Footage of Cassidy giving the crowd an original off the top freestyle at this year’s Philly Hip Hop Awards. You ever wonder if these rappers are really freestyling these rhymes or just reciting written’s? And if so, why not just work on becoming better at freestyling? Just a thought. Nevertheless, lyrically, yes and the wordplay is on point, good show by Cassidy.

Unless you’re out on the West Coast, you may not be aware of the buzz Problem is generating with this new number titled “Last Love.” The rap singer tries to smooth things over with lady friend by giving piece of mind that she shouldn’t be trippin’ on past lovers over the soothing production of The Futuristiks. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for Problem’s upcoming project, Plan B, as well as a video for this joint. You can purchase the song as a single via iTunes.
