Dancehall deejay Assassin has collaborated with American R&B artist Usher for a remix of his hit song "Love In This Club."
Assassin's manager and brother Gareth Campbell told the Jamaica Star how the collaboration happened. "The producer from Jive Records, Mikey B, reached out to us cause he wanted to hear a Jamaican artiste on Usher's new album and they chose Assassin. They contacted us, sent the track and asked us to add a few lines. We sent it back and they loved it."
According to Campbell, Usher's people said that they had always liked Assassin's records and thought it fitting to go alongside Usher.
The original song, Love In This Club, features Young Jeezy and is officially being used to kick off Usher's latest album titled Here I Stand, which is expected to be released this June. According to Campbell, they are unsure whether the remix will be featured on Usher's album, but the response to the song, which was released on Thursday, has been good.
Assassin adds a dancehall vibe to the mainly R&B song. He starts off the song and comes in at intervals deejaying. At one point, Assassin croons "Yuh be looking fine and yuh have on di likkle mini-skirt mi like, so yuh can just mek it ride up, pretend no one besides us," as he tells Usher in the song, "Talk to dem singer!"
In the meantime, Assassin's manager claims that audiences can expect a new Assassin album by late this year or early 2009.
