Diamond District March On Washington

The trio of Diamond District – rapper-producers yU and Oddisee and rapper X.O. – made a considerable splash with underground heads and music critics in 2009 with their debut, In The Ruff. We at Prefix especially loved their crunchy, gritty production and honest, biting lyricism, which also translated quite well in concert. Even though all three are considerably busy on their own, they found time to link up again for a sequel, 2011's March On Washington. Expect more raw beats from Oddisee and plenty of fierce rhymes from him, yU, and X.O. about life in the DMV, which is the confluence of Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
