The first MC of significance to be supported by Swizz Beatz's J-affiliated Full Service label, Cassidy is a fresh-faced Philadelphian who gained a lot of attention as a battle rapper -- with a successful bout against Freeway as one of the first feathers in his cap.
People who had been following him through several mixtape appearances were more than a little surprised by the angle taken on his first solo single, "Hotel." Rather than build on his street credibility, Cassidy used the song -- with vocal hooks courtesy of R. Kelly -- to establish himself as an MC who could just as easily deliver a softer chart-aimed hit. "Hotel" more or less piggybacked Chingy's "Holidae In" as a like-themed tune into the upper reaches of the singles charts, all the while being as light musically as the same rapper's "One Call Away."
Split Personality, Cassidy's debut album, arrived just as "Hotel" was peaking, in March of 2004, and debuted at the number two spot on the Billboard album chart. A year later, the MC returned with "I'm a Hustla" more of a return to the block.
In late 2005 Cassidy waa arrested on a number of charges including murder and attempted murder. The victim of the crime Cassidy is accused with is said by some to be a neighborhood rapper Cassidy had words with prior to the shooting, while others say that both were actually friends.
The case is pending.
Through a lyrical perspective Cassidy commands a top spot in the game. His first singles may have turned off a lot of more traditional hip hop fans to his style but just listen to his recorded battles and freestyles and you will quickly hear one of the wittiest minds in rap at work. His cockyness at times conjures flashes of the late great Big L. It would be interesting to see, however, if Cassidy with all his abilities could ever manage to put together a coherent and meaningful record.
