DJ Scratch and Planet Asia’s collaborative album Kings Dominion is released on October 24th via EPMD legend’s Albany Park Records. The hip-hop veterans initially kept their revelations to a minimum, releasing the nine-song list in white text on a black background on Instagram, with no theatrics or promotions.

The project kicked off with “Not Allowed,” including the title track “Kings Dominion,” followed by “Big Guns,” “Knowledge Is Power” and “Coming For The Title.” The second half of the album features “You All Know”, “Produce A Seed Through You”, “St Johns Park” and ends with “Ghetto Gospel”, the only song to feature vocals from Rome Streetz and Rigz.

“The tracklist for my album KINGS DOMINION with @djscratch will be released on October 24th. My birthday!!!” Planet Asia wrote on Instagram, with the release coinciding with his birthday celebrations.

The album is released via DJ Scratch’s Albany Park Records, which he launched in 2023. The label is named after the Albany, Brooklyn, home where he grew up. The OG producer has maintained his reputation as a hip-hop icon throughout his expansive career spanning decades.

For over two decades, Planet Asia’s albums have been some of the most consistent in underground rap, with the Californian MC earning recognition for his uncompromising lyricism. The collaboration promises substance over style, with both artists representing a time when album sequencing and conceptual framework mattered.

The cover art maintains the project’s minimalist aesthetic, with a delicate silver crown bearing the two artists’ names floating on a black background. No deluxe editions, bonus tracks or extended promotions have yet been announced, suggesting the duo intend to let the music speak for itself.

“We’re going to remind you what a hip-hop album should look like,” DJ Scratch said on social media, positioning Kings Dominion as a return to traditional album building with a focus on bars rather than commercial branding strategies.

The nine-track runtime offers a no-frills listening experience, designed around the sonic delivery of Planet Asia and the production work of DJ Scratch. Both artists have built their careers on technical precision rather than mainstream appeal, making their partnership perfect for hip-hop purists looking for authentic content.
