With the recent success of Meek Mill, a significant amount of attention has been brought back to the Philadelphia hip hop scene.

Insisting he would not truly go at the MMG spitter, Cassidy has had choice words for the fellow Philadelphian. Meek Mill and Cassidy have engaged in two Twitter exchanges, which were both high profile.

Appearing on Sway Calloway’s Shade 45 morning show, “Sway in the Morning,” Cassidy said he is the one who runs Philadelphia rap.
