Sassidy

The first MC of significance supported by Swizz Beatz's J-affiliated Full Surface 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.

Cassidy embarked on his musical career as a freestyle and battle rapper, later earning a record deal in 2002, with Ruff Ryders and Full Surface Records. Cassidy is perhaps best known for his singles 'Hotel', 'Get No Better', 'I'm a Hustla', 'B-Boy Stance' and 'My Drink n My 2 Step'. Split Personality, Cassidy's debut album, arrived in March 2004 and debuted at the number two spot on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. The following year, Cassidy returned with I'm a Hustla. After being seriously injured in a vehicle accident in October 2006 and suffering from amnesia, Cassidy made a comeback with 2007's B.A.R.S. The Barry Adrian Reese Story.
