ABOUT LITO MC CASSIDY:
Continuing one of the most influential legacies in Latin hip-hop and reggaeton, Lito MC Cassidy has asserted himself as both an elite lyricist and consummate storyteller since 1998. The Latin GRAMMY® Award-nominated rapper initially rose to popularity as one-half of the game-changing duo Lito y Polaco, bringing a spotlight to the music of his native Puerto Rico in the process. Together, they created a catalog of classics, including Masacrando MC’s [1999], Los Éxitos Vol. 1 [2000], Mundo Frío [2002], and Fuera de Serie [2004]. Along the way, he garnered two Premios Tú Musica Urbano Awards and received a nomination at the Billboard Latin Music Awards. Taking a ten-year hiatus from the game to focus on raising his son, he conserved his energy to return at just the right moment. With his boy’s blessing, he announced his comeback in 2020 and signed a joint venture between his own Lito Music, LLC and BMG. After blasting off with “U.F.O.,” he reached a new plateau altogether. Telling a heartbreaking tale of a woman’s descent into sex work for survival, “La Vendedora de Placer” racked up over 1 million Spotify streams and 1 million YouTube views and garnered his first Latin GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Rap/Hip-Hop Song.” On its heels, “La 23” [feat. Farruko & El Mayor Clasico] raked in 1.6 million Spotify streams. It all set the stage for his anxiously 2021 album, LA JAULA DE LOS VIVOS. Superstars such as Daddy Yankee, DJ Playero, Ñejo, KEVVO, and more jumped at the chance to collaborate, joining a historic supporting cast for this blockbuster. Once again though, his storytelling shines front-and-center fueled by a knockout lyrical crossfire and fiery flows. Lito MC Cassidy’s influence remains eternal now and forever.
