I remember making the yearly drive from Seattle to L.A. and back for college and every time I went through Fresno, I had the same thought: one side of I-5 looked like any strip mall friendly college neighborhood while the other…looked like the F that Fash describes in “The Ecology.” Great records, and you get the 2 for 1 visual treatment courtesy of Punit Dhesi too.
In honor of Black History Month, the Blacksmith family has recorded this dope song and video where Phil Da Agony, Chace Infinite, Planet Asia, and Affion Crockett spit about their family heritage. I’m not a huge fan of the beat, but the verses give you a little biography of each dude’s family tree, which is something dope that you rarely hear from MC’s.
Shout to Tunji for sending this one through as well. Hit up the YOTB for more…
Yes…super last minute, but for L.A. readers, go check out a special birthday party tonight for Planet Asia at Busby’s East. Performances by Strong Arm Steady, DJ Muggs, and Asia himself. Should be a great night so check it out if you’re in SoCal and your schedule’s open!
And just in case you’re on the fence, peep Asia & Muggs’ new video for “Lions In The Forest.” This is my jam right now.
