Rare Random Rap from 1988, coming out of Oakland, CA. One of the first Bay Area rap records with a female MC, Cassidine brings it hardcore and comes with the trunk rattling sounds that early Too Short productions are known for. Produced by Dean Hodges and Kenneth "Hollywood" Houston for 75 Girls Productions, the same label as Too Short put out his first few classic records on. Definately a part of Bay Area Rap history, don't sleep!

Here's a quick bio:''CasiDine'' (-real name) is a rapper from the Bay Area, California. She was the first female emcee in the Bay Area to rise to prominence. Originally a part of Oakland's "The Def Crew" alongside her deejay "Jimmie Jam" and rapping partner Miss Rapp Machine, she forged a reputation as a strong emcee with impressive freestyle and battle skills honed on the streets. She was picked up by 75 Girls Records and Tapes, spearheaded by Dean Hodges, and released an album in 1988 titled "ManHandler", with notable tracks "Pimpin Ain't Easy (But the Girls' Got It Down)", "Yeah Bitch- I'm CasiDine", and the sexy hit "SheDaddy"- the first shockingly erotic rap on record. CasiDine, along with labelmate "Kimmie Fresh", were honored in San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts' Bay Area Hip Hop Hall of Fame show, for being the pioneer women emcees in the Bay Area.

All items are original pressings unless otherwise noted. I use a fairly standard grading system as follows:

Mint: Truly unplayed, almost always reserved for records that are in new condition and have clearly not been played more than twice.
NM-: Very clean copy, no scratches, visibly near perfect. Only wear may be due to age or storage.
VG+: Great play copy, noise is only apparent in very quiet sections of a record. Marks are superficial, not able to be felt. This spans a large range, but all VG+ copies are perfectly playable and sound great.
VG: Has some marks, and may play with some noise that may be bothersome to some. Very listenable and playable with no skips when I play it. Only used for records whose rarity warrants it.
