I realize every post I've made today is about hip-hop, but there's just a lot of local hip-hop stuff worth talking about this fine April afternoon.

So now I move your attention toward Fresno's best known emcee -- Planet Asia. Asia's been busy: He was on Rap City recently, has a new album on the way with DJ Muggs, may have started some new Internet slang and is performing tonight in Fresno.

More on all these things after the break ...

1. Rap City: He was in their booth a couple weeks back with Talib Kweli, Mitchy Slicky & Co. Here's the video:

2. Album with DJ Muggs: Here's a teaser video for the album, due this summer.

3. Blog Me Down: Courtesy of Inverse comes this funny video of Asia talking about blogs. Consider yourself blogged down.

4. Tonight at the Hip-Hop Lounge: Tonight Asia performs at the third installment of the Hip-Hop Lounge at The Red Mill. Turbin will be joining him. Soon the two of them will be departing for a tour in Brazil.
