While other MCs seem to strive for flavor-of-the-month or
flash-in-the-pan success, Planet Asia and Rasco, aka the
Cali Agents, remain the coal miners of West Coast hip hop.
They have toiled in the trenches for years, both as a duo
and as solo artists, methodically building a core audience
for their music. Every step they have made has been a part
of a logical progression, and now things are finally coming
together. San Francisco-born Rasco has a critically
acclaimed LP, Time Waits For No Man, and an EP, The Birth,
under his belt. Meanwhile, Fresno native Planet Asia has
released a self-titled EP, 12-inches for both ABB and
Certified Records, and has guest-appeared on a laundry list
of MCs' and crews' tracks, all to similar acclaim.
Now, with the Cali Agents' full-length, How the West Was
One, Rasco and Asia are ready to enjoy the fruits of their
labor. Welcoming well-earned success is what the "Good Life"
is all about. Both MCs bask in the glow of the success
they've attained over jazzy key and horn drops and vocal
stabs provided by their producer Protest. Asia flows, "I saw
it comin' as a young un though/Mentally possessed for the
limelight/Cali Agents about to up the decimal."
While expressing happiness over their popularity, the duo
remains humble, remembering the hard work that got them to
this point. As Rasco succinctly says, "Now watch while we
catch the whole damn batch/And we stay underground to earn
that scratch."
