Cassidy changes album title to I'm A Hustla

HIPHOPSITE.COM — BY CHRISTOPHER "SCAV" YUSCAVAGE

"Cassidy, who caught some alleged subliminal heat from Jay-Z recently for his "You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song" lyric in his Jay-Z sampled "I'm A Hustler," has changed the title of his upcoming album to fit the occasion. Cassidy also caught the wrath of 50 Cent, who called him out during the Funkmaster Flex portion of his Game tirade, stating that "he's heard about things that Cassidy is saying behind the scenes." Nonetheless, Cassidy has changed his sophomore album title from Personality Change to I'm A Hustla, and the lead single, "I'm A Hustla," has a remix due out soon featuring Mary J. Blige. The video for "I'm A Hustla" is due out shortly as well, and clips of the song appear in a new Reebok commercial in anticipation of Jay-Z's basketball sneaker. – Christopher "Scav" Yuscavage"
