Hip-Hop Artist Cassidy Releases New Single With Beenie Man (@CASSIDY_LARSINY @KingBeenieMan)

Philly MC Cassidy, who many hip-hop lovers agree is one of the most underrated lyricist in the rap industry, has just released a new single titled “In My Bag.” The hard hitting record is a collaboration done with Jamaican dancehall star Beenie Man. 

On the track, both men lament on their abilities to engage women and make money. Though these subject matters are very cliché in the hip-hop world, it is the way in which the lyrics were delivered that makes “In My Bag” outstanding. On what is considered an authentic hip-hop beat – produced by Platinum Camp Records – Cassidy kicks off the song with the catchy hook: “I’m in my bag watch me; are you in your bag copy.” He then goes into his verse, repeats the chorus and then makes way for Beenie Man.

Special attention must be paid to Beenie Man‘s verse, as it’s not often that a Jamaican dancehall artist gets invited on a hip-hop project and is either able to stand next to his host lyrically, or even out-do him. Beenie Man definitely showed why he is branded as the dancehall king on this rap record.
