Campbell grew up in Kintyre, St. Andrew before relocating to Kingston.[3] His career began in 1999 when his lyrics were recorded by Spragga Benz as "Shotta";[2] He soon started recording himself, releasing his first single in 2000.[2] He gained the nickname 'Assassin' while at Camperdown High School.[3][4]
He signed to VP Records, and released two albums for the label before switching to Boardhouse Records, which he co-owns and started in 2008.[5][6] His second album, Gully Sit'n, was described as a "celebration of ghetto life".[3]
In the mid-2000s, he started an internet based degree in Business Management from the University of Sunderland.[2] He began using the stage name 'Agent Sasco' as it has more "Googleability" than 'Assassin'.[1] His single "Talk How Mi Feel" reached number one on the Jamaica Countdown Chart in June 2011.[5]
In 2013, he was featured on the song “I’m In It” by American recording artist Kanye West on his 6th solo album, Yeezus.[7]
In February 2015, Assassin was featured on the song "The Blacker the Berry" by Grammy award winner Kendrick Lamar.[8] It was certified gold after selling over 500,000 copies.[9]
On 19 February 2016, he released the album Theory of Reggaetivity.[9]
