 Cassidy - I'm a Hustla Oct 16, 2006
A little over a year after his poorly released debut, Cassidy returns with "I'm a Hustla." With the title track being the first single and sampling Jay-Z, Cass got lots of radio spins yet again. On this album he vows to show he's street side and forget about all those radio friendly tracks that filled his last album. Will Cass live up to his word or go 0-2 with another wack album?

3. On the Grind - 4.5/5

Overall:
66/75
4.5 Stars
Wow this album is very impressive! Cassidy kills every track and even the few ladies tracks are good. He definitely proves he got skills with this album. Check it out for sure if you like street rap mixed with some commercial appeal.
 Personality change! Sep 26, 2006
When Split Personality came out most people thought it was a wrap for Cassidy. Pop rap fans even slammed that album. 2 years later Cassidy returnes with Im A Hustla and improvement is shown. The album starts off with The Problem VS The Hustla where Cassidy disses the pants off himself(no, really). On The Grind, Im A Hustla(first single), Crack, B-Boy Stance(second single) and Get Em are tracks that show what Cassidy should have been doing with his first album. Straight Spittin. Cant Fade Me feat Nas and Quan is dope, laid back collabo. 6 Minutes(feat Fabolous and Lil Wayne) is good even though I didnt like the way Cassidy started out his rhyme on that track. The Message is an earnest attempt at a song of substance and Im A Hustla remix(feat Mary J Blige) is noteable. There are songs that stink though. C-Bonics is hot garbage. A.M To P.M. is just as bad and Kick It With You feat Mario is kind of lame. Other than that this album is pretty good. Its a good thing he put effort into this one because you dont have many chances in this game before you are rendered irrelevant. I would reccommend this album over Split Personality anyday. Standout Tracks:THE PROBLEM VS. THE HUSTLA, IM A HUSTLA, ON THE GRIND, B-BOY STANCE, CANT FADE ME, GET EM, 6 MINUTES, THE MESSAGE and IM A HUSTLA REMIX.

Cassidy - I'm A Hustla Apr 20, 2006
This album is close to a 5/5 but a couple of poor tracks lower it to a 4. Cassidy is not the best mc or lyricist, but hooked up with Swiss Beatz to make a good production with very good beats on this album. "I'm A Hustla", the first single, brought instant attention towards this album which was well deserved. There are a few good calaberations here as well. Overall this was a better output than Cassidy's debut.
top tracks:
1-a.m. to p.m.
2-6 minutes of death (f. lil' wayne & fabolous)
3-kick it wit' you (f. mario)
4-c-bonics
5-on the grind
Getting Closer To His Roots Feb 21, 2006
None of Cassidy's rhymes are necessarily battle rap but more punch lines about nothing really serious to give you a few laughs. He's the type of lyricist to attract more mainstream because of his punch line style and for it he had been crowned king of punch lines for the past few years. Though I'm a hustla is a decent release and finally Cass is coming back to where he belongs this album still lacks a few things. For one he should of used more strict beats to show his lyrical talent and he does do it on tracks like Get 'Em and The Message but he needed more. The Problem Vs. The Hustla is very creative and it's hot that he's letting people know where he wants to be in hip-hop. Truthfully this album may remind you a little bit of Memphis Bleek's The Understanding and I compare the two in the way Bleek's lyrics were good but the production outshined him and it was too commercial and people didn't take to it to well. This is a great release, the punch lines will give you some comedy and something to think about and the beats will give your neighbors something to complain about. The best thing about this album is you can see Cass getting better and going after what he really wants.

Cassidy The Hustla! (3.5) Jan 28, 2006
Cassidy starts the album off with "The Problem vs. The Hustla" where he disses himself (Cassidy the Problem) from his debut album "Split Personality". Cassidy the Hustla disses Cassidy the Problem on his debut claiming he had sold out in order to get more sales and Cassidy the Hustla becomes the champion eliminating the personality of Cassidy the Problem and introducing Cassidy the Hustla. Cassidy the Hustla was all the one we expected rapping on "Split Personality" but we didn't get that but at least we get that now on "I'm A Hustla".
