound, his response was just as direct: “Like Cash Inn.”
There isn’t one specific studio or location that defines his catalog either. B4T Cash Inn records wherever he can go. Whether the environment is perfect or not, the goal is to keep creating and putting music together.
Growing up, one of the local spots where he spent his time was the strip club. Those experiences, along with everything else life has brought his way, became part of the lifestyle and perspective that shows up in his music.
His latest release, “Somn Serious,” is out now, giving listeners another chance to tap into the world of B4T Cash Inn. And when it comes to what’s next, he’s keeping things close to the chest. When asked if there was new music to look out for, he simply responded, “What my name is?”
That’s B4T Cash Inn — confident, unpredictable, and comfortable being himself.
At the end of the day, when asked who he wanted to shout out for helping him along the journey, there was only one answer:
God.
