Album: Black Belt Theatre
\nArtist: Planet Asia
\nReleased: Feb 28, 2012<\/p>\n

\u201dLike Farrakhan in a fitted, or Malcolm in a maybach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Militant. Revolutionary. Soulful. Stylish. And definitely withstanding the test of time. P.A. Medallions got that sh!t, that true school hip hop sh!t, that 12 jewelz slapboxxin’ straight savage sh!t. And don’t forget to pause for the poetry.<\/p>\n

With features from Camp Lo<\/strong> to Raekwon<\/strong>, Paul Wall<\/strong> to Talib Kweli<\/strong>, Ras Kass<\/strong>, Rogue Venom<\/strong>, and the rest of the Gold Chain Military<\/strong>, Planet Asia<\/strong> ensures that the microphone mathematics throughout the album reign supreme. DirtDiggs<\/strong> handles most of the production duties here. Expect dirty drum breaks and soul samples.<\/p>\n

Stand out cuts include: Daggers and Darts, Golden State, and Whirlwind Patterns.<\/p>\n

This is Fresno’s finest holding down some real g shit for the entire west coast. But it’s bigger than that… This is what hip hop is supposed to sound like.<\/p>\n
