solo debut Season of the Assassin last week. At present the album is planned for June 22 release and features appearances from The Clipse, Paul Wall, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Ill Bill, and R.A. The Rugged Man. Additionally, Vinnie recruited production from Da Beatminerz, Lord Finesse, DJ Muggs, Madlib, MoSS, and M.O.P.'s Lil Fame. "I'm really happy with how that came out," said Vinnie, who also has 2010 releases line up for Outerspace, and fellow JMT artists Stoupe and Jus Allah (Meanest Man Alive).

Speaking of Bill, Vinnie and the former Non Phixion emcee and producer are presently at work on a collaborative album. "Me and Ill Bill are 23 songs into the Heavy Metal Kings record, and we don't even feel like we're halfway done," said the Philly emcee.
