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 [...]
Oddisee uploaded this video of him and the rest of Diamond District going in acapella with some exclusive verses. All around great stuff, but as with anything hip hop, there’s inherently always gonna be a competition. So I’m gonna go ahead and give it up to yU on this one. But XO and Odd really [...]

For those who don’t know Slimkat78, he’s done stuff for Musinah, Bilal Salaam, Diamond District, Finale, and is one half of the 1978ers with yU. If those credits aren’t enough for you, then download the mix to be convinced. [...]
DMV area MC/Producer Charlie Ross comes out of nowhere and drops this gem he recorded in 2007 in Okinawa, Japan. To be honest, this is the first I’ve heard of dude (that I can remember at least) but hopefully it won’t be the last. The project is presented by yU of Diamond District, which is [...]
