El Paso emcee Assasin the General returns with “When The Pen Bleeds Book 2,” a project shaped by patience, pressure, and intent. Back in February 2025, he introduced the series with Book 1 of 2, delivering a raw and personal body of work that immediately let listeners know his story was far from complete.
Since then, anticipation for the follow-up has continued to build. “When The Pen Bleeds Book 2” finds Assasin the General using his voice to represent his heritage and the culture that raised him. With the foundation firmly in place, this second installment feels less like a continuation and more like a declaration, showcasing growth, confidence, and an artist fully committed to his pen and craft.
The album opens with “Zero Enemies,” produced by Katsuro Beats, a track that immediately sets the tone. Over the atmospheric production, Assasin the General draws a clear line between music and street politics, making it known that one exists as expression and entertainment, while the other carries very real and lasting consequences.
“Finely Dun Interlude,” produced by V-Sine Beatz with cuts by DJ Flipcyide, taps straight into the essence of the art form. Flipcyide’s precise cuts during the hook channel a heavy ’90s energy, instantly transporting listeners to an era where technique and turntable mastery mattered just as much as the bars. The track carries that park jam, live-and-in-your-face vibe that defined hip-hop’s most electric moments.
Assasin the General leans fully into the atmosphere, delivering unfiltered, sharp rawness. It’s the kind of performance that turns heads on first listen and reminds listeners that authenticity and presence can still move the crowd.
Another standout record on the project is “Street VooDoo,” produced by Katsuro Beats and featuring Kayo597 alongside DJ Marc X. The track highlights Assasin the General’s ability to collaborate effectively, resulting in a cohesive record built on a well-structured foundation. Each element feels intentional, allowing the song to move with clarity and balance.
Both Assasin the General and Kayo597 glide effortlessly over the gritty soundscape, delivering performances that complement one another while still standing on their own. The chemistry between the two emcees ensures the track leaves a lasting impression, reinforcing its place as a key moment on the album.
