Cassidy Speaks About His New Mixtape “Apply Pressure 2″ And His Upcoming Album “C.A.S.H.” With MTV
MTV Reports: On Monday, we brought you info from the great Bun B and his journey to tear a hole in every beat he raps on this year. Uncle Bun wants his name next to dozens and dozens of songs this year, whether it’s original material, freestyles or guest spots. Another MC known for knocking the lining out of a beat is Philly’s Cassidy. Cass has been jumping on a slew of instrumentals, from Jay-Z’s “On to the Next One” to Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C.”
“I wasn’t going to touch it,” Cass told us about getting on Electronica’s instant classic. “I heard so many radio DJs talking about it, and they talking like Jay Electronica was saving hip-hop with that record, so I said, ‘I gotta get up on that joint.’ I’m pretty much jumping on everything that’s hot. I’m saturating the game, really trying to make people suffocate. … I wanted to get the mixtape market in a frenzy, to let them know I’m coming back.”
Cass’ new mixtape, Apply Pressure 2, is tentatively due February 5.

Video: Swizz Beats x Dame Dash @ DD172
GALLERY @ DD172: SWIZZ BEATZ from Creative Control on Vimeo.
Swizz Beats stops by the DD172 complex to see his old buddy Dame Dash and talk about art, owning it as well as Swizzy’s own art. Just thumbing through his Twitpic account, he does seem to have some crazy Keith Harings, Basquiats and he mentioned something about Warhols in the interview. No shots, but all I could think of while he was trying to sound sophisticated about art was that Ruff Ryders bandana that was wrapped around his face in that nostalgia pic he threw up last week while he was working on “Stranded” with Jay. Speaking of which, Russell Simmons wants you to know that Swizz Beats is Haiti’s Unsung Hero.

Little Brother To Release Leftback on April 20th
“I didn’t want our last record to be a bunch of second-rate material,” says Phonte. “I wanted to walk away from Little Brother knowing that I gave our fans all that I had to give, and said everything I wanted to say. With LeftBack, I’ve done that.”There will be four videos dropping with this album, which is a step up from the one official video they have in their 3 album/3 mixtape spanning career. The DVD that drops with the album will include recent tour footage along with Little Brother footage that they shot and archived throughout their career.
For those that miss the initial run of albums that come with the DVD, there will be a DVD sold separately that will include all four videos that accompany the album.

Video: Skillz - 09 Rap Up
Directed by Derek Pike, who had this to say about the shoot:
Last week I did the Skillz “09 Rap Up” video. In this record Skillz references to many different people and events that were in the media this past year, so the challenge with this video was coming up with a concept that would tie everything together. I felt that creating a “Skillz” gossip magazine would make a lot of sense for this. Despite the cold, and a parking ticket the shoot went smoothly.

Ruff Ryders Reunion LP Coming Soon
“We got a couple of nice joints. It’s gonna be a mixture of the old and new… we got this joint called “Family.” We got a remix on it too and we want to launch the compilation with that. It’s expressing a lot of how families should move and how they should roll…We’re gonna feature our established artists, new artists and we’re gonna remix it and just really unify the family thing, bring back the foundation. We have collaborations songs that we did with The Lox and Cassidy and we get a song from each artist and let them express themselves. I’s gonna be a decent album, we’re gonna do that one independent and we may even take it upstairs (to major label) to do that on a whole other level. This album is really going to be about coming together.”
