"dj muggs has been one of the most underrated producers in hip hop since cypress came out with their first disc. with this cd he showcases his ability to make his tracks fit the artist. with a slew of some of todays best mcs from the west, east and south, u cant go wrong. songs that stand out are goodie mobs decision, decisions which comes across with a positive message, especiall cee-lo's verse. the rza and gza spit hot lyrics over an amped up beat and wu-affiliate la the darkman comes with a bangin song of his own. mobb deep and infamous mobb deliver hot tracks as usual and call of da wild, though ive never heard of him before has a nice little song also. wyclef ends the album on a positive note with his song john 3:16. this album is not like your average cypress hill album, it is a nicely put together and talented hip hop collective that deserves some recognition"

"Longtime D.J. and producer of Cypress Hill, Muggs stepped out for a solo project to work with various artists on a compilation entitled The Soul Assassins, Chapter I. This twelve track release was all produced by Muggs himself with an East Coast feel. Each track were tailored for each artist and not done sporadically. For the newcomers La The Darkman's "Devil In A Blue Dress" is simple enough to compliment the anti-thug lyrics. Opposite that, "Life Is Tragic" by Infamous Mobb over a violin loops for these Queens-bridge emcees / rapper for combat. Muggs funk loop with an almost muted drum track for Call O' Da Wild's "New York Undercover". Dr. Dre & B Real teamed up for the loud sample "Puppet Master" that was a good collaboration for the West Coast. Other artist on here has all original material that cannot be found on their albums. Fans of these artists and hip-hop / rap lovers will appreciate Muggs' effort."
