General Monks (Planet Asia x TriState) - Front Runners [Official Video] (Dir. by Monotone).

West coast legend Planet Asia recently teamed up with Gold Chain Music signee TriState to form the new duo, dubbed General Monks ... and has released a free album to introduce themselves.

In conjunction with Wandering Worx Entertainment, the duo has released Each Step Becomes Elevated, a free album featuring both rappers and long list of guests -- including Ras Kass, Montage One, Phil The Agony, Krondon, Killer Ben, Killa Kali, Styliztik Jones and Rogue Venom. 

Production highlights include Evidence, Rel!g!on, Josh The Goon, Jansport J, Twizthebeatpro, Lee Bannon, DJ Woool and Asterix. 

Since starting out as a fledgling MC in LA in the early '90s, TriState has laid his signature vibrato over beats by DJ Khalil, Thayod Azur and Soul Nana. Asia has been nominated for a Grammy and won several awards since he started rapping in Fresno, CA in 1992. Now based out of Los Angeles, he has won The Source Magazine's Independent Album of the Year twice.  

The two rappers are not strangers to each other, first joining forces on the multi-artist joint project, Gold Chain Military, last year.

Revolutionary Theme Music: Babylon Warchild

Older black-and-white clips of various political events is interesting enough content for the first video, but the second song/video combo below goes a step further.  Using a Soviet Russia era propaganda film, which opens with the claim that

This film, both in its theme and artistic treatment, was something new in the world's cinematographic art. It was the first film to be based on a revolutionary event, with the people as it's hero.

is a short silent film juxtaposed with a good underground hip-hop song.  The video utilizes various early filmic avant garde and experimental techniques that make it an interesting watch in itself, especially if interested in the early Russian genius for the 'cinematographic arts' - Eisenstein (wiki here), anybody?


Babylon Warchild (Legitimate, Unknown Mizery, Rumpletiltz) - Call Of The Warchild (Prod. by Jordi Lafordi) [Video - with some mildly graphic content] (2011) off Babylon Warchild (2011).


Babylon Warchild Feat. Fresco P, Black, Symmetry, & BK The General (Prod. by Rumplestiltz) [Video] (2011) album (click here for iTunes) out by Gold From Straw Recordings.

The People's Verdict:  Dope album with three guys from Toronto, who probably won't be confused for Drake.  Babylon Warchild (2011) has that alien Annunaki revolutionary vibe with lyricism more reminiscent of an Immortal Technique.  Rumplestiltz handles an MPC, looper, as well as wielding a cello in live performance, while Legitimate and Unknown Mizery handle the rhyming.  Album features the cats witnessed in action aurally above as well as a song with Reef The Lost Cauze.  Click here for the website.
