Soul Assassins - Intermission (Album Review)


The Soul Assassins are a group formed in the late 90’s centered by the rap duo Cypress Hill. All of the production by the group is done by Dj Muggs of Cypress Hill. Some of the most notable members of the group are B-Real, Bun-B, La Coka Nostra, GZA, RZA, Sick Jacken, Reef the Lost Cause, and Outer Space, but there are many others. Despite the extensive member list of the group, there is no shortage of talented artists. This new album Intermission is their 3rd studio album following an 8 year hiatus. This album certainly had the potential to be excellent, as does anything Dj Muggs produces. But, as you might expect from a group composed of vastly different artists connected by loose affiliations; this album came out scattered and directionless. Don’t get me wrong, this album bumps hard, but it just does not work well as an album. It just seems more like a DJ Muggs Mixtape than anything else. For the most part the production was creative and original but, some of the cuts on here just came out badly. Considering Dj Muggs’s track record this was surprising. Most of the tracks on this are full of aggressive lyrics from talented and underappreciated artists. My three favorites on this are Gangsta Shit, Figure it Out, and Rep Yo Shit. The other standouts are Intermission, Gunshots, Classical, and Do It. The rest of the tracks ranged from mediocre to terrible. Although there are some great songs on here, the mid and low points of this album bring down what should have been a potentially amazing album. I give it a 3.5/5.

01 - Gangsta Shit feat Bun B + M1
02 - Classical feat Sick Jacken & Evidence
03 - Gunshots - feat Chace Infinite & Alchemist
04 - Do It feat La Coka Nostra
