Cali Agents are a critically acclaimed West Coast Hip Hop Duo comprised of veteran lyricists: Solefather Rasco and Planet Asia. Known for their sharp compositions, raw energy and commitment to the fundamentals of the Culture. The two Northern California raised artists have built a respected catalog in the underground music scene, consistently delivering thought provoking bars and classic Boom Bap production.
The How The West Was One 25th Anniversary Tour is a testament to timeless music that is still celebrated worldwide . This outing has been in incubation since Cali Agents reunited on November 27th , 2023 at Catch One in Los Angeles, California.
Born Keida Brewer( Rasco ) and Jason Green( Planet Asia ), they first appeared together on Rasco's Time Waits For No Man in 1998. The pair was billed as 'Cali Agents' on the 1999 12" single "Sophisticated Mic Pro's"/"Blood Brothaz" from Rasco's The Birth EP.
The group officially debuted in the year 2000 with the release of their seminal album: How The West Was One. A project that was widely regarded as a classic. Led by the breakout single, "Good Life", the LP showcased their undeniable chemistry: Rasco's gritty, streetwise flow paired seamlessly with Planet Asia's articulate, rapid-fire delivery. The cohesive 15 tracks earned critical praise for reviving the lyric-driven ethos of the Golden Era at a time when mainstream rap was veering toward commercialism.

True Justice, aka The Man of Steel, has been a pioneer in the Bay Area Hip Hop scene since 1989. In an era where real deejaying skills have become scarce, True Justice holds the torch, and is known for tearing clubs down in every city and every town. No stranger to hustle and showmanship, he comes from the era of constantly packing the vinyl crates and being out on the road!
True’s ambition is to showcase the amount of talent that he has amassed in the last 25 years in Northern California, better known as The Yay Area. While still in high school, True Justice was a hip hop dancer for the Oakland, CA super-group A.P.G. (Action Packed Gangstas), and at the age of 16, he found himself doing concerts with the likes of Digital Underground, Capital Tax, Paris and K-Cloud — while witnessing first hand the birth of the independent hip hop game in the culturally rich Bay Area.
