Diamond D – Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop T-Shirt

Description

Before D.I.T.C. was a name on a sticker, it was a crew huddled over a street dice game on the cover of Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop.

September 22, 1992. Chemistry and Mercury put out the debut from Diamond and the Psychotic Neurotics, and Diamond D proved the man behind the boards could hold the mic too. He produced most of it himself and pulled co-production from a who’s-who: Large Professor, Q-Tip, Showbiz, Jazzy Jay and the 45 King. “Best-Kept Secret,” “Sally Got a One Track Mind” and “What U Heard” were the singles, all dusty breaks and laid-back Bronx cool.

The jewel is in the guest list. This is one of the earliest places on wax you’ll hear Big L and Fat Joe da Gangsta, years before either one blew up. It’s the Diggin’ in the Crates blueprint, laid down years before the crew’s group album. “Sally” rides on Skull Snaps’ “It’s a New Day,” the same drum break crate-diggers have been chasing ever since. The Source put it on its 100 Best Rap Albums list in 1998.
