The element in Miami has always been, follow the club scene. Between nightclubs and strip clubs, artists normally build a fanbase through their music and what audience or subject matter they cater to. Nowadays Jook and Stick music have created such a buzz that artists continue to contribute to that type of music that fans seem to indulge. More so it is also evident that they are beginning to dabble in production along with their lyrical still as the music in Miami continues to grow at an extreme rapid level.
One artist defies all odds. That artist goes by the moniker Reggie Cash Flow, this talented musician has literally gone above expectations on his tracks, not only does he rap, he also provides the vocals to a real catchy hook and surprising, he also is responsible for the bass dropping production on most of his tracks as well as some others. His tracks can be heard throughout most of the strip clubs across the Miami city limits, I guarantee you there is not track that doesn’t provide a catchy hook or flow. With a plethora of companies and people behind this man, there is no saying what he will do next. I introduce you to the Renaissance man, the one and only Reggie Cash Flow, if you don’t know him yet, get to know him cause he’s coming up real fast.
24: Introduce yourself for the people that don’t already know who you are.
Reggie: Reggie Cash to the Flow, Liberty City, Brown Subs Representer. Representing with CJ, C-Ride, Stacks Ent, and ElusiveEntertainment.
24:Explain to the fans where all of this came from, where did it start from for Reggie Cash Flow?
Reggie:Well, Reggie Cash Flow is a rapper, singer, and producer. It all started from high school doing music all throughout high school in symphonic band, jazz band, and marching band. It all just started from being around music, I was always doing music, rapping, started from producing and I just took it to the next level found a swag and that’s how it is, but mainly everybody know me from doing music and that’s how it’s always been.
24:How did you get into the production part of the music?
Reggie: It was done by not taking rap so serious until I really found out how to produce beats, format songs and it automatically came. I jumped on a song then you know the format of doing a song, a proper song and it’s like you take one serious than the other.
24: When it comes down to production what is your most used instrument?
Reggie: It first began with the drums, but it all starts from the melody. It can be strings or brass hits things like that, and it’s all about the bass line, if that bass line riding, the beat gonna ride.
24:I’ve heard artists tell me over numinous amounts of time that when they sit down to actually write a song, they say beat speaks to them and tells them where the song should go, does that same element go for you?
Reggie: Yeah, a lot of the times I go off the melody of the beat. If the beat is saying something that I can picture, I put some words to it. Like a lot of the times I already have something in my head for a beat and then the hook wouldn’t be a problem. Let it be a chant of something like that, and then I slightly end up into the melody of the beat trying to ride the waveof that beat.
24: When it comes down to doing your beat and writing your songs, would you say you’re trying to get out of that Miami music the Jook labeled music?
Reggie: Certain people say you can’t ride the stick movement, I say that you can put any song to a dance beat. At the end of the day people are still going to dance off that beat. When you talk about living that life being out here in these clubs, it does sound better.
24: Do you want to mention any artist that you have worked with?
Reggie: I’ve worked with Joey H, Brisco. You already know the record, Trina with the ‘Be Alright’ (Remix) with Ludacris. I’m not gonna to lie; Mike Fresh is the one who taught me how to work with the beat machines. I’ve worked with artists like Dead Serious, 3re Da Hardaway, Daz, Trick Daddy, C-Ride, JT Money, Eady, who by the way is really talented.
24: In that being said you’ve done a lot of work, so many people know who you are, is there any labels on the table that are looking at you?
Reggie: Well it’s a small place; we know everybody and everybody know us. We just show the grind, if they decide to come in and holla we’re always open for options. It’s not like we’re closing doors, our arms are all open, but we won’t stop the grind.
24: What would you say sets you aside from any other artist who’s trying to make it right now, I know everyone has a different element to their style, music, delivery, they way they emulate that sound?
Reggie: Music wise, I’m not trying to be like the next man. I’m trying to do what he won’t do. If he won’t get on stage and jook, that’s his problem, but I would and I’m gonna have a nice time. I’m going to sing on my hook and others might be shy and care what the next person says. If you have the talent to sing and dance do whatever then do it. So basically I’m willing to do what the next man won’t.
24: How do the people get in touch with Reggie Cash Flow if they wanted to book you, get to know you or listen to some tracks?
