Dancehall Artiste Assassin - Infiltration Review
Infiltration kicks off with a bang as Assassin unleashes some of his biggest hit singles from his arsenal like As A Man, Idiot Thing and Don't Like You. So after all that partying with those well-knowns, he introduces a few of his latest singles like In Da Club, I'm A Hustla, We Dem Want.
The album then goes into a whole other direction with a future hit, Free At Last he shines on the track produced by Christopher Birch. The next single, Let Me Know features the R&B songstress, Syleena Johnson where even with Syleena's sultry vocals and Assassin keeping it real Jamaican, it comes across as a bit corny.
Assassin picks up those broken pieces and moves on with the ever popular, Girls Gone Wild. And then he demands respect as he spits fire over the military rhythm with Step Pon Dem. Gangsta City is a tune that is guaranteed to be a 'gangstas' anthem for a good while.
The album then tapers down with tunes like Dem, Hot, Wandering Mind, Youths Well Cold (featuring Freddie McGregor), Big Mix (featuring Red Square) and the grand finale, Respect Due.
Overall, the album is just a fast paced record where Assassin does what he does best over beats produced by talented producers like Steely and Clevie, Delano Thomas, Omar Clennon, Tony "CD" Kelly and Richard "Richie D" Martin. Executive producers for the album are Christopher Chin and Donovan Germain.
