Cassidy's sophomore studio album, Prince Cassidy, comes as a follow up to his 2016 debut, After Party OT, which featured the #1, “Antonym” and the Ohio Music Awards nominated “Ride”. The sprawling musical opus, which highlights moments in the 25-year-old’s history spanning from early childhood through 2017, is held together by the singer's innate talent for uniting genres into new, hybrid soundscapes.

Prince Cassidy is defined by a revisitation of traditional R&B, Pop, and hip-hop, conventions; Cassidy embraces the world of knocking 808s and the growl and punch of unembellished instrumentals alongside the polished gloss of his trademark croon. The album touts features from Lon6z, Telda Trufe, You.C.La, Jaysea, Go Yeezy and more. In short, the Ohio award nominee can recall his own life story with remarkable clarity. This translates its impact on his present with pragmatism, verity and genuine emotion. We see Sean Cassidy for what he is — a young man growing, progressing, and learning in an ever-changing world that can be capricious and cruel, but also beautiful and filled with warmth.
