Planet Asia - No Apologies
Artist: Planet Asia
Featuring: Raekwon
Producer: Oh No
Album: Black Belt Theatre
Label: Gold Chain Music
I don’t want to be one of those old hip-hop heads who spend his days complaining about how everything was better way back when. I really don’t. But as much as I try to expand my musical boundaries, as soon as a track like No Apologies comes on my head starts automatically nodding - and f**k it, I’m not apologizing. One of the west coast’s true vets, Planet Asia, reached across to the right coast to to the impeccable Raekwon for No Apologies, picking up a soulful, smoothed out beat from Oh No along the way that’s a far cry from the dark work he just wrapped up with Gangrene. Both emcees lay down exactly the type of unshakable bars you’d expect, with The Chef fittingly pausing only to shout out grilled cheese. If you’re digging what you’re hearing, and I’m pretty sure you are, be sure to cop Asia’s Black Belt Theater album, also featuring Talib Kweli, Fashawn and more, coming out tomorrow (2/28) and available for pre-order right now. Enjoy, and don’t ever apologize for being an old school hip-hop head.

I agree 100% with Nathan's assessment above in the song write-up. If you love hip hop, in particular the golden era of hip hop, don't apologize for turning the volume up on this one. Grilled cheese!

I'm really feeling all the Raekwon features lately. The production on this track by Oh No is sick. Great use of samples and Planet Asia lays down some good lyrics. Raekwon Sounds great too. BANGER!
