Larsiny is an American hip hop group from North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rapper Cassidy formed the group in the late 1990s with hometown natives Akbar (Rodney Jean-Jacques) and Shiz Lansky (Sean Lassiter). They first signed with the Ruff Ryders Entertainment-subsidiary label TD Entertainment by 2000, and were subsequently featured on the song "Ryde Or Die Boyz" from the Ruff Ryders Ryde or Die Vol. 2 (2000) compilation album. AR-Ab later joined the group in 2005, while Lansky was featured the song "I Pray" from Cassidy's B.A.R.S. The Barry Adrian Reese Story (2010) album.[1]
History[edit]
2000–2007: Full Surface[edit]
Larsiny (then consisting of Shiz Lansky, Akbar, and Cassidy) was discovered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by Swizz Beatz's father Terrence Dean, and in turn, the group signed to the Ruff Ryders-subsidiary label TD Entertainment. Their breakout appearance was on the song "Ryde Or Die Boyz" from Ryde or Die Vol.2 in 2000. Members Shiz Lansky and Cassidy help co-write Eve's single "Got It All" from the album as well.
In 2003, AR-Ab was added to the group due to his affiliation with Cassidy.
The group has released two mixtapes: Put Ya L's In The Sky; released on January 4, 2008; and the second, 100 Bars Mixtape (a.k.a. North Philly of Death) released on April 19, 2009.
2008–2009: Quarrels[edit]
In 2008, there was a beef brewing between Cassidy and Akbar that came to public attention. By February 2009, various clips of Akbar dissing Cassidy appeared on YouTube, resulting in a response track on Cassidy's Apply Pressure (2009) mixtape called "Dear Rodney (Akbar Diss)" and also Akbar's departure from Larsiny.
2009–present: Kross Over Entertainment[edit]
Cassidy took his Larsiny Family label over to Kross Over Entertainment and E1 Music with him, and released his fourth studio album C.A.S.H. (2010.[2][3]
