i saw this a couple weeks ago, but work prevented me from throwing this your way sooner.
the diamond district is a hip hop group comprised of oddisee, X.O., and yU. all DMV representers brought together through music. oddisee is the person who decided to form this trio, from what i understand. he produces and raps, and does both incredibly. i first heard about him through the now-defunct scratch magazine. i feel like his whole approach to music is so different to everyone else in the area. he’s been a head figure in the DMV movement years before i knew the scene really existed, and has been patiently waiting, perfecting his craft, until now. i think anybody who cares about good, traditional hip-hop should watch this. it gives a lot of insight into the DMV scene, and offers a glimpse of each of the rapper’s everyday lives. pretty polished if you ask me.
wow. nice, right?! right. jam the first single, producded by oddisee and featuring verses from X.O. and yU.

bonus points if you know whose voice they sample on the hook. i think it says in the documentary, but i can’t remember. the project drops april 14 as a free download on their site, which you can check out here. i’ll remind you when that day comes, but i know you won’t forget.

really, no one’s commented on this yet? It sounds like ODB to me.

oddisee is part of the low budget crew, who cats should look up, for real. they’re a huge part of the maryland underground and they make awesome music. oddisee, kev brown, cy young, etc, look the whole crew up.
y.u. was part of a crew called the remainz in the 90′s. mister hu a.k.a. dirty ice was the producer in the remainz and also produced the urban ave 31 mixtapes that raheim has put out. y.u. makes beats now and is one of the sickest rhymers that came out the area.
x.o. is the young gunner in the crew, uptown representer. he’s a great spitter in his own right. peep the realmatic mixtape he recently dropped.
this is definitely a group folk need to get familiar with.
LOL @ “Obama lives right there, by the way”. Ha!
