Cassidy begins his album with "The Problem vs The Hustla", he takes on two personalities and battles himself, in what is a unique track and a good way to start the album. Cassidy then rips up "I'm a Hustla" sampling Jay-Z vocals (Dirt Off Your Shoulder) love this cut. Next up are two impressive street banger's "On The Grind" and "Crack". The single "B-Boy Stance" follows, more of a club track that I am not really feeling. Cassidy gets back to his hustling with "A.M. to P.M.", lines like "Hop out the bronco and O.J. him" are memorable. The album's first guest appearances come from Nas and Quan who hook up with Cassidy for the smooth "Can't Fade Me", Quan provides a first class chorus, and all three rhyme well. Cassidy then switches things up dropping five tracks for/about the ladies and partying. While there not bad, they don't grab my attention, seen this formula to many times before. Things pick up when Cassidy collabs with two more of Rap's relatively young guns Lil Wayne & Fabolous on "Six Minutes of Death". Cassidy then takes some time aside and enlists Dr. Daniel for "The Message", a track about the challenges of being black, racial and Hip-Hop profiling, incarceration, segregation, and the million man march- Cass and Dr. Daniel kick some knowledge on the albums most conscious track. Mary J Blige is an R & B legend, and the remix to "I'm a Hustla" is off the hook, Blige's singing and chorus enhance an already great track. Cassidy provides an entertaining release with "I'm a Hustla", a must have for his fans and an album I recommend checking out.

Best known for his 2008 collaboration with Phonte on the cult classic "Zo and Tigallo Love the 80's" as well as his work on The Foreign Exchange's Grammy-nominated LP, "Leave It All Behind," 'SunStorm" is an extensive 12-track set that shows the ever-expanding range and depth of Zo! and the entire Foreign Exchange Music family.

Indie soul siren and American Idol vocalist Sy Smith serves up a slice of 70's soul on the breezy "Greatest Weapon Of All Time," and Lady Alma, a Philly veteran and stalwart of the UK house scene, takes it to the dance floor on the frenetic "Free Your Mind." The album's lead single, "This Could Be The Night," features Darien Brockington, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Eric Roberson, and Rapper Big Pooh of Little Brother over a thumping two-step groove specifically intended for the 'steppers' of Zo's native Detroit. Another highlight is the Phonte-assisted "Flight Of The Blackbyrd," Zo's heartfelt homage to the 70's jazz/funk fusion of The Mizell Bros. and George Duke.
