from the album "Abrasions"

About the Album:
The Grand Imperial Gensu Dean and West Coast legend Planet Asia have teamed up for what is nothing short of a frantic ride through 17 tracks of unbridled Hip-Hop.   Planet Asia is at his best spitting bar after bar of lyrical fire, filled with dense wordplay, astute observations, and knock ‘em down punchlines.  Gensu Dean on the other hand produces what has to be the pinnacle of SP1200 production in the contemporary age.  Dean proves he has mastered the Jedi tool of choice for making beats - the SP1200.  Each beat knocks with heavy intensity, while infused with enough funk and soul to move any body.   Featuring Grammy Award Winner David Banner along with stalwart emcees Tragedy Khadafi and Planet Asia’s Gold Chain Medallion crew, Abrasions is nothing short of stunning.  Without one track to slow down on, the dense 17 track album will be the Hip-Hop gold standard for 2013.

“From Prince To King My Team Elohim”

SKI BEATZ is an artist, legendary record producer, musician and MC originally from North Carolina. New York City’s own Hip-Hop aficionado, DJ CLARK KENT, discovered Ski Beatz during a performance with the “BIZZIE BOYS” after opening up for the legendary MC DANA DANE.  Ski Beatz was originally known as “MC WILL-SKI” and was a member of the group “ORIGINAL FLAVOR”, which was the first group, managed by future recording industry executive DAMON DASH.  Ski Beatz began to produce music for rap duo, CAMP LO on their first debut album “UPTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT” which peaked at NUMBER 27 on the BILLBOARD 200 CHART and spawned the hit single, “LUCHINI AKA THIS IS IT” reaching the TOP 5 on the HOT RAP SINGLES CHART.  Soon after, Damon Dash commissioned Ski Beatz to work on the debut album of another artist on his roster, JAY Z.   Jay Z’s album “REASONABLE DOUBT” marked another major production placement in Ski Beatz career.  Ski Beatz produced four tracks off the album, including the hit singles “DEAD PRESIDENTS” which was a commercial success as indicated by its RIAA CERTIFICATION as a GOLD SINGLE and “FEELIN’ IT” the fourth single. After the critical success of Reasonable Doubt, Ski Beatz formed ROC-A-BLOK PRODUCTIONS in affiliation with Jay Z and Dame Dash famous record label ROC-A-FELLA RECORDS, working with Camp Lo and SPORTY THIEVEZ.  Ski Beatz crafted most of Camp Lo’s debut, which dropped in 1997 and provided Camp Lo with most of the production for their second album LET’S DO IT AGAIN, and their third album BLACK HOLLYWOOD.  Ski Beatz continued to work with Jay-Z on his sophomore album “IN MY LIFETIME, VOL. 1” while simultaneously producing compilations and non-solo album projects with the likes of NATURE, members of the NEW JERSEY CREW, THE OUTSIDAZ, LIL’ KIM, BAHAMADIA, PITTSBURG SLIM, FOXY BROWN, RAS KASS, PROOF, FUNKDOOBIEST, AZ and FAT JOE single “JOHN BLAZE”.

Under the DD172 music division, BLUROC RECORDS, Ski Beatz fell right back into the fold with a new album and brand of music titled “24 HOUR KARATE SCHOOL”.

On his third 24 Hour Karate School album “TWILIGHT” Ski Beatz connects with another batch of new-school rappers, lacing them with outstanding, sample free-friendly beats with tinkles of piano loops, mellow guitar licks, harp strings, thick drums, and smooth synths provided by Ski Beatz and his residential band, “THE SENSEIS”.  Ski Beatz 24 Hour Karate School Part 3, Twilight line up also includes symphonic tracks with TABI BONNEY and MURS on the funky sensation of "HIP-HOP & LOVE," MIKEY ROCKS and TRADEMARK DA SKYDIVER shine on "LIVING IT UP," and NAJEE impresses on the jazzy, sax-infused "CITY LIGHTS."
