i still remember the first time i ever heard planet asia spit, and he was destroying the ny state of mind beat. i can't even remember the release it was on, but shortly after that, i had downloaded the cali agents album, which was pretty good. i never expected him to link up w/ alchemist for the durag dynasty project...i guess it's the evidence connection. you'd think that the westcoast heads would big him up more, but i guess he does have more of a eastcoast style.
