Gensu Dean & Planet Asia - Abrasions (2013)


The Grand Imperial Gensu Dean and West Coast legend Planet Asia have teamed up for what is nothing short of a frantic ride through 17 tracks of unbridled Hip-Hop. Planet Asia is at his best spitting bar after bar of lyrical fire, filled with dense wordplay, astute observations, and knock 'em down punchlines. Gensu Dean on the other hand produces what has to be the pinnacle of SP1200 production in the contemporary age. Dean proves he has mastered the Jedi tool of choice for making beats. Each beat knocks with heavy intensity, while infused with enough funk and soul to move any body. Featuring Grammy Award Winner David Banner along with stalwart emcees Tragedy Khadafi and Planet Asia's Gold Chain Medallion crew, Abrasions is nothing short of stunning. Without one track to slow down on, the dense 17 track album will be the Hip-Hop gold standard for 2013.

"From Prince To King My Team Elohim"

Audio: Gensu Dean - Wantchu feat. Olivier Daysoul





Gensu Dean, the SP-1200 assassin, is at it again with a new 45 for vinyl heads that pairs the ultimate fast flow track “Ramesses feat. 7evenThirty & Homeboy Sandman”, with a brand new joint titled “Wantchu” featuring the UK-based songbird Olivier Daysoul.

“Wantchu” is not what you would expect from a producer touted for bringing that grimy flavor of 90’s rap back. Instead, Dean proves he can smooth things out just as quickly as he can make them rugged. The Imperial blesses Olivier Daysoul with a silky smooth canvas with just enough head-nod flavor to tie it all together. On his end, Mr. Daysoul lays a thick, syrupy ode to the conflicting feelings of infatuation. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself listening to this one on loop for a while.

Strictly for the collectors, this 45 will go as quickly as it came.

Gensu Dean: "You Have Those Artists That Are Selling Out & Making Compromises. Not Me"


With the new Lo-Fi Fingahz album finally in stores, Texas producer Gensu Dean gives you his top five reasons to pick-up this must-buy LP.


1. It's A Different World

One reason would be the diverse sound. Music today, in hip-hop, a lot of the sh*t sounds the same. It was my goal, when I set out to make music years ago, to always maintain a certain element in the music but still keeping it diverse. With my debut, it's still that. Even the equipment I use helped hip-hop during the golden era. When people hear my album, they'll notice it'll stand out sonically.

2. Invitation-Only

The second reason is the arrary of talent. I have a lot of legendary artists on here supporting my movement. You're going to see Brand Nubian, Lord Jamar, Large Professor, David Banner, these people really support what I do and I support them as well. I have some not-so-known artists on the album that really went in and brought their A-game. Nobody breaks new artists. People bring their crew on board or their whole album is full of features we already know. I wanted to find new and up-and-coming artists that didn't really have that much burn and showcase them, showcase their skill on some raw, dope joints.

3. How About Some Hardcore

Number three is because it's hardcore hip-hop. It's back to the basics. I think it's really important to study the lane you're in. I was listening to the up-and-coming producers putting out albums and a lot of people were getting away from the basics. I heard a lot of people just chopping up drums, chopping up the loops, having the emcees spit and doing their thing. I wanted to get back to the basics. It's really super hardcore hip-hop.

4. I Swear To Tell The Truth

The fourth reason is because it's honest. This is an honest piece of work. It is who I am. My alias is Lo-Fi Fingahz. There's no silver, platinum bling-bling. It's about life. I still go and dig for records, I still cut up the drums, I'm still using vintage gear. My whole appraoch to music production is honest. That comes out in the music and the artists I was blessed to work with. They all weigh in with what the honest music they felt.

5. Special Delivery

Special. I think the last reason is because this is special. People cut corners and do things to put out music. You have those arists that are selling out and making compromises, not me. Everything that went into making this record was all special. They all had some sort of special circumstances behind it. It adds an extra texture behind the music. I think it's going to touch people with the diversity of the music and artists.

You Decide. Will you purchase Lo-Fi Fingahz?
