Ca$h Money Click

Posted: 31 Jan 2009 07:00 AM PST

Representin' Hollis, Ca$h Money Click consisted of three hungry Queens emcees. In 1994, Group Members Ja Rule, Nemesis, & Chris Black released their first 12" inch titled"4 My Click B/W Get The Fortune". The 12" was really successful as Cash Money Click did videos for both tracks which you can see on Youtube. 4 My Click also featured an appearance by fellow Queens emcee Mic Geronimo who had already recorded his first single "It's Real" produced by CMC main producer DJ Irv(AKA Irv Gotti). Ca$h Money Click released a follow-up 12" titled "Get The Fortune (Remix) B/W She Swallowed It". Blunt Recordings only put out a few DJ-only promos of the 12" as it remains rare to this day. I have ripped it and I'm pretty sure that it's the first time it's available as a download. Also, "4 My Click B/W Get The Fortune" is the CD Single, not a vinyl rip. Cash Money Click never released a full album but I heard that one was recorded. I was recently given an unreleased CMC track from 1994 taken from one of their sessions by T.R.O.Y. member itzmurda; it was titled "Wartime".
