Eli Cash is an emcee, producer and musician Tired of what has become the mainstream focus of rap music (excess, guns, diamonds, misogynist lyrics, etc.) Eli Cash and lowKey Productions formed in 2001 to beat the mainstream at its own game. Although starting his career as a drummer, independent emcee/producer Eli Cash has brought a fresh, honest mentality to hip-hop while making a name for himself releasing underground hip-hop albums with fellow producer, the '''Jolly Taxpayer''' under their indie label, the Madison, WI-based '''lowKey Productions''' . Fueled in part by growing up south of Milwaukee in the racially-segregated, poverty-stricken town of Racine,WI , and influenced strongly by the country's post-9/11 way of thinking, Eli Cash mixes firey street-smart wit, memorable choruses and twista-style rhymes with funky, all original production and recording. Eli Cash's debut album, '''' have become an underground classic. In his latest release, 2006's ''Escapism'', Cash mixes deeply personal strife with emerging global issues as he examins the deceptive, careless nature of the US government, the resonating effects of unemployment, depression and the driving need to escape it all. Eli Cash’s insightful lyrics are put to gritty yet melodic backbeats, with production influenes ranging from 60's Doo-Wop and Soul ala Otis Redding, the Shirreles (''"Dreams"'') to alternative hip-hop (Mos Def, RZA, DJ Shadow) and modern rock (Radiohead, RJD2) (''"Neo-Retro"'').
