URB.com, Fat Beats and Audible Treats Present: Diamond District in "The PJ's"

Enter The 37th Chamber is available at iTunes.

Diamond District & El Michels Remix - "The PJ's" mp3

El Michels Affair did "Enter The 37th Chamber", which was an instrumental album, consisting of re-workings of the Wu-Tang Clan's, "Enter The Wu (36 Chambers)" by the outfit.

Now El Michels Affair's album gets a re-working. URB.com., Fat Beats and Audible Treats team up to put dope emcees over dope beats, hence, Enter The 38th Chamber.

This is the first single off of that remix album.

Audible Treats is making moves!

Diamond District - "Make It Clear(Remix)" + "The Ruff" Instrumentals Album

New album The Ruff available at iTunes.

Diamond District - "Make It Clear (Remix)" mp3

This is the first in a series of remixes from the Virgina/D.C./Maryland trio. Looking for that instrumentals version of The Ruff ?

It's here: click this link to purchase The Ruff Instrumentals

I can't be sure, but, that remix to 'Make It Clear" sounds like some good chops on Sly Stone's "It's A Family Affair"... anyway... listening to the way the vocals are delivered and the production of the track pushes the emcees along, this sounds like a modern classic.

With the two emcee, one DJ (who rhymes) dynamic, many will compare them to Slum Village, but, Diamond District reminds me of groups like Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth, Brand Nubian and The Dogg Pound.

They have great chemistry and you find yourself not only listening to what they say, but, the slick ways they deliver the rhymes. Each delivery is different, yet, they fit well together.

The video below makes my point:
