Former Columbia Records recording artist Ray Cash obtains Ohio State Real Estate License

Murder 4 Life would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to Ray Cash, who this week passed his Ohio State Real Estate Licensing Exam. Ray Cash born Wardell Raymond Cheeks, was an aspiring rapper hailing from a section of Eastside Cleveland colorfully referred to as the "Hill." Best known for being named Ray Cash and being from Cleveland, Cash has been largely absent from the musical scene since the two week period following the release of his debut album, C.O.D.(Cash on Delivery) in 2006. Cash has accepted an offer to work for Century 21 in Shaker Heights a suburb of his hometown of Cleveland.

When reached for comment, Cash was optimistic about his new career, "If you think the rap hustle is bananas you have no idea what kind of home I can put you in for a low down payment. Flossin? Invest in some property, put your moms up. Come see me in the hood. Century 21 for life Its a buyers market now bitch, get lowwww introductory financing.”

Cash's new enterprise is earning him rave reviews from his customers. Reggie Taylor, a recent home buyer says Cash found him a condo that was both in his price range and in close proximity from his place of employment. "Yo, Ray Cash? I co-sign this dude to the fullest. He put me up in a nice condo with a fixed loan approval. Now that what's really hood! Dude looks real familiar, wasn't he the short cat from Bone Thugz? What happened to them? I'm a get on the internet and cop that as soon as I get my wireless on," said Taylor.

Cash’s family is similarly optimistic about his new career choice. When reached for comment, Cash’s mother Nel Cheeks shared, “We’re all so proud of Raymond. He made such nice music but I think we all knew it was time for him to come home, have a regular job, meet a nice girl, raise a family.”

Cash’s license allows him to own, manage or operate his own brokerage. Real estate licenses are those authorizations by a local or state administration given to agents and/or brokers to be able to legally represent a seller or buyer in the process of buying or selling real estate in that specific community or state. In order to become licensed, most states require that an applicant take a minimum number of classes before taking the state licensing exam. Such education is often provided by real estate brokerages as a means to finding new agents.
