‘The Golden Buddha’ is out Jan 19th, 2018 on Brick Records.

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!”

Only speak to the niggas who can write checks
Only party in the spots where they might sweat
I'm type fresh 
boutique so I might flex
I'm fentenol and narcan in the same breath 
Waitress looking like a playboy bunny 
Black cards for the tab real money 
Cigar music 
In a ghost with the roof gone 
Pulling up like pass the grey poupon 
Dreams I have so a nigga gotta get it 
Paper make me say Uhhh
Master P no Limit 
Y'all muthafuckas keep switching up your gimmicks 
That's why ya first baby momma 
Look like grimace 
Salute to Trick Daddy 
You don't know nah nigga 
Who represent like me shooters on triggers
You talk a lot of shit 
And nice with your characters 
But in the streets my Lil nigga will embarrass ya 


They say the streets dead
But those muthafuckas lied
A lot of real niggas are frpee and alive 
Just living it up 
Smiling not giving a fuck 
Smoking weed in a tux 
Everything is deluxe 


Only speak to the ladies with they own shit
Only hanging in the spots where
You won't get 
VIP everywhere off reputation 
Y'all niggaz can't get an invitation 
Celebration is the whole situation 
I remember when I didn't have Nathan 
When a nigga masked on like Jason 
When the dope man spots we casing 
Now the bar bringing cases of that Ace in
Secret society all my niggaz masons 
I know I know they gone scream illuminati
Salty at the crib 
Cause they can't get up in the lobby 
These niggaz mouths 
stay twisted up like Bobby 
Cause probably 
I'm hoping out the brand new edition 
Braggadocio flow 
My skin glisten 
Bruce Lee Roy Glow 
You still slippin


They say the streets dead
But those muthafuckas lied
A lot of real niggas are frpee and alive 
Just living it up 
Smiling not giving a fuck 
Smoking weed in a tux 
Everything is deluxe

Supreme Cerebral (LA) links up with Eyedee Beats (LA) for a superb Boom Bap collaberation titled "5 Kilo Cuban Linx" where Supreme utterly annihilates the smooth Eyedee canvas.
