KA$HDAMI CELEBRATES 18TH BIRTHDAY WITH NEW 18 EP

NEW YORK, NY (December 16, 2022) — Celebrating his 18^Th birthday in style, rapper, entrepreneur, visionary, and the DMV’s hottest rising star KA$HDAMI unleashes a new EP appropriately titled 18 today led by via Mercury Records/Republic Records. Listen to 18—HERE.

The six-track body of work marks a major milestone for Ka$hdami as he’s created an extraordinary life for himself all before becoming a legal adult. His focus single “MISSED IT” captures his mood perfectly as he flexes, “You too average, lil n***a you probably wouldn’t get it. You probably got a shot but your dumb ass missed it.” Elsewhere the opening track “OUT THE SPOT” fuses entrancing melodies to transcendent production. “KIT-KAT!” turns up the heat as KA$HDAMI’s off-kilter flow glides over a beat cooked up by Nick Mira and Census. “SPIN!” possesses all the ingredients of a signature banger as he cyclically repeats “Spin, Spin, Spin” on the hook. Moreover, Matt Ox pulls up with a quotable verse of his own during the latter.

Check out the full tracklisting below.

18 only continues a prolific season for the plugg pioneer, landing in the wake of September’s WORLD DAMINATION. The latter has piled up over 10 million cumulative streams in addition to attracting critical applause.
