MC Random and Chop Lui release the new rap single “Planet Move” on April 24, 2026, available on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and YouTube.
“Planet Move” pairs MC Random’s sharp, deliberate writing with production from Chop Lui, a longtime San Gabriel, California producer and engineer whose work has been tied to the Flourish$Prosper Music Group catalog for years. The single arrives as another link in the creative history between MC Random and Chop Lui, whose past collaborations include full-length work built around Chop Lui’s production and MC Random’s lyricism.
For MC Random, “Planet Move” fits the approach that has defined his catalog across more than twenty albums and two decades in hip-hop. He comes from the California underground with a style shaped by close study of rap craft, from punchlines and battle-tested bars to concept-driven writing. His connection to hip-hop started early and runs deep. He has described a formative moment from a Run-D.M.C. performance, when the line “yellow and green when it’s time to get ill” lit up the arena and made him realize this was what he wanted to do with his life. That kind of lived connection to the music still drives his work, and it is part of what gives his records a sense of purpose and detail.
Chop Lui produced “Planet Move.” He began making beats in 2001 with Acid Pro before moving to the Akai MPC, then taught himself mixing and mastering and became the lead engineer behind F$PMG releases. His solo release “Chop Lui XIII” introduced his range across 17 instrumental tracks, moving from boom bap to trap. Alongside that solo work, he has built a steady partnership with MC Random, including their collaboration as EL & Ar: Balance.
Stream or download “Planet Move” on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and YouTube starting April 24, 2026.

MC Random is a California underground hip-hop veteran based in El Monte with over twenty albums and twenty years of industry experience. His music is built on precision, range, and a clear respect for hip-hop history. He draws from the culture as both a student and participant, citing touchstones like Run-D.M.C. and “Wild Style” while continuing to write with the focus of a rapper who wants to entertain and inform. His catalog also includes the humorous alter ego Ran Dickles, another side of his writing that makes room for wit without losing technical control.
Chop Lui is a hip-hop producer from San Gabriel, California. Since starting in 2001, he has developed his sound through hands-on beatmaking, engineering, mixing, and mastering. His production work covers multiple rap styles, and his long-running collaboration with MC Random has made him a steady part of that artist’s recorded output. His background as both producer and engineer gives his records a clean, intentional feel rooted in years of independent work.
