Cash Cobain has spoken to NME about working with PinkPantheress and pioneering the current sample drill rap trend.The South Bronx native rose to prominence in 2021 when he produced ‘My Everything’, the breakthrough track for fellow New York rapper B-Lovee that sampled Mary J. Blige’s ‘Everything’.The song went viral online and is considered the catalyst for the city’s popular sample drill trend that has spread across America and elsewhere.
The subgenre sees rappers perform over instrumentals that blend well-known samples from classic R&B or ’00s pop songs with the erratic drum slides of drill music.After the success of ‘My Everything’, two remixes were released to capitalise on the hype – the first was with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and the second featured Chicago drill legend G Herbo.“It felt great,” Cobain told NME, explaining his breakthrough moment. “It just set me apart from everyone else.
