Cash Cobain is up to his old antics again.
The Bronx rapper and producer has been known to post snippets of songs he’s making on social media. Sometimes he releases the finished product, sometimes he doesn’t. So there’s no telling if he will ever officially drop his remix of Laila!’s viral “Not-My-Problem” song. But that doesn’t matter because a bunch of artists have already recorded verses to his remix. Laila! went viral when she performed “Not-My-Problem” and “Like That!” on On the Radar. The latter of which went viral on TikTok spawning a dance meme thanks to a fan with the username madozilla.
“Like That!” was also No. 1 on TikTok’s music chart and also lived for six weeks straight on the TikTok Top 50 back in April and “Not-My-Problem” is currently sitting at No. 38 and has been on the chart for a month, peaking at No. 16. She recently put out a call to producers on TikTok to remix “Not-My-Problem” and is making a playlist on her SoundCloud of all the submissions, so far.
Memes aside, I was happy to finally put a face to the “Like That!” song. I’ve seen people posting that dance all over the place and was always curious about who made the song. Sometimes you have to do some digging, because people manipulate these songs and you never realize that they might have a rap verse or two until you go look for yourself. And not only does Laila! rap and sing, she makes all of her own beats.
These “Not-My-Problem” remixes remind me of dancehall, where you would have a bunch of different artists who take a riddim and add their own flavor to it, sometimes making something completely different. Dancehall producer Lenky’s Diwali Riddim comes to mind, with Wayne Wonder, Lumidee and Sean Paul each making popular songs using the same beat in 2003.
My sources tell me Cash is thinking about either making a mega mix, like a Slizzy “We Are the World,” or he may continue posting the snippets as he gets them.
Slizzyfeed — the social media account for all things Cash Cobain — compiled a list of the snippets that have surfaced, so far, so I ranked them. I’ll see about updating the list if more artists decide to ride this wave. We need Laila! and Ice Spice to add some verses, too. Let’s keep this party going.

Karrahbooo
This version has gotten mixed reviews, and I still can’t figure out if I like it or not. Maybe it’s because she chose to rap on a different portion of the beat? Anyways, some of the bars are kinda clever, at least.

Anycia
The Triller snippet is really bringing the feeling back for me. Anycia brought great energy here, but they might need to fix her vocals if they decide to put her on the finished song. Something sounds off.

YN Jay
You have to ask yourself, why wouldn’t the “Coochie Man” be involved? It’s almost as if the stars aligned to make this happen. His unique flow brings a new dimension to this remix. I wouldn’t be mad if he makes the final cut.

Fabolous
The OG has entered the chat. Fab gives a valiant effort and shows the youngins how it’s done. He made sure to send his pack to New York City radio, too — perfect for Flex to drop bombs over while you’re driving over the Brooklyn Bridge on a summer night with your hair blowing in the wind.

Lil Yachty
Yachty understood the assignment. And I like how he decided not work his verse around Laila!’s vocals. I’m also always a fan of raps centered around trickin’.

Kyle Richh
Repping Brooklyn Drill group 41, Kyle Ricch shows off his versatility on one of the better offerings. They look like they’re having a ball at the crib.

6lack
Dare I say, 6lack blacked on this? He’s known for R&B, but he’s an underrated rapper, and gets into his MC bags sometimes. Might need him on the official Cashmix.

Flee
Flee and Cash have linked up a bunch of times, so the producer asking him to hop on this remix was only right.
“My b—h from Texas, Houston we might have a…” goes very hard. Gotta put this one towards the top.

Chow Lee
We definitely needed to hear one of the Sexy Drill originators on this. “Five b–ches, two-seater, that’s a problem” is a bar.

Cash Cobain
This is vintage Cash right here. Not only did he make the beat, he also delivers some fun bars, as he finally admits to being the horniest rapper alive.
