Basically, a series of conversations conducted by someone of Jamaican heritage/culture, born-and-raised in London (UK) community/culture and child of the nineties who's walking road wondering why. Convos I've always wanted to hear. The ultimate aim is a place to share stories that matter over stories that sell. History is written by victors. But what about the survivors? Anyway, not sure what else to say. The stories sell themselves. Stay locked. Temp email itsnolongtalk@gmail.com

no long talk with Assassin aka Agent Sasco. After a two-parter with Kabaka Pyramid, this is a very short one in comparison.
I wanted to know about growing up in a one room, board house (house made with board) with his family and lessons learnt.
- sound system beginnings, ghostwriting for one of his childhood icons, Spragga Benz.
- shares the stories behind "Ruffest", "Anywhere We Go" and "Do It If Ya Bad" (aimed at Vybz Kartel).
- taking time out of blossoming career to get a degree.
If there's one area I feel Assassin isn't strong at, it's the chorus. However, this year saw him deliver a world class one for Kendrick Lamar on "Blacker The Berry". I ask if that was meant to be a verse to which he replies with the verse he actually demoed.
Having been a fan of Assassin from the top end of the noughties, many feel he hasn't delivered on his early promise or is under-rated. I suggest it's because he isn't the badman or the gallis. Also why he hasn't dropped a definitive body of work.
So yeah, stay locked. This ain't a catch-up, it's no long talk.
(p.s. I said We Bad From was on Mad Instruments. The popular version was mixed on to it. The original is a different riddim.)
