Hand Outs” in the fourth quarter of 2014. The latest accomplishment of the duo was a culmination

of a successful studio year which included working with 2 Chainz, August Alsina, Ty Dolla $ign, and

many other heavy hitters. With skyrocketing demand for features, hooks and writing TK N CASH are

carving out a unique space in the market, complete with thousands of screaming, video sharing,

ticket buying, song downloading, sign making fans; all of which spell longevity! Watch any of their

videos, or listen to any of their music, and it becomes clear why these Augusta, Georgia bred MCs

are poised to take over the entertainment industry.

The story of TK N CASH is one of two distinct, yet very similar paths that eventually met with

one dream in mind. That was not only to become stars, but all around success stories. TK, born

Tevin Thompson, is a naturally confident networker. His talent and drive collide to ensure he

succeeds at what he sets his sights on. He won’t stop at anything short of platinum albums and a

few Grammys. To his credit, TK has placements with Trey Songz, Meek Mill, Flo Rida, Kevin Gates,

Juicy J, and many more.

Cash, born Derrin Towsend, was learning the meaning of hard work while most young people

were solely focused on middle school. Working on his dreams since the tender age of 12, he knows

that the key to getting what he wants lies in determination. That willpower has fueled his fire to

invade and occupy the industry at all cost. It was only a matter of time before TK met Cash

performing around the Augusta area and realized their success lied in pairing up. They formed Banq

Boi Entertainment and began creating music, and performing as TK N CASH. In 2008 they moved to

Atlanta where they wasted no time making a name for themselves. After performing in a talent

search at recording artist Ludacris’ Disturbing Tha Peace, the two were quickly offered a deal with

the record label. The duo signed to Chris Lighty’s Violator Management, a week before he died.

The current generation of Hip-Hop has the challenging task of providing quality mass appeal

music, while staying relatable to a core fan base, the good news for TK N CASH, the masses are their

core fan base. Leading the way for artist that are both talented and theatrical, the pair are ushering

in a new lifestyle movement in Hip Hop, one as concerned with what you have to say as they are how

you say it. Taking note from legends before them, you can hear the influence of rap greats in their

music, blending a traditional hip-hop approach with a little swag of their own.

2014 saw monumental gains from deals, to mixtapes and major label song writing credits, but the

journey is far from over. TK explains “that each time we set and meet a goal for ourselves its not the end

of one goal it’s the beginning of the next” and Cash sums it up as “music doesn’t take breaks and neither

do we”.
