Snoop Dogg Wu Assassins title track

Snoop Dogg‘s ganja-fueled spirit is always looking collaboration with foreign artists and cultures. The doggy dogg aka Snoop Lion has teamed up with Higher Brothers for ‘Friends & Foes’, a cool title track of Netflix original TV series Wu Assassins.

Higher brothers is Chinese hip-hop group consisting of four members MaSiWei, DZKnow, Psy.P, Melo. They rap about Chinese culture in Mandarin and Sichuanese, without attracting censorship from the Red Dragon in Beijing. They also throw in few catchy English phrases. In their hit song ‘Made In China’ one dude raps ‘She lied … she lied … she is all Made In China.’

What are critics saying about Netflix’s Wu Assassins?

Wu Assassins is a new Netflix crime/action drama with super natural elements. An ordinary Chinatown chef becomes an assassin after an encounter with a mystical spirit. Now he has to kick the ass of the Triad, the Chinese equivalent of Mafia, operating in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Why? Because these triad thugs are using super natural powers to destroy the world.

Stunt master Iko Uwais will star as the chef in Wu Assassins and will take on the Triad. He will also double up as the stunt director for the TV show. Wu Assassin is created by John Wirth, Tony Krantz and has Katheryn Winnick, Byron Mann in the leading cast.

All the ten episodes from season one have premiered on Netflix in August 2019. Critics have given the show average ratings. It has 67% fresh rating as of now, with potential to go up.

Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com has said, “Wu Assassin harnesses Uwais’ energy as both a fighter and an actor in an exciting fashion, and creates a giddy opportunity for martial arts awesomeness to flourish.” Merrill Barr of Forbes is very optimistic about the show, “There’s a lot to be hopeful for in Wu Assassins. So, here’s to crossing all the fingers and toes we have that it delivers on that hope when the dust settles on its debut season.” Noah Berlatsky of The Verge has roasted the show saying, “The clichés, plot holes, and stilted dialogue would all be forgivable if there were more fight scenes, and if the show wasn’t so often soaked in its own sodden seriousness.”

While the critics are divided, the fans have given 90+% fresh rating to Wu Assasins. We feel there aren’t many TV shows which have body-combat action scenes which people love in Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies. Wu Assassins is a show that infuses super natural elements into a action packed TV series.

The music video for the Friends & Foes title track gives you a glimpse of Jet Li style of action that is packaged into Wu Assassins. If you can bargain in Chinatown without raising eyebrows, there you can read Friends & Foes lyrics on Genius.
