How a 25-year-old makes bread posting memes about Soundcloud rappers
With the rise of the internet, we saw the rise of something greater, memes.
You may think memes are just some harmless source of entertainment but Ka5sh, a professional meme maker, claims otherwise.
Now living in LA, the North Carolina native is going viral for his unusual occupation.
In a recent interview with NBC Ka5sh claims major music labels have contacted him to create memes around artists with upcoming albums:
“Let’s say like, Interscope wants me to make a pack of memes for a release for a certain rapper. And they want everyone to think that that rapper has a lot of like, buzz around them and that other people are making memes about them, but it’s really just me making a whole bunch of them and then them being dispersed through different accounts.”
Dude isn’t exactly wrong. Think back to “Hotline Bling” and all the attention Drake got from the incessant social media memes and gifs.
Here’s the lit interview he did with NBC.
"I've literally survived off of meme money this whole year"

Ka5sh posted this meme the same day Playboi Carti’s debut mixtape dropped:
When Ka5sh isn’t making memes he is also a rapper and artist who is definitely worth checking out.
His music video “I’m Depressed” is full of symbolism and flat out hilarious:
It’s no surprise labels have begun to market their artists through memes. As the rise in meme culture has exploded, nothing grabs your attention like a good meme.
Here are some of Ka5sh’s best memes.
