Ramone Johnson, better known by his stage name Cashis/Ca$his, is an American rapper, born and raised in Chicago,[citation needed] but relocated to Irvine, California to get away from the dangerous street life and to pursue his rap career. Cashis' group "The Renegades" sent a demo tape to Eminem's Shady Records label hoping for a record deal.
Cashis was first showcased in mainstream rap when he was featured on Eminem's mixtape turned album, Eminem Presents the Re-Up. Although he featured on many of the tracks, his first solo release was the charting County Hound EP, on May 22, 2007. The County Hound reached #1 on Billboard's "Top Heatseekers" chart, #37 on the "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" chart and #106 on "The Billboard 200".
