Cash Cobain, the sensuous trailblazer of the drill scene, unveiled the behind-the-scenes story of how he transitioned from slipping into Justin Bieber's DMs to collaborating on a track for the latter's surprising album. The collaboration between the Baby hitmaker and Cash, whose real name is Cashmere Lavon Small, graced the title song of Bieber's latest release.
Their musical connection sparked when Bieber raved about Cash's Trippin on a Yacht track. "Everyone kept sending me that tune, so I followed him back and messaged, 'Now we gotta work together. We gotta create something amazing,'" Cash reminisced. Bieber enthusiastically replied, "Alright, let's do it. I'm definitely vibing with your stuff."
Soon after, the pair convened at Bieber's abode, where they casually jammed, experimenting with beats and brainstorming ideas. "I never saw Bieber fully immersed in his usual Justin Bieber vibe," Cash admitted, impressed by Bieber's dedication during their session. "But I'm confident that whatever we create will be fire."
During the week leading up to the release of SWAG, Bieber informed Cash, the Fisherrr rapper, that he planned to include one of their collaborations on the album. The 27-year-old record producer then tweaked the version, ensuring it made the final cut for Bieber's latest masterpiece, SWAG. "I was like, 'Alright, let's do it,'" Cash said. "So I polished it up, and within a couple of days, it was out in the world."
The track, featuring Eddie Benjamin alongside Cash, graces the album as its 18th song. SWAG debuted with a bang, landing at the number two spot on the Billboard 200.
