Soul Assassins: Dia del Asesinato
DJ Muggs
Soul Assassins Records
Though he may be best known as the longtime DJ/producer of Southern California hip-hop legend Cypress Hill, DJ Muggs has also been releasing a steady stream of solo and collaborative records since the late ’90s. His most recent release, Soul Assassins: Dia del Asesinato, is one of his best albums yet and finds the seasoned producer colluding with a slew of veteran MCs including Raekwon, Kool G Rap, MF DOOM and several others to great effect. Loaded up with the old school, aggressive, bass-heavy beats that Muggs built his career on, the record will impress old and young hip-hop fans alike. (Simon Weedn)
