*XXL [http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=671]C.O.D. (Cash on Delivery) is the debut album of
rapper Ray Cash . He mentions a title called in "P.A.N." which criticizes bubblegum rap. Cash insinuates that his label (Ghet-O-Vision Ent./Sony Urban Music ) before the album's release showed that "it doesn't know what to do with him". This can be proven since his two hits "Sex Appeal" and "Bumpin' my Music" which were released year apart. Thesong , "Bumpin' my Music" and album both reflect a hardcore image of hip-hop. On his debut album, he call-outs a number of his inspirations in the album. Scarface guests as well as many others.
