None stop mix of a selection of my favorite independent hip-hop cuts from- and around year 2000. This was the tail end of the golden era when indie hip-hop vinyl still sold decent volumes. 
The West Coast was just a strong as the East Coast in terms of output of underground hits.  
Releases from labels like ABB Records where more or less a default buy. 
DJ Revolution’s “In 12’s We Trust” LP is fantastic all way through and so is Cali Agent’s first LP, Laid In Full Chapter 2, Mykill Miers, Encore, Scum and so on…

Planet Asia - Walking Out

Hip Hop artist rooted in lyricism and spirituality, drawing from the raw tradition of boombap while engaging deeply with introspection and lived experience. The music prioritizes substance over spectacle — dense verses, dusty rhythms, and ideas that linger long after the beat fades.

Influenced by Hip Hop’s golden-era ethos and guided by a reflective, almost meditative approach to writing, each record is treated as a conversation rather than a product. Themes of faith, human nature, discipline, and self-awareness run through the work, creating a body of music meant to be revisited, not rushed.

This is Hip Hop as practice, as philosophy, and as documentation — uncompromising, intentional, and grounded in respect for the culture
