The name Muggs will not immediately ring a bell with everyone. Yet this hip-hop producer was responsible for a number of big hits, of which Jump Around by The House Of Pain is perhaps the best known. He was also active as producer of Ice Cube but especially of his own band Cypress Hill. As (DJ) Muggs, he then released two episodes of the Soul Assassins project, with guest appearances from many
… well-known rappers, which were well received but did not make the charts. With Dust, Muggs has finally broken free from all musical limitations. With a bit of good will you can describe the music as a mix between trip hop and rock, with more than ever the emphasis on the song. Most striking song is the moody and with a very sing-along chorus equipped Rain, with which Muggs actually seems to have a hit again. (MS)more
