Once the pride and joy of the interwebs then like most things, LB became the poster child for hate. Well for those who enjoyed their work you’ll be able to hear them one more time on their final album “LeftBack.” Unfortunately you will not hear any 9th on this album but you will hear Khyrsis, Denaun Porter, Zo!, Symbolyc One, J. Bizness and King Karnov. Hate em or love em, you can’t deny that Phonte is nice with his. –Philaflava

Brand new Loverman Ro courtesy of Beanz N Cornbread, who are quickly becoming go to Texas beatsmiths. I wonder if this will end up on Relvis Presley, Barre Kelly, Cilly Dee Williams or Rother Vandross? (titles taken from wikipedia…)
This is a softball, but with these guys together it can’t help but win. Cool beat too. Hopefully this is an indication of a new album to come. Speakin’ Mannish was really, really good.
This is the first single from Devin’s Suite 420 album (to be released on April 20), produced by Reggie Coby of Dred Skott, first played by Matt Sonzala aka Pushermania on his AustinSurreal show on KAOS Radio Austin. Big props to him and to The Mayor Chump Change of the Philaflava Forums for the heads up.
It was only a matter of time until this happened. Bun B has become excellent at capitalizing on these opportunities. If you have no idea what the f this is about then click on the video below. –Philaflava

The group Diamond District is comprised of emcee/producer Oddisee, and emcees X.O. and YU. Greatly influenced by their surroundings and love for 90’s east coast hip-hop, Diamond District is on a mission to bring back the sounds of old with a new twist and represent for the DMV. X.O. who was born & raised in the North West quarter of D.C. defines what it is to be a black male raised in the district. With lyrics that depict street life and harsh surroundings, X.O. has a way of philosophizing that raw, gutter reality of DC life that is rarely looked at or spoken about when we discuss our nation’s capitol. Oddisee defines the experience of growing up in black middle class Maryland. Bordering the poverty that his and many other families fled to escape, they found out over time that the troubles of the inner city came along with them. Oddisee’s soulful, haunting samples over bass-heavy beat breaks create the perfect instrumentals for Diamond District to match the street savvy, politically conscious lyrics that capture the dynamic of being from the DMV. Y.U., having been raised in the district, Maryland & Virginia, brings that extra variety to the group and shows that D.C. culture has a huge influence beyond its 10 mile radius. Being that YU has lived in all areas of the DMV, his lyrics and stories compliment the rest of the group and define what it means to be from the DMV. In The Ruff, is available now via Mello Music Group.
