You could say Eto is having a moment here in the early part of 2019. The first quarter is always a good time to come out if your name isn't ringing out - and his certainly isn't where it matters for a music career today. But that might be changing. Having already gotten high praise for his very thorough collaboration with DJ Muggs Hells Roof ( a must listen if you haven't) he isn't letting the positive attention slow him down with another single producer collaboration dropping on the 12th of this month.

DJ Muggs & Planet Asia ft. GZA & Chace Infinite “Triple Threat” Asia has long been on his grind in the west coast underground dropping solo’s and group projects over a decade ago, but while his witty and dense verbiage has kept his rep large with the true school heads he knows his position and plays it well. While Muggs Queens heritage probably plays into...
