Classic Shit!

I've decided to post an album a day or so that I (and probably others) would consider to be classic material. Most will be albums you are likey to have heard about or listened to but some you may not. Listen to the tracks and if you like what your hearing buy the album. For starters...

Diamond & The Psychotic Neurotics - Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop



Released in 1992, Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop was Diamond D's first album. As well as providing verses, Diamond also did most of the production for the album. Apart from Diamond, it features production from the likes of Showbiz, Large Professor, Q-Tip and DJ Mark the 45 King. In terms of lyrics, there are guest appearances from Big L and Fat Joe, both fellow D.I.T.C rappers, and a few others.

This album is a favourite of mine because Diamond's production is of a different style to other classic albums from that period. The production on Diamond's album is dope. Tracks that particularly stand out are 'Sally Got A One Track Mind', a classic on it's own, production and verses from Diamond. 'I Went For Mine', produced by Jazzy Jay has a great laid back beat. 'Check One, Two', Production from Diamond and 45 King. Im also a fan of 'I'm Outta Here' with guest producer Showbiz, and some nice lyrics from Diamond. Lastly 'Freestyle' is well worth listning to for the production from Large Professor.
Great Album for your library, check it out.

Keep lookin out for more D.I.T.C material that I'll post soon - J
