Note:

I can’t think of an album in recent memory that was this long that maintained this much consistency as does God’s Will from William Cooper. When listening to this album you will notice a cohesiveness you typically don’t associate with a project of this length. In my mind that’s just one of the things that makes this album special. There are so many individual components that contribute to making this album a must listen so let’s take a look at some of those finer points.

G dot & Born – God Vibes (ft. Planet Asia) (Produced by Ben Hedibi) (Video)

First off, producer Ben Hadibi laced a straight banger for the trio of emcees to spit over. It’s got a smooth, stalking style yet still snaps the neck. At the same time G dot and Born and Planet Asia each drop some sensational bars for the masses. This cut is definitely a major win for hip hop.

Born Allah & Erule – Classick (ft. Planet Asia) (Video)

West Coast legends Born Allah, Erule, and Planet Asia connect on the appropriately titled cut, Classick. These emcees are some of the originators of this classic hip hop sound and have represented the Left Coast more than appropriately throughout the years. Enjoy this cut and cross your fingers that there’s more music left to hear! (This is the remix version of the track produced by Longevity)

Single You Out: Planet Asia x Tzarizm – All Jokes Aside

Good gravy! This beat from Tzarizm is unbelievably fresh. I love the guitar samples lay over the drums. It’s a nice change of pace to hear Planet Asia flow over something this unique. All Jokes Aside is just a taste of what’s to come off of their collaborative album, Via Satellite.

Top 50 Songs (2013)

Disclaimer: It is hard and challenging to pick 50 tracks from the thousands upon thousands that dropped this year. It is merely an attempt to list my favorite cuts of 2012. Click the links to listen to the song! I think it’s a great list. There were a lot of great songs crafted this year and I know I left off some good ones. I listened to 5,000+ tracks from 2012 alone this year, so as an artist, if you made this list you know you are on the forefront of my iTunes!

1. Said Before – Goldini Bagwell

2. Rhyme Of The Year – Nino Bless

3. Believers – Mayday

4. Outlive, Outshine – Theo3

Planet Asia & Ras Kass – Kings (prod. by Numonics) (Video)

Two west coast legends (yes, legends) link up for this video single for the cut Kings. The production is handled by one of the most consistent beatsmiths currently doing his thing, Numonics. I love the beat, the lyrics, and the video concept. The wooden throne up in the club is very fitting. Ras Kass kills me with this line:

I cruxcify rappers, give em’ Calvary pain / Like Christ, y’all ni%$as suffer til our salary change

That was vintage Ras Kass. This cut can be found on J57 and Numonics joint venture, LI FTW, which is slated to drop…not soon enough.

Single You Out: Almighty – High Price Shots (ft. Vinnie Paz, Bronze Nazareth, Canibus & Planet Asia)

The Almighty is back with a new line up but with the same lyrical potency. It’s a pretty diverse group of emcees with Vinnie Paz, Bronze Nazareth, Canibus, and Planet Asia teaming up but it comes together pretty cohesive.

The new album, The 2nd Coming, is dropping on August 13th and has a grip of ill features on it. I am going to check it out for sure.

Planet Asia & Gensu Dean – Bar MitzVah (Video)

Straight off of the collaboration album, Abrasions, Planet Asia and Gensu Dean release this video single. The track is rapid fire goodness with vintage Planet Asia lines and delivery.

Gensu Dean & Planet Asia – Faces On The Dollar (Video)

Another video dropping from Gensu Dean and Planet Asia’s collaborative album, Abrasions. Planet Asia is an artist that can really do no wrong in my mind. His flow, demeanor, and cadence make him a tough act to follow in any cipher. On this track he discusses the power of the almighty dollar.

Single You Out: Gensu Dean & Planet Asia – Chuck Berry (ft. Shawn Pen)

Good gawd! This is the joint of the moment. It’s got tons of flavor with Gensu Dean preparing a proper beat, and Planet Asia and Shawn Pen applying the applicable verbals to the arrangement. I am really looking forward to their forthcoming album, Abrasions. Although realistically anything that has Planet Asia’s name attached to it is bound to be dope without any exceptions to the rule thus far.
