Embracing the Hustle: Cashtank’s Rise from the Streets

In a world where success is often measured by material wealth and outward appearances, Cashtank’s journey stands as a testament to the power of perseverance, authenticity, and unwavering faith. As the opening lines of his track “Cashtank – Reglo” reveal, this artist has faced his fair share of challenges, navigating the harsh realities of life on the streets and the temptation to take the “easy” path.

Yet, Cashtank’s story is not one of defeat, but of triumph. He could have “gone legit,” as he so eloquently puts it, but he chose to stay true to himself and his roots, grinding tirelessly to make his dreams a reality. This decision, while not without its struggles, has forged a resilience and self-assurance that shines through in his music and his message.

One of the most poignant moments in the track comes when Cashtank reflects on the weight of his own pride, acknowledging that it had prevented him from “writ[ing] [his] wrongs” and accepting help from others. This moment of self-reflection speaks to the depth of Cashtank’s character, as he grapples with the complexities of his past and the lessons he has had to learn the hard way.

The Power of Faith and Perseverance

Not just rapping all these songs,” it becomes clear that his journey is about more than just chasing success or fame.

Cashtank’s refrain of “I ain’t legit yet” further underscores this idea, as he acknowledges that his journey is ongoing, a constant battle against the demons that have threatened to derail him. Yet, in the face of this adversity, he remains steadfast, driven by an unshakable determination to prove his worth and make his mark on the world.

The Importance of Authenticity and Staying True to Oneself

One of the most striking aspects of Cashtank’s story is his unwavering commitment to authenticity.

Instead, he has chosen to forge his own path, embracing the unique qualities and experiences that have shaped him into the artist and individual he is today.

This dedication to authenticity is not only admirable, but it also serves as a powerful inspiration to others who may be struggling to find their own voice and identity. In a world that often values conformity and the pursuit of external validation, Cashtank’s refusal to compromise his true self is a refreshing and empowering reminder that the most meaningful success often comes from within.

The Enduring Bonds of Community and Loyalty

Woven throughout Cashtank’s lyrics is a deep appreciation for the relationships and connections that have sustained him through the ups and downs of his journey.

Scroll Up Magazine Launches the First Hip-Hop Magazine to Bring Social Media, Viral Content, and Street Culture Directly to Those Behind Bars

01 Novemberrealhiphop

This month marks the launch of Scroll Up Magazine, the culture’s newest voice and the first publication designed specifically to bridge the gap between the incarcerated community and the rapidly evolving world of hip-hop, social media, and street culture.

Founded by Crystal Gotti and Richie Forbes, Scroll Up Magazine addresses a critical need: keeping those behind bars connected to the culture they helped build but have been locked out of experiencing. For the estimated 1.9 million people currently incarcerated in the United States, staying connected to family, friends, and the cultural movements happening on the outside has never been more challenging – or more important.

“You don’t scroll the jack – you scroll the page,” says Crystal Gotti, Co-Founder and Culture Editor. “Some of our readers haven’t touched down in years. They have no idea what a TikTok video looks like, what’s trending on Instagram, or what’s moving the culture right now. We bring the world to their hands – unfiltered, unbought, and unstoppable.”

What Makes Scroll Up Different:

Unlike traditional magazines, Scroll Up Magazine transforms the digital experience into print, featuring:

Viral TikTok videos captured as photo sequences with captions Instagram posts pulled directly from the timeline Memes, video stills, and social media moments that define the culture.

Issue One launches with a powerful cover story:

“Welcome Home Pooh Shiesty” An in-depth feature on the Memphis rapper’s recent release from federal custody after three years, his welcome home celebration, and his plan to reclaim his throne in hip-hop.

Who This Magazine Serves:

Scroll Up Magazine is essential reading for:

Incarcerated individuals seeking connection to the culture and current events. Families and loved ones of the incarcerated who want to send meaningful, engaging content and Hip-hop enthusiasts who value authentic, street-level perspectives.

Scroll Up Magazine offers more than entertainment – it offers hope, connection, and proof that the culture hasn’t moved on without them.
