Marvin Sparks speaks with Agent Sasco (formerly known as Assassin) about experiences that shaped the man who makes the new album, Hope River.

Sasco shares valuable lessons learnt growing up in Kintyre with his mother, his changed opinion on current dancehall music, responds to claims uncredited Kendrick and Kanye features were exploitation and whether dancehall even needs major co-signs. He also tells why he let his kids use social media, how it helps and how his music is influenced by them.

Last time we spoke, he was Assassin aka Agent Sasco, now he is Agent Sasco. Also, last time he was on no long talk, he hadn't released an album in 10 years. Now he has released two in three years. Lastly, at the end of our previous interview, I suggested he worked with Kabaka Pyramid. The two have worked on this one.
