Trip Aces: Evidence/Celph-Titled/Skyzoo & Torae (MP3)

Do You Guys Like Music? 

Remember when URB reviewed every damn song under the sun? Surely you recall the days when you went to this thing called a newsstand and read every little blurb then put it back on the shelf without paying for it (you cheap raver mutherfuckers, go hug a tree with your glowstix taped to your asscheeks). I kid, URB is trying to save the planet but nothing can save the world of print media (tears streaming, thanks a lot God, or as he is now commonly referred to, Jobs-Gates)

If you’re like me, you’ve grown to rely on this delightful monstrosity known as the Internet. Having bump-able mp3s on your daily travels is a must. Nothing is worse than a half-assed playlist, so here’s a trio for all you Trill O.G.’s (ahem, I’m as big a proponent of the Bun Beater as …

Planet Asia & The Gold Chain Military – Chain of Command (Review)

Planet Asia & The Gold Chain Military

Chain of Command

Released by RBC Records


The Fresno, California resident, Planet Asia, is a veteran of the hip-hop game. He's one of those cats that possess a lot of talent, but has always been rather inconsistent in the quality of his music for one reason or another. He drops an album in the form of Chain of Command, but he is joined by friends this time: Killa Kali, Tristate, Killer Ben, Turbin and Sav Killz. All of them are fairly unfamiliar to the average rap cat, with Sav Killz being the only one I've heard more than a guest appearance or two out of. The problem with albums featuring "your boys" is that sometimes there is a reason they don't get put on themselves, so the potential for a sub-par album existed. Planet Asia has the talent to carry an album on his own, but would the Gold Chain Military need his assistance?
