D.R.A.M. back with “Cash Machine,” which is about cream, cheese, and how he collects guapenese, making it the perfect soundtrack to payday Friday for everyone who had that direct deposit hit at midnight. On the off chance anyone peg him as a one-hit wonder behind “Cha Cha,” Big Baby D.R.A.M., his adopted stage name at this point, isn’t particularly worried because, as he phrases it, “Best believe my momma straight, And I sent some bands to Tatiana.” In other words, everybody’s eating good on his side.
The VA. singer-rapper’s in a familiar place with Ricky Reed’s hard-striking piano licks taking the focal point on the production side, leaving just enough room for him to playfully exercise his lilt vocals.
“My records all across the wave and there was no payola
This money new, these hundreds blue, I’m talkin’ no Crayola
My credit card is a plastic bankroll
Still keep that nine I get guap from pesos”
With his Lil Yachty-collab “Broccoli” getting good spins on radio and The Spread Love Tour making it’s way across the country, don’t expect him to slow down anytime soon. And each time one of these loose singles connects, they make it clear that D.R.A.M. has more hits in his backpocket to help his staying power stretch way beyond a single song.
