About
A TAV Curator's Pick.
On The Soul Assassins Chapter 1, producer DJ Muggs assembled a hard-hitting album that combined a murderer’s row of hip-hop icons with Muggs’ laid-back, West Coast beats. With verses from Cypress Hill, Dr. Dre, RZA, GZA, Goodie Mob, KRS-One, Mobb Deep, Wyclef Jean and more, The Soul Assassins Chapter 1 is a one of a kind hip-hop touchstone. It’s being reissued for its 20th anniversary as a 12” picture disc featuring the original album’s striking cover illustration and logo. – Press Release
