One of Jamaica’s most underrated lyricists, Assassin A.K.A. Agent Sasco releases his first studio album in nearly a decade.
In a transition from dancehall, the artist turns his multitalented hand to releasing a completely reggae album called “Theory of Reggaetivity.” With guest appearances from Chronixx and Australian singer Elesia Iimura, Assassin — born Jeffrey Campbell — takes on topics such as achievement, struggle and love with his new album.
Setting fire from the top, the performer examines the birthmarks of reggae with a modern twist on the title track. It’s followed by “What is Reggae” and “Reggae Origin,” where he simply questions, “Where did it all start? Where did it begin?”
Delivering lyrical precision, Assassin brings humor and energy with “Mix Up,” praises the Motherland in fine style with “Africa” and sends a message of perseverance on “Stronger.”
