The album arrives through DJ Scratch’s Albany Park Records, the label he launched in 2023.
DJ Scratch and Planet Asia’s collaborative album, Kings Dominion, arrived October 24 through the EPMD legend’s Albany Park Records imprint. The Hip-Hop vets initially kept their reveal minimal, posting only the nine-track listing as white text over black backgrounds on Instagram without rollout theatrics or promotional campaigns.
The project opens with “Not Allowed” and includes the title track “Kings Dominion,” followed by “Big Guns,” “Knowledge Is Power” and “Coming For The Title.” The album’s second half features “You All Know,” “Produce A Seed Through You,” “St Johns Park” and closes with “Ghetto Gospel,” the only track featuring additional voices from Rome Streetz and Rigz.
“The tracklist for me and @djscratch album ‘KINGS DOMINION’ dropping Oct 24th. My Birthday!!!” Planet Asia wrote on Instagram, revealing the release coincides with his birthday celebration.
The album arrives through DJ Scratch’s Albany Park Records, the label he launched in 2023. The imprint is named after the Albany Houses in Brooklyn where he grew up. The OG producer has maintained his reputation as a Hip-Hop icon throughout his extensive career spanning multiple decades.
Planet Asia’s catalog has remained one of underground rap’s most consistent offerings for over two decades, with the California-based MC earning recognition for his uncompromising lyrical approach. The collaboration promises to deliver substance over style, with both artists representing eras where album sequencing and conceptual frameworks held significant importance.
The cover art maintains the project’s stripped-back aesthetic, featuring a detailed silver crown floating against a black background with both artists’ names. No deluxe versions, bonus tracks or extended promotional campaigns have been announced, suggesting the duo intends to let the music speak for itself.
“We will remind you what a Hip Hop Album is supposed to sound like,” DJ Scratch stated on social media, positioning Kings Dominion as a return to traditional album construction focused on bars rather than commercial branding strategies.
The nine-track runtime suggests a concise listening experience designed around Planet Asia’s vocal delivery over DJ Scratch’s production work. Both artists have built careers on technical precision rather than mainstream appeal, making their partnership a natural fit for Hip-Hop purists seeking authentic content.
