MAKE SURE U CHECK OUT MY NEW MUSIC AND HIT ME UP AT WWW.MYSPACE.COM/CASHLYRICS716 C.A.L. "CA$H AN LYRIC$" At the age of 26, rap artist C.A.L.“CA$H AN LYRIC$” has gained a great amount of respect all over the world with his hit single “Must Be The Ice” produced by Snoops vice president “Jt The Bigga Figga”. It’s hard to believe that he has only been using his artistic skills for almost two years now. This hungry emcee grew up in the rough streets of Buffalo NY with his mom and younger brother. He was forced to take on the role of a man at the age of 8 when his mom and stepfather divorced. His mom worked during the day and tried to better her education at night so it was up to C.A.L. to take care of his younger brother and fend for himself. Being stuck indoors all the time triggered his interest in music. He often recorded music videos to his tape recorder because his mom couldn’t afford to pay the price for the original copies. He then began to write verses and songs at the age of 10. C.A.L. started putting all of his time into music and his grades began to fall. His mother wouldn’t allow music to come between his school work so she took his tape recorder and television and told him that rap music wasn’t allowed in her house. C.A.L.’s dream of being a major artist was destroyed at the age of 13. He then graduated from Campus East grammer school wit merit honors and then attended Bennett High School. C.A.L.’s focus on music really took a turn down south when he was introduced to puberty and pretty girls. He was always focused on the girls and when he couldn’t do that, he was taking care of his younger brother back at home. He and his mom argued back and forth over his freedom and how he was missing out on his teen years, dates, neighborhood pick up games, etc. because of her actions. C.AL. then moved out and moved in with his grandmother. He then got hired at the local Arby’s restaurant and started making money. He later went on to graduate from high shool and then he made one of the biggest decisions in his life. He became a soldier and joined the US AIR FORCE. At the current time he had a girlfriend named Dana whom he convinced to join as well. They married and spent 8 long years and gave birth to two beautiful girls named Kiara and Amiyah while active duty. Everything was going smoothly until one night when he was stationed in South Carolina he was traveling home after performing for the troops when he hit a deer and his vehicle flipped on it’s side. Remarkably C.A.L. had on his seat belt and just held onto the wheel so he wouldn’t get thrown around in the vehicle. God was on his side that night. He didn’t walk away with one bruise. C.A.L. then received orders to move to Colorado Springs in April 2003. Once again everything seemed great until a frightening thing happened on August 9th 2003. C.A.L. and his 2yr. Daughter Kiara were traveling to get some breakfast @ 10:00 a.m. when they were all of a sudden ran off of the road by a drunk driver. The two were ejected from the vehicle while it rolled over three times causing the car to be totaled. C.A.L. went through the driver window and suffered a severe laceration to his left hand, pins in his fingers, fractured ribs, and a banged up right leg. Kiara amazingly only received two scrapes on her knees. Dana couldn’t take the military life any longer and C.A.L. was tired of fighting the war for Bush so the two separated and received honorable discharge certificates. C.A.L. and the family then relocated back to Buffalo NY and tried to start his music dream all over again. C.A.L. went to Guitar Center and purchased all of the necessities to start his own personal recording studio in the attic. He then went on to spending most of his time making beats and recording new songs. His wife Dana then became jealous and felt as though C.A.L. wasn’t spending enough time with the family and wanted him to give it all up. It was like De Ja Vu. C.A.L. told Dana that music was his heart and dream and she said these words. “GO AND FUCK YOUR MUSIC THEN” The two separated and C.A.L. refused to give up on his dream twice. In 8 months C.A.L. stayed on the grind and released two mixtapes. He was quickly recognized in the city of Buffalo NY for his rap talent. Focused more than ever, C.A.L. spent numerous hours posting bulletins on his myspace account trying to promote his music to the best of his ability. Keeping his eyes and ears open He then came across a bulletin from Snoop stating that they had beat packages, accapellas, and distribution deals for serious independent artists. C.A.L. responded to the bulletin and was provided the number to get in contact with Jt the Bigga Figga. The two exchanged multiple conversations and C.A.L. was invited to fly out to Oakland to work on his next project. C.A.L. saved up $15,000 and flew out to California to meet Jt . During his three week stay in California C.A.L. creatively mixed his NY swag wit the West Coast sound and came up with his hit single “Must Be The Ice” gaining the ears of listeners of all ages from the United States, Germany, UK, and Canada. “Must Be The Ice” has been featured on three Mixtapes worldwide and is still getting airplay and spins in the local clubs. C.A.L. has since recorded 15 songs produced by JT for his upcoming self entitled album “C.A.L.” He has excelled and worked harder in two years than many so called artists that have been rhyming for years. He feels he now owes it to his self, his kids, and his ex wife to get a recording deal. He promised the lord that he would die going for this dream and won’t quit this time. God still has him on this earth for a reason. It’s Music can’t u hear it?
