DJ Cassidy: From ‘Pass the Mic’ Sensation to Spinning Hits at Jay Z and Beyoncé’s Wedding

During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the highlights for many was the DJ Cassidy "Pass the Mic" event. This cool showcase brought together legendary figures from hip hop and R&B, giving us all the feels of the good ol' days. The "Pass The Mic Live!" series hit up big TV events like the Soul Train Awards and BET Awards, bringing out icons like Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Nile Rodgers. They even had hip-hop OGs like Melle Mel, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Salt-N-Pepa, Big Daddy Kane, Method Man, Redman, and Remy Ma, plus vocal powerhouses like Gloria Gaynor, Jody Watley, Kelly Rowland, and reggae stars such as Shaggy, Super Cat, and Sean Paul. With a stellar lineup of 220 artists celebrating 40 years of epic music, these performances racked up over 54 million views on YouTube!

Digging into DJ Cassidy's career shows off some serious highlights that prove he's a big deal in the entertainment scene. Bringing all these big names for "Pass the Mic," scoring a Vegas gig at Planet Hollywood, and throwing down with top artists really show his skills. Lately, DJ Cassidy took his "Pass The Mic Live!" series to Vegas, jamming with top-tier acts from hip-hop culture. Running the show with Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Slick Rick, and Doug E. Fresh, DJ Cassidy put on a show to remember with guests like Public Enemy, Akon, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, Too $hort, and Warren G. This mix of classic hits had fans buzzing for six epic nights, leaving a mark.

Stepping into the Democratic National Convention, DJ Cassidy set the stage for a killer roll call playlist, with each song repping a state at the DNC. Getting picked by Vice President Kamala Harris and her crew to make this musical magic happen shows how he rolls. DJ Cassidy's mad skills as a DJ shine in his smooth blend of different music vibes and eras, making him a hot ticket for events of all sizes, including the Obamas' bash.

A major career high for DJ Cassidy was spinning tracks at Jay Z and Beyoncé's wedding, a standout moment in many folks' books. His chat on "Drink Champs" spills the tea on this gig. Beyond his DJ chops, DJ Cassidy has dropped hit albums like "Paradise Royale" and "Make The World Go Round," with his tracks featured in hit TV shows and flicks, sealing his rep as top tier in the music game. Despite all the accolades what I love most about DJ Cassidy is his humility and dedication to his craft. 

Playing harmless office pranks can have several benefits for workplace morale and culture when done appropriately! My current workplace is constantly trying to "out -prank" each other and the shenanigans reach epic proportions. It's inspiring really. But it turns out, pranking is the way to go for a happy and healthy working environment. Some benefits to this practice include:

However, it's crucial that any pranks follow ground rules to keep things appropriate for the workplace:

- No damaging property

- No major disruptions to work

- No causing injuries

- Only prank those who enjoy it

- Avoid anything discriminatory or crossing lines

When used judiciously, clever and harmless pranks can meaningfully improve office culture and employee satisfaction. The key is moderation and knowing your audience!

Place labels that say "Voice Activated [Device Name]" on commonly used office equipment like the coffee machine, microwave, copier, and printer. Then sit back and watch as your coworkers try to operate them with voice commands. 

For wired mice, simply unplug them. For wireless mice, place a small piece of tape over the sensor on the bottom to render them inoperable. Watch as your coworkers struggle to figure out why their mouse suddenly stopped working.

Whenever a coworker steps away from their desk, change their desktop background image to something funny or unexpected. Deny any knowledge of how it happened when they ask.

Place action figures, LEGO minifigs, or other small toys around a coworker's desk and workspace when they're not around. The more the merrier!

Dip onions in caramel (and optionally red food coloring), put in popsicle sticks, and leave them out for unsuspecting coworkers to bite into, expecting a sweet treat.

Print out a large enthusiastic photo of Nicolas Cage and attach it under the toilet seat for a startling bathroom break.

Attach an airhorn behind a door so it blasts whenever someone opens it. Perfect for getting everyone's attention when entering a meeting.

Leave cryptic post-it notes on coworkers' desks telling them to urgently call another colleague about an "evaluation" or "meeting". Hilarity ensues as confusion spreads.

Add googly eyes to a coworker's baby photos on their desk or to everything in the office fridge for a silly surprise.

Individually wrap a coworker's desk items, from their chair to paper clips, while they're out. Unwrapping will keep them busy for a while!
