DIAMOND DISTRICT - "Lost Cause"

Diamond District (Oddisee, yU and X.O.) opens up a whole can of beautifully chopped up hip-hop soul with "Lost Cause", the second single from their long awaited sophomore album. "March Washington" drops via Mello Music Group and will undoubtedly find its way to my record collection on October 14.

DIAMOND DISTRICT - "First Step"

This is somethign I've been eagerly anticipating for a few years now - I was absolutely blown away by Washington DC trio Diamond District's (Oddisee, yU, XO) debut album "In The Ruff" back in 2009, and since then I really been fiending for a proper follow-up. Now it's completed, set for release, the tracklist and cover art has been released and now the first single - "First Step" - has dropped, and it's sounding GOOD.

[Video] Uptown XO - "Everyday"

Uptown XO returns with another video from his dope 2013 LP, "Colour de Grey". "Everyday" is produced by AB The Pro, and directed by Creative Junkfood... Pick up the album on CD or wax from UGHH.com if you haven't already.

Uptown XO - "Evolution"

"Evolution" is the latest single from Diamond District's Uptown XO, lifted from his very dope "Colour de Grey". The AB The Pro produced album was released earlier this year, grab the digital version from iTunes or the CD @ UGHH.

[VIDEO] Uptown XO - "Spread Love"

The second cut from Uptown X.O.'s slamming "Colour de Grey" LP gets the visual treatment. If you have yet to check out the album, "Spread Love" is a good introduction so let it BANG! Produced by AB The Pro, just like the rest of the album.

[Album/Stream] Uptown X.O. - "Colour de Grey"

Uptown X.O., one third of the trio Diamond District who made a heavy impact on me with their 2009 debut "In The Ruff", is releasing his solo album "Colour de Grey" via Mello Music Group/Fat Beats today. The album doesn't pack any big name guests but X.O. and his proucer A.B. The Pro does a great job holding down the fourteen tracks by themeselves; vivid lyrics that range from self-reflecting to political over hard drums and sample based music that aims to respect the roots of vintage hip-hop is usually a recipe for great music if the artists are talented and dedicated. And so is the case, stream the album below (thanks to DJBooth)  and order the CD here.

Uptown XO of Diamond District - "RUGGED"

Uptown XO of Diamond District is gearing up to release the solo album "Colour de Grey" via Mello Music Group next year. The ill joint you hear/see above, however, will appear on the pre-tape "The Color Gray" which should be out soon "RUGGED" features guest apperances from Obi Say and Awthentik and production by AB The Pro.
