Cash to Burn (Demo)

Kanye West

“Cash To Burn” is an unreleased throwaway demo of Kanye West, recorded during sessions for Yandhi. It leaked online on August 30, 2019.

Two demo versions of the song surfaced together: this rough version by Ye, and a second featuring vocals from Ant Clemons. As is typical with many demos, it finds Kanye mumbling as he attempts to lay down a melody. It’s likely that this is the original version of the song, with Ye laying down a reference for Styles P later also recorded a reference for Kanye.

The track samples “Red Light” by Greenslade; vocalist Dave Lawson can be heard throughout the song.
