Diamond District are: Oddisee, X.O. & YU. - New album is called: In The Ruff
Back to Basics
"In The Ruff is the highly anticipated debut album from new DC hip hop
group The Diamond District, created by state veterans Oddisee, X.O.
& YU. In The Ruff is the answer for any lover of hip hop who asks the
question - Where did that grimy East coast sound go?
The group was founded by rapper/ producer Oddisee, who has a long list
of production & collaboration credits with the likes of Freeway, Talib
Kweli, Siagon, Little Brother, Trek Life, Charles Hamilton, Jazzy Jeff, Buck
Shot, Royce the 5′9, Nikki jean, Muhsinah, J-live, Lil Fame of MOP,
Skyzoo and many more. Oddisees soulful, haunting samples over bass-
heavy beat breaks create the perfect instrumentals for him, XO & YU to
match with their street savvy, politically conscious lyrics.

@kawa915 Not a track...It's the interlude beat used throughout the album for each rapper to get their solo shine on....It's sick though right??? This album was so incredible that even the interludes are quotable.

Why is this beat so ill?
Reminds me so much of that real gritty 90'-96' East coast hip hop era. Damn I miss those days.
