For Your Consideration, A Hip Hop Album By P. CASSO has been a taxing journey for the man known around New York City as the “Earth Tone King.”

With an eclectic taste in music, P.SSO’s music has allowed him to see crowds all over, from the U.S. to Germany to Switzerland, where he has opened for the likes of Kurtis Blow and has performed with underground staples such as Skyzoo, Eyedea & Abilities, Tanya Morgan and Fresh Daily.

Forever displaying a hunger and passion on stage, P. CASSO has the ear of the people and the minds of the forward thinking.
