Soul Assassins II was released in October 2000, with features from Kool G. Rap, Dilated Peoples, GZA, Ras Kass and Kurupt. Muggs talked about the projects in the documentary, Soul Assassins Revisited.
"Back in 1997, I was basically a fan of everybody on the records, except some of the newer acts," he explained. "It was a chance to give some of them a platform. Some of the newer acts - this was this first project that they ever had out; like Call O' The Wild and Infamous Mobb. That was their first record.
"I was producing Beastie Boys, Ice Cube, Cypress and KRS-One," he continued. "So Columbia Records was excited to give me a deal for a solo album."
