Planet Asia helped jump-start the West Coast independent
hip-hop movement, and has solidified himself as one of the
most consistent and respected MCs in the game over his 20+
year career. He dropped his debut EP with producer Fanatik
in 1998, and followed up quickly with the singles "Definition of
Ill" (Stones Throw) and "Place of Birth" (ABB Records). In
2001, The Source Magazine gave him the ‘First Round Draft
Pick’ and ‘Independent Album of the Year’ awards for ‘How the
West Was One’, which was recorded with fellow CA rapper
Rasco under the group name Cali Agents. This landed him a
deal with Interscope Records, where he was signed until 2003
without releasing an album.
Planet Asia was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2002 for
his feature on the song "W" by Mystic, and was later signed to
Avatar Records, which released his official debut album, ‘The
Grand Opening,’ in 2004. It earned him another ‘Independent
Album of the Year’ award from The Source. Later, he started
his own imprint Gold Chain Music, on which he has churned
out multiple projects. He has also collaborated on albums with
the likes of DJ Muggs (‘Pain Language’), Evidence (‘The
Medicine’) and Madlib (‘Cracks In The Vinyl’), among others,
and released songs with artists such as Linkin Park, Bun B,
Talib Kweli and Ghostface Killah.
The Fresno MC is fresh off of a strong 2017 which featured
well-received collaborative albums with producers DirtyDiggs
(‘Dirty Planet’) and Apollo Brown (‘Anchovies’). For 2018, Asia
teamed up with Bay Area producer izznyce for this true solo
project, sure to be considered the next classic in
his vast catalog.
‘The Golden Buddha’ was produced entirely by izznyce
(producer for Superstar Quamallah and more) and features
AZ, Hus Kingpin, Turbin, Marvelous Mag, Killa Kali, TriState,
Xiomara and The Architect.
Speaking on the project, Planet Asia says: “This album
represents the foundation of what Planet Asia is about and
that is ‘balance’. Me and izznyce also took our time with the
record, and had a chance to really vibe out and make the type
of music we personally like that will stand the test of time!” |
