For all y'all thinking that Assault has no diversity: think again. The man has scope and the proof is in this EP. "Sumthin 2 Shake Yo Azz 2(1)" is Assault rapping over a 100bpm strip club slumper. Yep, 100bpm! This might be the first non-Ghettotech beat I've heard from Assault, and it ain't bad. Seriously, when was the last time you heard a house or dance producer flip a hip-hop beat and rap over it AND have the balls to put it out for that matter? He might not be winning any freestyle battles in the near future, but the lyrics here are entertaining and do the job (which is making that ass move!). Flipside catches Assault at the tempo that made him famous. "Bangin The Beat(2)" and "The Rapture(3)" are grade-A Assault weapons for the dancefloor. I'm especially feeling the all instrumental "Rapture" track - real handy for throwing an unexpected accapella over. Includes clean and instrumental version for "Sumthin 2" and a stripped down version(4) of "Bangin The Beat" with just vocals and drums.
