Shogun Assason – Tha Grind: Bad Brakes = Friction

Originally released as a digital-only mixtape, Tha Grind (Bad Brakes = Friction) marked a major moment in Shogun Assason’s career. Known for dropping razor-sharp verses on classic Killarmy projects, this mixtape was his long-overdue solo debut—17 tracks deep and mixed by DJ Swift. Featuring raw, grimey production and appearances from Frukwan and Shabazz The Disciple, it quickly became a cult favorite among Wu-Tang and Killarmy fans. Now, for the first time ever, Tha Grind receives its long-awaited physical release, making this a must-have for collectors and fans of the Wu-affiliated underground. credits releases June 20, 2025 Executively Produced by Shogun Assason Hosted By – Dj Swift Mixed By – Dj Swift Producer – 4th Disciple (tracks: 10, 12), Alchemist (tracks: 7), Falling Down (tracks: 11), Dj Swift (tracks: 1, 2), Shogun (tracks: 3, 5, 8, 9, 13 to 15), Tha Trickaz (tracks: 6), True Master (tracks: 4) Remastered by Shaka Amazulu The 7th Design – Tea Designs
