My Grade For Album (Rate: 1 Lowest and 5 Highest)

Album Structure: 3.5

Review: I'm giving this album 3.8 MICS. This is based off a classic album having a rating of 5 MICS, but I do percentages. The overall feel of the album is solid and gives you that head bobbing, neck cracking, lyrical spitting work of art. 

All the beats were produced by heavy weight beat maker and rewind that bar back 38 Spesh from Trust Gang. If you haven't heard of 38 Spesh, drop what your doing (finish this though) and go do you homework. And so far every project he's released so far, he's just providing beats. I'm guessing he is saving his bar for bar flow for his album next month. 

 Let's get to Planet Asia's lyrical warfare on this album. He's always had bars, so I'm not surprised he's coming for people's throats on this project. My favorite song on this album is "Tec and a Mink". The chorus alone gives you that Mobb Deep feeling and makes you resurrect the song continuously. Song so FIRE, I threw out a shout out to Planet Asia and 38 Spesh last night on twitter. Thanks for retweeting my VIDEO Mr. Asia and Mr. Spesh. I appreciate all the support. And when I playED this track in my car this morning, I got goose bumps. The sound is incredible. Great production and lyrical content fellas. 

 Let's talk highlighted tracks. Resurrected was another lyrical juggernaut with a new comer named, The Musalini (will be watching you). Had to re-re-wind that cut too. The middle of the album took be to a slow beat mood which is always soothing especially if you smoke. Then the album picked up again with "Snake Charmer" where the beat pierces your eardrums. "You in your 30's still trying to run trains on bobs,..." Asia quotes. I still know dudes trying to post up at Dudley Station in Boston, trying to pull a females. LOL!

 Then the posse cut with Fred The Godson (best bars on album) and Elcamino came on. The HEAT (Beat) turn up. 38 Spesh beats are just getting better and better. I'm scared of what he's about to put out this year. Ya'll better step your production up. And he already got the baton and co-sign from DJ Premier. 

 I believe Fred has the most quotable bars on this project. No disrespect Asia, your flow is sicker than 90% of the music out, but Fred is bar for bar in my top 10. And Elcamino's flow fits just as well. Gives you that hood feel. Makes you want to put on your black hoodie and get in trouble. Please don't! And you know Asia had to score the touchdown with the anchor of the track. More bars than a private prison. 

 My other favorite's are Juggernauts and Winter Time. Both have that, rewind this track feel. And once Winter Time is over, it makes you want to start this album over. Again and again. 

The highlights is that it was produced by 38 Spesh and the lyrical content of Planet Asia. The album is a great combination of length, melodic tracks, head bangers and rhymes that satisfy the soul. 

 Planet Asia and 38 Spesh, if you reading or watching my Youtube Review, thamks in advance. I appreciate good Hip-Hop and you didn't disappoint. I hope people look into this album and your previous work loads. Both of ya'll have respectful bodies of work. 

Please check out my daughter's clothing line below. Also, my YouTube and other clothing ventures. Thanks in advance.

G Fam Black VS Ceverely Yours

G Fam Black VS Ceverely Yours Dear G Fam Black, Thank you once again for participating in this interview. I know you don’t do many press features, and this is a wonderful chance for your fans to learn a bit about you while still keeping some of that mystery. I truly appreciate it. Peace, G. I’m grateful for this opportunity! - G Fam Black Questions & Answers: 1. Are you originally from Brockton Massachusetts? And where are the best places to eat? Absolutely, I was born and raised in Brockton. There are plenty of great food spots here. For the best chicken, I’d recommend “Yas Chicken” and “Birdies Hot Chicken”, which are both fantastic. For breakfast, I have to mention “Alexander's Family Restaurant”. They’ve been around since I was a kid, and their omelets are incredible. For pizza, “Cape Cod Cafe Pizza” is the way to go—it's the best bar pizza in the world, a true South Shore Massachusetts specialty. A lot of towns near Brockton brag about having the best bar pizza, but th...

P-Ro is 12 FOR 12

Dear P-Ro, Thank you once again for participating in this interview. The year of 2025 was definitely a great year for you. 12 Albums in 12 months is something to be proud of. Your consistency, drive and performance shows, if you work hard, the world is yours. Questions & Answers: 01 Releasing one album per month for a year is a monumental, almost athletic creative feat. What was the core philosophy or personal need that drove this marathon? Was it to break a habit, prove something, or simply because the music was overflowing? -It was actually a little bit of all those, and wanting to challenge myself with a goal and try to get better at being organized. The list of projects I made in December looks different than what I ended up doing. If I wasn't dedicated to monthly drops, I probably wouldn't have made 4-5 of the ones I did. It's great to have a team that's like-minded and can dive in with me when I need them and make great, fun music together and share it with th...

How To Support Your Local Rapper/Producer?

  The Core Problem: The Illusion of Support vs. Real Financial Impact Many fans believe that streaming a song, watching a music video, or following an artist on social media is "support." While this is valuable for visibility, it provides almost no direct income, especially for artists without major label backing. The Streaming Chasm:  It's well-known that streaming payouts are meager. An artist might need  hundreds of thousands of streams  just to earn a modest monthly rent. For underground rappers without playlist placements or algorithmic favor, this is an insurmountable hurdle. The "Exposure" Fallacy:  Many shows, especially for opening acts or in competitive markets, are "pay-to-play" or offer minimal guarantees. Playing for "exposure" doesn't pay bills. So, if streaming and low-tier shows don't cut it, how  can  fans genuinely support rappers, especially underground ones? Let's break it down by impact. Tier 1: The Lifeblood ...
