MTV Shows

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.
