DJ Cassidy’s ‘Pass The Mic’ Gets Deal with BET Networks
The popular DJ is bringing ‘Pass The Mic’ to BET for six episodes!
Timbaland and Swizz Beatz’s ‘Verzuz’ and DJ Cassidy’s ‘Pass the Mic’ are without a doubt, two of the best things to come out of last year’s quarantine. Cassidy’s all-star party of some of the biggest R&B and Hip-Hop artists from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, has landed him a deal with BET NETWORKS for six ‘Pass the Mic’ specials to follow the network’s annual awards shows and other major events through 2021.
The popular DJ shared exclusively with Variety, “I’ll continue to be celebrating my musical heroes of the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s through their iconic records of all eras and genres. I grew up watching BET, and I was exposed to many, if not all, of my musical heroes through watching their music videos on ‘Video Soul,’ ‘Rap City’ or their many other shows. So, to partner with the network to bring ‘Pass the Mic’ to the next level and to a wider audience is really a surreal experience.”
“There is really a wealth of iconic R&B and hip-hop music that came out between the ‘70s and the ‘90s, and it’s that music and those artists that really gave me life, gave me inspiration, gave me style, gave me a signature sound. So, six episodes? Piece of cake.” – DJ Cassidy to Variety
