I'm a Hustla is Cassidy's second album and is considered to his fans as his best work to date. It includes the singles "I'm a Hustla" and "B-Boy Stance". It debuted at #5 on the U.S. Billboard 200, with 93,000 copies sold in the first week. The album's title track features a sample from Jay-Z's "Dirt off Your Shoulder" and the song was nominated for a Vibe Award in the category Street Anthem.[1] A remix featuring Mary J. Blige followed soon after. In 2006, the ringtone version of his track I'm a Hustla was one of the first-ever ringtones to be certified platinum.[2]
