Cassidy

Philadelphia's Cassidy is the quintessential rapper's rapper, capable of producing jaw-dropping verses rife with dizzying internal rhymes, clever punch lines and knowing references to hip-hop's history. Despite having put time in on venerable hip-hop goofball Swizz Beatz's label, Cassidy never translated his raw talent into commercial success. Recently he's found an unlikely home on NBA star Carmelo Anthony's Kross Over Entertainment label.
