After moving to the Bay Area, Planet Asia hooked up with Rasco and formed the rap duo Cali Agents. Following the independent album release How the West Was Won, major labels started to call. The Source magazine named him First Round Draft Pick and gave him their Independent Album of the Year award for How Was the West Was Won in 2000. He was even nominated for a 2002 Grammy Award for his collaboration with hip-hop diva Mystic on W. His collaborations have included everyone from Black Thought of The Roots, BT, Dub Pistols, Talib Kweli, and Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang Clan. His versatile skills on the mic resulted in a collaboration with the multi-platinum selling rock group Linkin Park on their hugely successful Re-Animation album. Planet Asia released The Grand Opening album in 2003 with guest appearances and production from Ghostface Killah, DJ Khalil, Evidence, Architect, J. Wells, Jake One, and Supa Dave West.
