Soon after those tweets he leaked this track called “You So Phony” going in on many fake cats in the music industry. Cassidy hasn’t lost a step in terms of pure talent & I never get tired hearing Cass rap with the crazy metaphors & punchlines, but in this new era people care less about how ill you are on the mic as compared to if you’re if your THAT dude with the hit song on the radio who’s on top regardless of skill.
