Emerging New York City rapper Cash Cobain scores his first career entry as a billed recording artist on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated June 8), thanks to his new collaboration with Don Toliver and Charlie Wilson, “Attitude.”
Released May 22 on Cactus Jack/Atlantic Records, the song debuts at No. 96 almost entirely from its streaming sum: 5.7 million official U.S. streams in its first full tracking week (May 24-30), according to Luminate. It also starts at No. 25 on Hot Rap Songs and No. 29 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
The song is slated to appear on Don Toliver’s fourth album, Hardstone Psycho, due June 14. It samples Snoop Dogg’s No. 6-peaking 2003 Hot 100 hit “Beautiful,” featuring Pharrell and Wilson.
