All girl RnB groups were my jam in the nineties. After reading a bunch of favorable reviews for King's debut record it occurred to me that there really hasn't been an RnB girl group* that's not a bunch of cornballs post Destiny's Child. That's a long f**king time. Quest loves em, Erykah loves em, Prince loves em. I haven't gone too deep* but this video/song is dope though. I could see myself dancing to this at an afterhours party, slightly on the comedown, drifting in and out of hating and loving somebody. A+ for the Nintendo inspired visuals, reminds me of the hours I put into making Excitebike courses. Ramp after ramp after motherf**kin’ ramp.

Editor's Note: Did you hear this one? This sh*t is amazing.

I have no idea where I came across this right here but this sh*t is a heat rock as your mother allegedly used to say. All I know is that he's from arkansas and he's got a f**king hilarious moniker. These guys have to be on tour in this video, that's pretty much what our first canadian tour looked like. Except we had a bunch of south americans with us and everybody looked dead from consumption and sleep deprivation.

It's no secret that we here at hella.diamonds would all list Peedi Crakk in our Top 5 DOA. This opinion is supported by his inspired performances on some of the illest mixtape and radio freestyles ever recorded. It's been a minute since he's released anything new, stating in a recent-ish interview that he needed to step away from the game for awhile to take care of his family and grow up a little. Until that sorts itself out, whenever I need some grimy percocet rap, I'm in the archives. That's how I found...

THIS.

If rap had an all-star league with starting fives comprised of the top 5 rappers from each city, Peedi, Beanie, Black Thought, Meek Mill and Freeway would probably take Philly to the conference finals. Maybe win a ring or two with Big Willie Style behind the bench. Imagine if that was the lineup for State Property 2016? Someone get Dame on the phone. Until then this is the closest it'll get.

New york new york new york. Skinny played this the other night. This dude's name is highly googlable if you can remember how to spell it. If you can't remember how to spell it, forget about it, think of something else. I remember when cassidy was doing that battle and they had that piece of contemporary art disguised as a press conference where cassidy kept saying he was doing it for the chicken. That shit was great. I think this hook may take the crown for use of "chicken" though. You ever notice that all singing rappers can actually sing nowadays? They're more like singer/rappers, or if that phrasing strikes you as having negative implications, they're more like rapper/singers. I guess this isn't breaking news or anything, just something to think about as we all become victims of evolution.

I was in Jamaica recently and I kept seeing these anti-payola commercials on the local TV channels at the hotel. It makes you wonder when you look at the reggae charts and see that most of the joints take a long time to hit their peak and tend to stick around once they do. This song has been out for 7 months and is currently RISING on the Dancehall singles charts. Even if Donald Sangster had anything to do with it, shit's fire. Props to my man at 0:53 splitting up the takeout container. You got the right attitude kid. On another note, I once met a white guy* named Jahmiel in Alberta. He smoked hash oil and said that all of his days "started with a J and ended with a meal".

This is my favorite song from vince's last album. It's the first joint on the LP which kind of sucks. I mean the first joint being the best joint is a downer, where are we going from here and all that, know what I mean? I got to tell you though, I like a young dude making the remarks about white people and the word nigga. These young people really stay trying to convince us something's different and we don't get it, like no lil' nigga, you don't get it!

Skinny put me on to this track. I'm guessing homie's from dallas haha. I've never been to texas but I've always had the feeling it's my type of place. I mean we're talking downer drugs, scorching heat, chili, cacti, all that sh*t. Why don't more rappers throw distortion on their vocals? maybe some flanger or something, live a little.
