Yet within the all-encompassing scale of the Kanye-verse, Sasco’s contribution to Yeezus was such a footnote that his writer’s credit (listed under his government name, Jeffrey Campbell) was attributed by some outlets to a guy who designs shoes. It’s an unforgettable irruption into an album packed with thrilling moments, largely due to Sasco’s unforgettable voice: a vocal attack that might best be visualized as a river of gravel rendered capable of human speech. To many listeners, veteran dancehall MC (or, deejay, as they would say in Jamaica) Assassin, aka Agent Sasco, may be known solely as the rough baritone bawling “ Action ting, yo a badman ting” on “ I’m in It,” a particularly dark and raunchy LP cut on Kanye West’s 2013 opus Yeezus.
