It’s all about the booty, and Detroit’s ghetto-tech pioneer DJAssault, also a Fresh Jive clothing model, grinds out another one of his raw techno/Miami-bass electro/hip-hop/R&B hybrids that ravers and clubbers have embraced wholeheartedly over the recent years. His primitive drum machine patterns, quirky synth lines, hilariously sexist lyrics and in-your-face ghetto attitude toward bitches and hos will keep your head bobbing while your raunchy side is replenished with nastiness, if you can stomach it. Two different versions have been released: one dirty and one censored. The latter consists mostly of bland instrumentals and complete reworkings. Listening to the former, you may wonder how tracks like "Nipples-N-Clits," "Love the Pussy" and "Nut in Your Eye" are represented on the clean version. On almost every track Assault raps about ass and titties or just straight-up fuckin’. Only Assault would drop a piano ballad peppered with dirty dialogue followed by wet slurping sounds and aggressive moaning and groaning. He’s the kind of guy who’ll never let you forget that "Yo mama, yo daddy, [and] yo sista’s a ho."
