DIAMOND D

Legendary emcee, producer, deejay and founding member of legendary New York crew, Diggin' In The Crates (D.I.T.C.) Diamond D has contributed his trademark style to some of the most iconic records in hip-hop including The Fugees' "The Score," and A Tribe Called Quest's "The Low End Theory" and many more. In 1992, he recorded his first solo album, the hip hop classic, "Stunts, Blunts& Hip-Hop" which shifted upwards of 105,000 units.

Following this success Diamond D lent his production skills to A-list independent talent as: Mos Def, Xzibit, Pharaoh Monch, KRS-One, House of Pain, the Pharcyde, Sadat X & many more.

His second solo offering,1997's "Hatred, Passions & Infidelity," featured appearances from such luminaries as Busta Rhymes, Phife Dawg and Pete Rock.

From there he went on to establish “Diggin In The Crates” as a collective of the most talented producers and MC’s in New York through combining the skills of the likes of Showbiz & AG, Big L, Fat Joe, Buckshot & DJ Premier into a Hip-Hop dream team that produced underground club bangers for fun.

Diamond D returns with his latest joint "The Hugh Hefner Chronicles" a rare and coveted glimpseinto the life of an industry veteran, with a little help from Sadat X and production by Nottz,DJ Scratch, J Dilla, illmindz & 45 King.

SADAT X

Few artists in hip-hop have afforded the longevity that Sadat X has. Unmoved by an inevitable changing of the guard in Rap, the X-Man remains a beacon of true, un-facsimiled artistry. In so many words, he sits atop the lists of your favorite rappers favorite rapper.

Its like his time as a child confined to the other side of the street or his uncles car, watching Cold Crush or Kool Herc park jams, molded Sadat into the respected person & and wholly unique emcee he is today.

Where so many of his peers have faded into obscurity, his undeniable twang has commanded songs not just as 1/3rd of the fabled Brand Nubian but alongside legends from Jay Z, Notorious B.I.G., Nas, & Common (to name a few) has seen his light keep shining. His popularity is still undeniable as he has been tapped by the likes of popular singer/songwriter Jack Johnson, legendary House-producer Miguel Migs and old-schooler MC Lyte all in recent months for collaborations on their respected albums.Having already wowed The Doctor’s Order’s faithful at On The Real he is back in London once more to throw it down as only the Wild Cowboy can.
