- story Felipe Delerme
We heard Mavado was on the cover of another magazine this month and it left us a little confused. The man has voiced arguably the two strongest dancehall albums of the past three years and upheld a continuous onslaught of tunes both vicious and sweet for the last four and now you choose to honor him?

Freeload: Assassin, “Money” (Work Out Riddim)
- story THE FADER
We profiled dancehall producer Stephen “di genius” McGregor back in Issue 48 in our Beat Construction section, detailing his rise from son of Freddie to teenage riddim killer, and even projecting that his relationship with Sean Paul might launch him into the big time. SP is on McGregor’s new “Work Out” riddim, but it’s Assassin who really gets it with his “Money” version. Read the story after the jump and head over to McGregor’s MySpace to get the equally new “Overcome” before we put it up here and freak out some more over Mavado.
