After releasing two well-received mixtapes on his own –
2010′s Mixtape Off To Mars w/ DJ Ill Will
& last year’s Head Of Class -
Cassow steps things up in every category
w/ a fully-realized project consistent in sound, theme & mood,
featuring all original production
& his still patented slick voice & steady-eyed focus.

Still just 21 years old,
Cassow has already garned a fair amount of national attention,
especially for a rapper hailing from Portland, OR -
a city that’s notoriously tough to breakout from its insulated local rap scene,
& the attention has definitely been well earned.
With one of the city’s meanest work ethics,
backed by a deadly honest braggadocio
& a refined ear for the beats that suit him best,
matched w/ an innate sense of just how to approach each of them
(recruiting regional Red Bull Big Tune champ, TROX
to A&R and coordinate the production line-up of the album was a major move as well),
all matched w/ quality visuals that can compete with the best of em -
Cassow is definitely one of the most promising talents in the NW.
