DJ MUGGS Vs.SICK JACKEN BRING YOU "LEGEND OF THE MASK AND THE ASSASSIN"
Mixtapekings.com
DJ MUGGS, iconic producer, Angeles Records CEO, Mash up radio personality, pioneer and founder of Hip-Hop super group Cypress Hill, has decided to collaborate with SICK JACKEN of The Psycho Realm, the Los Angeles rap group started in 1989 by brothers Jacken (Jack Gonzalez) and Duke (Gustavo Gonzalez), who have enjoyed a religious fan base that follows Jacken and the group everywhere.
Jacken has taken it a step further and teamed up with DJ Muggs to continue the legacy of influential creative classics with the new album "LEGEND OF THE MASK AND THE ASSASSIN" out on Rebel Music group/ Universal Latin, Jacken's joint venture with Universal Music Latino (August 21st 2007).
The album idea was conceived during a UNITY event, which is the mobile festival, property of the Soul Assassins collective. Jacken's current underground super group Sick Symphonies was an overwhelming hit with the audience and their loyal fans who were wall to wall at the sold out UNITY festival held at the Knitting Factory November 9th 2006.
When asked why he decided to create an album with Jack, Muggs exclaims "Jack is the illest on the West Coast underground right now with a legion of loyal fans second to none in L.A. We have the same music sensibility and same goals to keep the music hardcore. This is what attracted me to the music in the first place. You couldn't sound, look like, or use another artist's style. If you did you were considered wack. Now everybody is cloned from one another and we refuse to fall into that category. This is one of the most original creative albums I've ever been involved in."
The first two singles "Mask and the Assassin" and "El Barrio" which is the Latin crossover single, are hitting the streets Aug 7th.

Hey I just wanted to let you guys know I Love your work all of you from that bad ass CYPRESSHILL AND ALSO SOUL-ASSASSINS I really feel your music homies and always keep it real like you always have done sincerly a.k.a FOBICK.
These two gentlemen are on a mission to bring back what's real in hip hop and rap, while single handedly staying true to hardcore fans that are craving creativity in a time when its more about style then substance. We need more album like the Legend of the Mask & the Assassin to remind us of how when you put a good idea to work you could still make a magical album full of style and substance and still get your messege across .
