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.
Dice Game is arguably one of the best albums of 2012, intermingling Apollo Brown’s soulful boom-bap and Guilty Simpson’s raw, gutteral flow. This joint features the incomparable Planet Asia who continues to show and prove why he is one of the most sought after emcees in the game.

Note:
I can say, without hesitation, that Ruste Juxx has been on of the most prolific artists in the last few years. He has been featured donzens of times on other people’s projects. He has been on a a blistering pace of almost releasing two albums a year and V.I.C. is his second of 2012. His first project this year was with French producer Kyo Itachi, entitled Hardbodied Hip Hop. That album was outstanding and I thought Juxx had outdone himself with that effort but, V.I.C. expounds even further on that effort, making it one of the top notch albums of 2012. I believe one of the reasons this album shines so bright is the beat selection from producer, The Arcitype. He is able to fuse different sounds together for an album that I really hadn’t heard before and that only enables Ruste Juxx to showcase even more of what he can do with the microphone.

I think this next Snowgoons project is going to prove to be interesting. The production doesn’t sound as “orchestral” or “symphonic” to me. The songs have a more pure boom-bap flavor to me. This track is ruled by Planet Asia. The man never disappoints.
Dynasty is dropping next week. Be on the lookout.
Wow. What a nice surprise this was! I own most of these jawns from Critical, but to see them all in once place is impressive. The man has put in work, and this project puts that into perspective. Critical is a very talented emcee on the Creative Juices roster and has an album dropping later this year entitled, Electrical Tape. My favorite joints are his collaborations with Little Vic which are done under the monniker, Hidden Agenda.
Check this mixtape out. You are bound to find some interesting gems.
I will never bet against a Planet Asia project being anything less than extremely dope. This joint is funky. Planet Asia could probably rap over cow bells and still sound fresh. The man just makes music better with his flow and rhyme prowess. Black Belt Theatre will be available on February 28th. Sleep not…
One of the most consistent voices in Hip Hop, Planet Asia, brings you his first single from the forthcoming album, Black Belt Theatre. Golden State is layered in that 70s funk which, as I understand it, is the whole theme for the album. I am always down for Planet Asia material. He’s a model of consistency.
Truthfully, these are some of the most distinct voices in the game right now. You definitely know who’s who when Planet Asia and Phil Da Agony start spitting bars. But don’t sleep on Azma. I bought his new album, Thought You Knew, and that joint bangs. It’s loaded with great guests (as you can see) and he more than holds his own on the mic. The guy really has a voice to emcee, so if you like this joint check out the album.
This song is no joke. I am not laughing. Planet Asia and Ras Kass coupled with Torae and Jasiri X? Ah hell. This song is a banger in every sense of the word. The beat by REL!G!ON is next level. There is nothing to dislike about this track unless you simply hate hip hop.
New material from Planet Asia! That is some good news. Actually this is some older material recorded with producer G_Force for a project called Camoflauge Jackets that was originally recorded three years ago. The project has never seen the light of day until now. It is dropping next week on October 13th on Frsh Slcts. Check the single and check back here for more information.
