Planet Asia should need no introduction…but he certainly deserves one. With 2018 marking the twenty year anniversary of his self-titled debut EP, it’s the perfect time to look back on his body of work and appreciate just how integral he has been in keeping hardcore Hip-Hop alive through the trap years. King Medallions and his Gold Chain Military have managed to carry on tradition, while moving the culture forward at the same time. That’s no easy task!

PA’s 2017 collab with Apollo Brown, Anchovies, is considered a classic by heads worldwide, but only his stalwart supporters know that he dropped a mixtape on his born day last year titled Dirty Planet with DirtyDiggs and it was just as banging. In 2018 the Fresno emcee has already graced ears with two more high grade projects, The Golden Buddha and Mansa Musa. However, the GCM general is never one to rest on his laurels and has more in store before the year is out, including a second helping from the Mansa Musa sessions titled The Lost and Found Treasures of Mansa Musa! We got a chance to politic with one of this generation’s greatest warrior poets, and below is what transpired.

Planet Asia應該不用多介紹了…但當然他得值得被介紹。2018年是他首張EP的二十週年紀念日,這是個回顧他的作品的最佳時機,並欣賞他這麼多年一直在Hip Hop方面不可或缺的努力。 King Medallions和他的Gold Chain Military成功地繼承了傳統,同時推動了文化的發展。 這不是一件容易的事!

2017年PA和Apollo Brown, Anchovies的合作被世界各地的人們認為是經典之作。但只有他最忠實的支持者才知道他去年生日時發放了一個名為Dirty Planet with DirtyDiggs的混音帶吧!2018年的時候,Fresno emcee已經有了兩個更高級的項目 – The Golden Buddha 和 Mansa Musa。然而GCM永遠對自已的成就不滿足,並且將會有更多的「儲貨」在年底推出,包括第二次幫助 Mansa Musa的he Lost and Found Treasures of Mansa Musa!我們有機會訪問這代最偉大的「戰土詩人」,下面是當日發生的事情:

MODEL ALERT : HE CONG

Who is He Cong?

A familiar Asian face I kept noticing as I was scrolling through brand after brand’s runways, was the uniquely cute He Cong. According to The Fashion Spot, the China doll walked the most shows for any model of colour last year, during autumn/winter 17. While many designers and agents still prefer using mainly white models for catwalks, He Cong was definitely one of the stunning Asian faces that have helped lead a movement in encouraging to feature more colored people in catwalks.

MODEL ALERT : FRAN SUMMERS

Who is Fran Summers?

18-year-old Fran Summers was first widely noticed in JW Anderson’s London Fashion Week show, she walked out confidently wearing a colorful striped sequined dress, with her hair in a bob and bangs clipped sweetly to the side.

Fran’s modeling story started in a MAC makeup store in a mall. Fran says “I was chatting with one of the make-up artists called Naima, and she asked if I had ever thought about modelling. I said no, and she insisted on taking me in to see some agencies herself on her next day off. The only one she had heard of was Storm so she said we’d start there and see how things went. I walked in and they offered me a contract on the spot!”

Interestingly, Storm Model Management made the careers of Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, and had supermodels like Jourdan Dunn, Anna Ewers and Cindy Crawford in their books. So Storm is a pretty big deal, and they know what to look for in a rising star. Fran’s agent Chris Yiannoullou explained that Fran’s similarity to a young Natalie Portman in Leon is what helped seal the deal. “Fran is young but nevertheless an old soul, effortlessly cool, stoic but still charming, all while sporting one of the sharpest haircuts in the industry.” And I mean just look at the way she rocks that haircut, it’s the cool girl hair I dream to have but will never be able to pull it off as well as she does.
