Celebrating the birthday of Fresno, California veteran Planet Asia along with his twenty seventh full-length studio LP. Rising as 1/2 of the duo Cali Brokers, he would additionally go on to have a really profitable solo profession & has made a prolonged but constant discography for himself. This contains The Grand Opening, The Drugs, the DJ Muggs-produced Ache Language, Abrasions, the Apollo Brown-produced Anchovies & Sardines backed by Mello Music Group, the Proof-produced Rule of 3rds & the Snowgoons-produced U.Z.I. (Common Zeitgeist Intelligence). It’s already been 14 months since Belief the Chain II & my anticipation for King’s Dominion elevated as soon as it was introduced DJ Scratch was totally producing the entire thing.
“Not Allowed” aggressively opens by speaking about sucka shit not being permitted round his premises whereas the title monitor works in some strings to check his rhymes to phrases despatched from an angel. “Massive Weapons” talks about sending his shooter at anybody who speaks badly on his title & after the spoken phrase “Data is Energy” interlude, he doesn’t waste a cut up second “Coming for the Title” along with his authenticity.
Beginning the 2nd half, “You All Know” soulfully talks about presumably charging for reflections main into “Produce a Seed By way of You” chops up extra soul samples & discussing desirous to knock up a Hispanic lady. “St. John’s Park” brings some rap rock undertones to the desk murdering mics whereas Rigz & Rome Streetz seem for the nearer dropping off some “Ghetto Gospel”.
Reminding the world of what a hip hop mission’s purported to sound like, Planet Asia groups up with the previous disc jokey of EPMD & the Flipmode Squad for an album coinciding with celebrating the west coast lyricist turning 49 that rivals Belief the Chain II final summer time. DJ Scratch’s manufacturing exemplifies why he’s thought of amongst probably the most underappreciated beatsmith throughout the tradition at present & lyrically, the Fresno penman makes one other instance of his personal getting sharper with time.
