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.

Travis Scott pulled off a colossal feat in India with two sold-out nights at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, drawing more than 125,000 people and setting a new benchmark for rap concerts in the country.

The back-to-back shows on October 18 and 19, part of his global CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour, now stand as the largest single-artist performances in Delhi’s history.

The events were organized by Live Nation and BookMyShow and delivered Scott’s signature sensory overload—complete with massive visuals, intense lighting and a stage setup designed to immerse the crowd.

The Houston-born rapper’s India shows are just the latest milestone in a tour that has already rewritten the record books.

Since kicking off in October 2023, the CIRCUS MAXIMUS WORLD TOUR has grossed $209.3 million across 76 sold-out dates, with 1.7 million tickets sold globally, making it the highest-earning solo rap tour to date.

Scott’s run in India isn’t over. He’s scheduled to perform again on November 19 at Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse, where another massive crowd is expected.

The tour‘s international leg continues into 2025 with stops planned in Seoul, Sanya, Tokyo and Abu Dhabi.

Looking ahead, Scott is also set to return to the Coachella stage in 2025, marking his first appearance at the festival since 2017.

Earlier this year, he teased a new project, telling fans the upcoming album would be “as crazy as it gets.”

Megan Thee Stallion called out alleged online smear tactics and defended her personal life during a livestream just hours after releasing her new single “Lover Girl.”

In a video posted over the weekend, the Houston rapper addressed the wave of online hostility she says feels too orchestrated to be organic. “When I do peep online and see what y’all doing, I feel like y’all get so easily riled up and easily discouraged when y’all know people get paid to talk crazy about me,” she said. “Like, don’t it seem a little weird like how overwhelming a lot of Megan Thee Stallion hate seem? Like, it don’t seem right, do it?”

The Grammy winner doubled down on her belief that some of the backlash is part of a coordinated effort.

“It’s not, because people are getting paid to do this. These are bots, these are paid people,” she said. “Like, if you scroll through some of these people’s tweets, it be a man that’s been tweeting about sports for eight years. Now all of a sudden, he just hate Megan Thee Stallion. These people are getting paid to do this. Stop listening to them. B####, they time up.”

The livestream came a day after Megan dropped “Lover Girl,” a sultry track that highlights her relationship with NBA star Klay Thompson. The couple has recently been seen together at games, drawing attention for their public chemistry.

Megan also pushed back against critics questioning her lifestyle. “What is there even to hate on? I don’t be doing that. I’ll be in the house with my man, with my dogs, watching anime, at the studio,” she said.

She encouraged her supporters to choose their battles wisely. “When I give y’all something to cry about, cry about it, alright? Then we can start crying. I ain’t gave y’all nothing to cry about yet. Fight back when it’s a reason to fight. We’re chilling right now, Hotties. We’re listening to ‘Lover Girl,’ babe.”

Her remarks follow ongoing legal disputes, including a lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz. As part of that case, Akademiks was recently deposed and later criticized Megan’s legal team and Roc Nation for what he described as irrelevant questions.

Vybz Kartel electrified Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena Sunday night (October 26) as he launched his first-ever Canadian concert, and Drake made the moment even bigger by stepping in for a surprise performance that left the crowd roaring.

The Vybz Kartel show marked the first of three sold-out nights at the arena, making him the first Jamaican artist to reach that milestone at the venue.

Dressed in full Toronto Blue Jays gear, Kartel stormed the stage to his remix of Akon’s “Locked Up,” swinging a baseball bat and wearing a powder-blue jersey stitched with “Worl’ Boss” on the back.

“Canada, we’re here!” he shouted. “Yo, big up Blue Jays.”

The 49-year-old dancehall veteran, who’s been navigating life with Graves’ disease, didn’t hold back.

He powered through hits like “Romping Shop,” “It Bend Like Banana” and “Go Go Wine” while the audience danced and sang along word-for-word.

Drake performed “Controlla” and “Nokia” and shared a personal memory of his early days as a teenager outside the now-closed Escape Nightclub.

“Look at all these people right here, how much time we’ve spent with this man’s music right here,” he told the crowd.

Drake Gives Vybz Kartel His Flowers

In another heartfelt moment, Drake told the crowd, “Tonight is not just about music. Tonight is not just about seeing two artists. This is finally a man getting the flowers and love that he deserves. Welcome home.”

The concert was presented by Drake’s OVO label, continuing the partnership between the two artists that began earlier this year when Kartel joined Drake on stage at London’s Wireless Festival.

Kartel’s return to the stage follows a dramatic legal reversal. After serving nearly a decade behind bars for a 2014 murder conviction, his case was overturned in March 2024 due to juror misconduct.

He was released later that year and quickly resumed his career, earning a Grammy nomination and launching a global tour.

The Toronto shows represent a full-circle moment for both artists — one who grew up idolizing the other, and one who finally stepped onto Canadian soil after decades of influence.

Kartel’s next two shows at Scotiabank Arena are scheduled for later this week.
