[edit] Making of the album

Cassidy recorded the Split Personality album in 2003. The record is divided into three parts. The first part is credited to Cassidy and reflects his pop side, the second part, (credited as "Tha Problem"), is directed to his fans of his mixtapes, and the third is credited to B. Reese from fans from his early days. [1]

Cassidy recorded the track and lead single "Hotel" with R. Kelly in Kelly's Chicago studios with a vocal contribution by Kelly - there is also a version featuring vocals by Trina.

[edit] Chart success

"Hotel" became a hit reaching the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2004 and the top 5 of the UK charts in May 2004. The song has also reached the Australian top 40 in late May 2004.

Split Personality was released on March 16, 2004 and debuted at #2 of the Billboard 200 album charts and at #1 in the R&B/Hip Hop albums charts. The second single "Get No Better" featured a contribution from labelmate Mashonda did not do as well on the singles charts reaching #82 on the Billboard Hot 100.

[edit] Critical response

The All Music Guide described the album as "a minor disappointment while simultaneously showing promise". Its review considered the first third of the album as the disappointing section. It considered the best tracks as "Hotel", "Can I Talk to You" and "Real Talk".
