Cashh, formerly known as Cashtastic, is a Jamaican-born, South London-raised rapper known for his sharp pen game and his ability to blend genres with ease.
In 2014, at the height of his career, he was deported to Jamaica, despite having lived in the UK since the age of six. He arrived with no housing and no contacts. Instead of stopping, he went deeper into his craft and built a global sound - a mix of rap, dancehall and r&b, full of real stories and raw emotion.
He touched back down in the UK in 2019 and came back stronger. In 2021 he released Return of the Immigrant, a powerful album that laid bare his experiences of deportation, identity and resilience. He has since featured on Little Simz’ “Blood” and Wretch 32’s “Windrush”.
Off the mic, Cashh is using his voice to change the conversation around immigration. He is building the Proud Immigrant foundation to support others who have faced similar struggles.
Five years on, Return of the Immigrant returns on vinyl. It’s proof that no setback can hold you down if you move with purpose.
