DJ Muggs vs Sick Jacken - The Legend of the Mask & The Assassin
The former DJ of Cypress Hill knows how to put it down while emcee Sick Jacken knows how to raise it up. The songs on The Legend feel like a throwback to Company Flow’s Funcrusher Plus lyrically, often dealing with political, theological, and post-apocalyptic themes about consequence. The beats are equally dense, frequently incorporating bits of narration, guitars, thick drums, and whatever else adds to the motif of each song. Muggs proves that he’s still relavant in hip hop with this album.
