Ice Rink
Yes, you’re reading that right. Cashmere Cat and DJ Mustard. I had to say it again for it to really sink in. Our favorite feline has been slowly making his reign known in the American hip-hop scene, what with the Ludacris, Wiz Khalifa and Jeremih joint, “Party Girls,” and “Body Language” with Usher, Tinashe and Kid Ink. That’s already an impressive résumé in only two songs. Even though he’s stayed fairly behind the scenes with these prior releases, a change is occurring, and “Ice Rink” is about to be the catalyst.
You can’t argue that DJ Mustard is everywhere. With Cashmere’s unpredictable production and apparent fondness for hip-hop driven remixes, this collaboration makes perfect sense. It works so well too. The bouncy nature of Mustard’s beats squaring off with Cashmere’s ice cold synths, vocal chopping and command of space favor each other for a spectacular result. While it may just be another day for Mustard, it’s exciting to see Cashmere Cat’s consistent rise going so smoothly. This mean nothing but spectacular things for the future of hip-hop, and there’s even been hints of more tunes with these two on the way. Let’s hope so.
