Diamond D has to be one of the most slept on artists..he's constantly put out quality music

[Breakbeats.]

In college my man Walt used to say, "my cousin Diamond D is going to come down here for a show, I'll introduce you to him." I'm like, "yea right and I'm the Easter Bunny." A few weeks later a Range Rover pulls up and the passenger side door opens up and sitting there is Diamond D! I was buggin, D was mad cool, he had a huge smile on his face and he gave me a pound before they took off. I must have stood there for a few minutes thinking, "did that just happen?"

Diamond is definitely one of my influences. The "Stunts" album changed the way I made beats in my head back then. Way before I had equipment. True Pioneer. Keep em coming. Peace...Netm8kr
