Planet Asia

Jason Green (born October 24, 1976), better known as Planet Asia, is an American rapper from Fresno, California. He is prominent for being one half of the hip-hop duo the Cali Agents and is also well known for his vast discography of mixtapes.

Career Originally from Fresno, California, Planet Asia moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1998 and began working with a local producer, Fanatik. Between 1997 and 2001, Planet Asia released several 12" singles, including "Definition of Ill" (Stones Throw) and "Place of Birth" (ABB Records). In 2000, he released the album How the West Was One with fellow rapper Rasco, under the group name Cali Agents. He earned acclaim in 2001 when The Source gave him the first round draft pick and Independent Album of the Year award, and he landed a deal with Interscope Records. He was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2002 for the song "W" by Mystic. While signed to Interscope Records, Planet Asia was not promoted much and stayed with Interscope until 2003 without releasing an album.

In 2003, Avatar Records signed Planet Asia and in 2004 released his debut album, The Grand Opening. It earned him another Independent Album of the Year award from The Source. Avatar also released 12" vinyl records including "Summertime In The City" b/w "G's & Soldiers" (featuring Kurupt), "Its All Big" b/w "Right or Wrong", and "Real Niggaz" (featuring Ghostface Killah). The song "G's & Soldiers" was in the 2005 film Be Cool.

After leaving Avatar, Planet Asia started his own record label, Gold Chain Music, with Walt Liquor. His next album, The Medicine, was released on October 3, 2006, on ABB and Battle Axe Records. The album was produced by Evidence of Dilated Peoples, with co-production from The Alchemist, Nucleus and Bravo. On June 26, 2007, he released The Jewelry Box Sessions: The Album on Gold Chain Music. In 2011, Planet Asia was a judge on the Ultimate MC TV show alongside Royce da 5'9", Sean Price, Organik, and Pharoahe Monch. In 2017, Planet Asia and Apollo Brown released a collaboration album titled Anchovies, followed by Sardines in 2023.
