Diamond D - Bad/Good
The video for “Bad/Good” takes it back to that golden age feel. With no bling, no cars, and no video girls, Diamond reminds us what it was like growing up in the hood. The simple aesthetic of the video, paired with endearing portraits of kids from around the Bronx evokes a feeling not often remembered in today’s hip-hop culture.
Good Music. I think Imma have to throw up an old Diamond D joint just because.

True Hip-Hop Stories: The Homeless Emcee
This is the story of a homeless rapper I met on the streets of Brooklyn. There's a part of me feels for him because it's quite obvious he suffered a great deal as a child. But it's hard to show sympathy for a man who has lived life the way he has. I guess everyone deserves to be forgiven.
D-Nice,as usual, coming with an intriguing story.
