Interview by Spitty

We recently traveled up to New York to link with legendary rapper, producer and songwriter , Diamond D for a special Fat Beats Edition of “Off The Porch”. Currently celebrating the release of his new album The Diam Piece 3:Duo During our chat, he told us how growing up in The Bronx, he had a front row seat to the beginning of Hip-Hop. Diamond D told us how he started out with graffiti tagging, pop locking, and dj’n, all before he ever laid a song down. D shares his influences with us saying that it was the legendary DJ Jazzy Jay that inspired D to actually start producing music.
Diamond shares how The Diggin In The Crates crew actually came about and how he met Big L, how he came up with Fat Joe, Grand Puba, Lord Finesse, Buckwild, OC, and Show Biz and shares a story of how he ended up being featured on the legendary A Tribe Called Quest’s Low End Theory album, and how that look was the perfect set up for his debut album.
He told us about one night at The Tunnel when he had a conversation with Wyclef. That conversation would turn into Diamond D producing "The Score" from The Fugees album of that same title.
Diamond D shares a story of when he was in Atlanta and in the car with Pac when he shot at two off duty police officers harassing a black man on the side of the road. Speaking of Atlanta, he also talked about working with the infamous Dungeon Family for the TLC creep remix and Outkast’s Southernplayalisticcadillacmusik remix.
D also dropped game and gems about taking care of your paperwork and business in this music industry. Things like making sure you have the right lawyers and deals. He also gave us some insight on how producers have to clear samples. As well how producers get creative to avoid all the troubles of sample clearing. D gave us his perspective on how AI in music can be used for good or bad.
