about

What is your idea of luxury?

Does it look like you?

“Sublime,” a track that's more than just music; it's a testament to our shared journey. I've poured my soul into this, and it's a joy to finally unveil it to you.
This song is more than just dope beats and dope rhymes —it's a celebration of something I hold dear: the rich tapestry of culture and experiences that define true luxury. We're flipping the script, redefining luxury beyond material possessions. "Sublime" tells a story where culture, experiences, and the moments that shape us become the real treasures we cherish.
Produced by the legendary Grammy Award-winning maestro 88-Keys, and featuring the soulful crooning of Cyren Young, this track is a fusion of funky beats, jazzy undertones, and lyrics that speak of confidence, identity, and the power of embracing oneself.

"Fashion is fashion, that’s not beauty. Beauty is who we are." - Bethann Hardison

I can't wait for you to vibe with it, to feel the pulse of our collective story. Get ready to groove when "Sublime" out right now here on Bandcamp and my website, robcavejr.com (not available on streaming!). It's an auditory journey that celebrates our cultural abundance and the richness of experiences that shape who we are.
And there's more—accompanying the release will be merch that visually encapsulates the essence of this journey, inspired by the lyrics. I'm excited to share this visual narrative with you, a story woven through cultural tapestries and unforgettable moments.
Your continued support means the world to me, and I can't wait for you to dive into this new chapter together. For exclusive previews, interviews, or deeper insights into "Sublime," feel free to connect with me at robcavejr.com.
Thank you again for being on this journey with me. Let's celebrate the beauty of our diverse stories through "Sublime" and the experiences it holds.

Sublime is the first single for a 5 song EP, American Sublime, completely produced by 88-Keys, dropping early 2024.

Stay tuned, and keep grooving.
With gratitude,
Rob

lyrics

What is your idea of luxury?
Does it look like you?

Verse 1: Rob Cave
I was less than impressed by the Louvre
Mona Lisa don’t bang up close I’m more Vaughn Bode, Lady Pink, Phase 2
Helen Folasade Adu
Kimberly Jones is more beautiful if you want to know the truth
Keep in mind I’m from New York City, bitch
Is that the best you can do?
The effort was cute
I’ll give you that much
Cookie in my Dutch
Pussy is my lunch
My styling is luxe
My palace is lush
My auras awesome like it was drawn from Kehinde Wiley’s brush
I sold art to niggas who sold drugs to get me some gold fronts when I was just 15
Went to Triple 5 Soul for a hoodie
Down the street got a tee from Supreme
That’s cool but that was high school
Gotta move on to new thangs
Fe Noel for my boo thang
Pyer Moss for a pure boss moving
Sailing on waves in Costa Rica
Sails catch wind like it grew wings
On the autobahn flying through lanes
Some new scenery will make your mood change
New energy will make you do thangs
A little greenery a little dusse
New day new getaway new plane
New plan, new wave

Hook: Cyren Young
You gotta shine a light
(Shine)
Shine a light sublime
(Get yours)
You gotta shine a light
(Shine)
Shine a light a light sublime
(Get yours)

Verse 2: Rob Cave
Fear of God on my feet and my heart
Fear no man in my heart and my hands
She gives her all for a piece of my love
I make her a part of my plans
Weekend trips and we don’t pack much
Leave room to shop when we land
Keep your phone on airplane mode wait till we get back home to stunt for the gram
I’m fresh enough to Rest In Peace
Bed you’d love the recipe
Family secret I can’t teach
Take heed what the lessons be
Watch how I dress and watch how you address me
Imma need 5 feet
As long as I got 2 hand I’ll roll 10 deep on niggas against me
I’m from Bedford and Quincy
You the best you have yet to convince me
See life through rose tinted lenses
Everything coco breezy
You think life a bitch cuz she is
The best things don’t come easy
I’m about to dig in life’s ribs with the good sense public school did not teach me
They ‘gon try to bring you down
But don’t let ‘em
Stand up tall and adjust your crown
Forget ‘em
If you know what you want then it’s yours right now
Go get it
Anybody in your way getting laid right down
Tell a mother fucker I said it
Tell ‘em I said it

Beth Ann Harrison said, “Fashion is fashion, that’s not beauty, beauty is who we are. You gotta create that. You gotta stand up and create your own definition” that’s
That’s real
What’s your definition?
What is your idea of luxury?
Does it look like you?

Hook: Cyren Young
You gotta shine a light
(Shine)
Shine a light sublime
(Get yours)
You gotta shine a light
(Shine)
Shine a light a light sublime
(Get yours)
