      *Rapper Cassidy recently regained consciousness after being hospitalized for injuries suffered in a car crash.      

      The Philadelphia-based artist, whose real name is Barry Reese, suffered a fractured skull and multiple broken bones in his face. According to Allhiphop.com, doctors have performed CAT scans and so far, have found no abnormalities with his brain activity.     

      "He went through a large trauma that would have taken the life of less healthy people," Cassidy's attorney Simon Rosen told AllHipHop.com. "He was in good health before the accident. Everybody has supported him from all over the world. The fraternalism of the hip-hop community isn't going to make headlines, but there are a lot of people that have banned together from the hip-hop community to support Cassidy. It's not all about negativity."

      As previously reported, the 24-year-old MC was on his way to a recording studio in Yonkers, NY last Thursday (Oct. 5) when the SUV in which he was riding was struck by a truck driven by 36-year-old Javier Trujillo Gonzalez of Carson City, MI.     

      Police issued Gonzalez a summons for making an improper turn. He reportedly ran a red light and crossed into an intersection to broadside the SUV, a Chevy Suburban carrying Cassidy and three other passengers.
