Stack Up Plan Vol. 1 by HAVANA CA$H




At age 12, Havana Cash stepped into the rap game after sparring every night, in freestyle rap battles with his older brother and friends in his father’s basement. As time passed, Cash developed his own style and constantly worked on perfecting his skills. It was in high school when Cash earned his respect and made a name for himself by murdering Mcs in every rap battle.

Growing up on the tough streets of Toledo, Ohio taught Cash how to survive at an early age. His life experiences are reflected in his songs and style of rap. After examining the many issues that Cash faced in high school, he decided to turn his love for rap into a full time career. After his departure from high school, Cash has released 10 mixtapes and 2 underground albums, all of which he promoted successfully in over 10 major cities across America.

This mid-west rapper has performed at many local shows in Ohio ( The Collington Art Center and Macomber to name a few), won competitions and has open for national recording artist such as, Lil Wayne, Slim Thug, Lyfe Jennings and Remy Martin. Cash dedicates his work and is driven by the lost of late best friend, rap affiliate Justin D. Alley, who was killed on Aug. 20, 2003. By any means necessary, HAVANA CASH is determined to be the next multi-platinum rap star.



LYRICISM C+:
Lyrically he's alright nothing special. He's just an average rapper as far as that goes but he give soff this good sense of confidence that I like. He reps OHIO real hard tho. But he's still just average at best on this album.


Production C+:
Just average production on this as well. Most of the beats soudn the same and his lyrics don't compliment them. THey're all rather simple and I don't like that when everything is the same almost or theres no creativity.


Anthems/Bumpability B-:
The song OHIO is an anthem for OHIO and it is just an all out dope track that I love cuz it appeals to me coming from Ohio. He's got this very mainstream style about him that makes him good and gives him a chance at fame. But other than that the tracks are all still very average and kind of boring.


Last Words:
Havana Cash is a talented rapper and still young so he has a long way to go but I think he can accomplish his dream. I hope he can help put Ohio on the map.
