Finally, The Solo we have been waiting for.....

"anyone that knows who Planet Asia is, knows that he is one of the top 5 underground emcees around and personally I think he is THE number 1 underground rapper today. This album is almost flawless, from beginning to end it is both pleasing to Asia's hardcore fans and accessible for new listeners. The only flaw on this album is It's all Big. It is a desperate attempt to reach the masses in form of a club track. I cant blame him though, he deserves to be wealthy from what he does more than 99% of the garbage that most of these radio dj's call hip hop. I think I speak for Hip Hop when I say Thank You Planet Asia. Your new album is the Sh**.Rocky Castro"
Solid CD

"Planet Asia is a very talented MC hailing from the Freson area of California although is flow is more east coast, almost Wu-Tang on certain cuts (Track #6)All in all, it is a very solid CD. A good 6 or 7 songs you will really enjoy. His underground roots show through as amateurish on some tracks such as Paper Up which just doesn't come off as polished at all. The top songs are all bangers though:

Right or Wrong: Excellent beat and smooth flow by PA

Real Niggaz: Asia holds his own with Ghostface, great song

Pure Coke: Wutang type flow over a Cali-type beat, blends well

Upside Down: Showcases his storytelling ability, solidifies his talent as a well rounded MC,not something every underground MC can pull off

Summertime in the City: Seems like Asia almost had a hard time finding his flow but I just love it as a kick back joint.



I lost this CD twice and bought it back both times, so it is good enough to get, trust me you will find songs you will love."
THE KID IS NICE!!!

"CALI HAS SOME HOT MC'S, BUT THIS KID IS ONE OF THE BETTR ONES I'VE HEARD. SOUNDS LIKE A COMBO OF BLACK THOUGHT AND OC. THE ALBUM HAS A STRONG EAST COAST INFLUENCE AND THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS THIS ALBUM FROM BEING 5STARS IS MORE BIG NAME PROCUCERS. STILL A MUST BUY FOR ANY TRUE HIP-HOP FAN."
