I felt that way about durag dynasty
Still one of the most random projects ever. Random ass name especially. I'd also never heard of Ben or Tri-State before then. I read a few years later that it was basically a Planet Asia album produced by Alchemist that went on to get Tri-State and Ben added to it later.

Has Durag Dynasty done anything since? I've heard a few things produced by Al and Just Blaze but not much else

No, they had a mixtape planned not too long after the album, maybe 2014 or 2015. Nothing happened.

Planet Asia said lately it was a one album thing.
Wasn't Killer Ben locked up too?

He did a pretty dope EP with Twiz the Beat Pro but I haven't heard much from him besides that.

I just remember they dropped this a few years ago. There was supposed to be another album that never dropped.

Three tracks ain't no EP. It's just 3 songs.
I'm being an a$$hole but most people these days use the term EP incorrectly. People (including me) for example are calling Plugs I Met an EP because it's only 6 tracks. But in reality for something to be an EP it has to do 3 things. It has to be more than a single, cannot be more than 4 tracks, and has to be shorter than 25 minutes.

So 3 tracks is pretty much a textbook EP, but we all (again I'm including myself here) just use the term EP wrong.
