I first heard about this project when I met up with K-Murdock and Raw-P for our interview down at the XM headquarters in DC. Now, almost a year later, K-Murdock is prepping to officially release the project, and its sounding pretty amazing. The concept is pretty simple: keyboard samples on every track. And while the [...]
Here is a brand new free album from D.C. native XO. If you’re a fan of the Diamond District, you will probably like most of this project. XO does what he usually does on the mic. He delivers. Most of the production on this project is done by Oddisee and AB the Producer, so make [...]
This is the first single from XO’s upcoming 1-1-10 which drops New Years Day. XO goes in on some real slick production from AB the Producer for a real winning track. And XO reps DC to the fullest in the video with some DURKL and Major action with his wardrobe. Get ready for 1-1-10 because [...]
This is the last video XO will be dropping for tracks off his latest work, Monumental. It’s particularly fitting cause this was hands down my favourite joint on the project, with a beat that EmAy described as “flawless.” The video, directed by Kenny Burns, takes the viewer on a dark tour of Uptown DC. If [...]
J-$crilla pulled in all the big guns for this. Some of DCs finest lyrical talent on this track from his Culture of Honor mixtape. So of course he had to recruit Seannie Cameras to do the video. The video itself shows off what DC has to offer in terms of locations, art, fashion, and cameos [...]
Today marks the official release of Diamond District’s debut album, In the Ruff. Which means you need to grab your cash and head out to your local record shop ASAP. You already know this is one of the best albums of the year, so you don’t need me to tell you. The other day they [...]
Nice visuals to accompany the semi-title track off of Kev’s latest, Random Joints. If you haven’t PURCHASED this album, make sure you fix that reeeal quick. Peep the video to see cameos from DC’s finest (to many to list). And if you’re not familiar with DC, that’s the Adams Morgan area, where shit gets Kragenoff™. [...]
VIMBY – Cant Stop Wont F Stop Recently an event, Can’t Stop Won’t F-Stop, took place at Dhalak in DC. The event helped showcase the DC hip hop scene through photo. And now, the event itself is being used as a lens through which you can see some of the stuff happening in DC right [...]
Great time down at Comet Ping Pong. I met up with some of the fams (shoutout to Theodor3, Feldy, and Damu), bought some great records, and enjoyed some delicious pizza. At the time I was worried about overspending, but in retrospect, I wish I had copped more. Oh well, always next time! peace, -the judge
DC based clothing brand Durkl have always been a Vinyl Meltdown favourite. Their pairing of quality garments, bold designs, and attention to detail has always impressed me. But their new Fall season looks like it’s their best collection yet. They definitely toned some of the brightness down, and are focusing on great accents. I think [...]
