Barry “Cassidy” Reese surrendered to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania authorities earlier today (June 17) and was charged with homicide, conspiracy and weapons violations.
The rapper, known for hits like “Hotel” featuring R. Kelly and his most recent hit, “I’m A Hustla,” is accused of being one of three men that shot and killed a 22-year-old man in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia.

Police allege Cassidy, 22, was one of three men who shot up a car in a driveway on a street, dicing the car with bullets and wounding the three occupants, whom police said were unarmed.

The three wounded men were taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center, where Desmond Hawkins, 22, was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the back.

Police said that an argument was at the root of the shooting and that all of the men were acquainted with each other and that the dispute did not involve drugs.

An arrest warrant was issued for the rapper June 8. Cassidy’s lawyer said that his client was innocent and was not involved with the shooting.

"The allegations are not true," Cassidy’s lawyer Michael Giampietro told the Philadelphia Daily News. "The evidence will show he was not involved in the shooting."

As of press time, police were still seeking Abdul West, 23, and another unidentified man in relation to the shooting.

The shooting comes just as the Cassidy is preparing for the June 28 release of his sophomore album, I'm A Hustla.

thugging rap music sucks... nothing "str8" about it and the word "str8" makes me laugh.

Yep... And really, i dont care what anyone says, hardcore rap doesnt take any talent. If you listen to a hardcore rap song thats been edited, whats left? Some rap takes talent, but alot of it doesnt. And in "Cassidys" case, it wont matter if he has talent or not if hes sitting in jail.
