True Hustle
Contributed by AdamBernard:
Jay-Z penned a song where he boasted about being “a hustla, baby.” Cassidy spit venom about the topic on “I’m a Hustla” (coincidentally, using a Jay-Z sample).

Cassidy Ready To Bounce Back
Billboard spoke with Cassidy about his third album, ‘The Barry Adrien Reese Story (B.A.R.S.),’ due September 18th, and some of the adversity he’s faced between releases. “When I was going through problems, from going to jail to the accident, even though I had money, I had power, respect and friends, no one showed up and the only thing that helped me was my faith,” Cassidy said. “I was so worried about what lawyer I was going to hire and what judge will handle my case, but when I read the scripture, which says it’s better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man, I knew I was going to win and get through it with the Lord on my side.” Read more.
