I might have slept on the Diamond District album, but you won’t catch me sleeping twice. I found two new albums from Washington DC rapper/producer Oddisee. The first one is called “Odd Winter” and you can get it for free from his bandcamp page. Odd Winter is a part of a series, and the other parts Odd Autumn and Odd Summer can also be downloaded from his bandcamp site. However the real gem has to be “Traveling Man” which you should go and buy from iTunes.
Considering how long I lived in Washington DC I ashamed that I slept on this album for so long. Diamond District’s “In The Ruff” is some real good classic 90’s boom-bap sounding hip-hop. It’s a fantastic record that any hip-hop head should go and check out. Check out Diamond District’s blog for more information on the group and make sure to check out the album.
Music video for J-$crilla’s “No Love” from his debut album “Culture of Honor.” Buy the album on iTunes or Amazon, and keep up with Inner Loop Records. They’re doing big things and working hard to put Washington DC on the map.
Inner Loop Records is an independent record label out of Washington DC that’s been dropping the best concept mix tapes for a couple of years now. They started with the “Raise The Hammer” series where they remixed the latest hits with their own beats. Then they dropped two remake album, one for Nas’s Illmatic and the other for Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt, reworking the beats with rappers from DC reinterpreting the lyrics. Now they bring you K-Beta’s 89 to 09 mix tape.
K-Beta, a part of Inner Loop Records, is by far one of the dopest rappers to come out of Washington DC. On this mix tape he gets real serious, giving you a history lesson in Hip-Hop starting back in 89 reinterpreting classics all the way to the present. It’s because K-Beta is such a dope rapper that this tape works. With a weaker rapper it would be too easy to get caught comparing the songs to their originals. That’s not the case on this one, Beta can rap and he carries this tape from start to finish.
You can follow Inner Loop Records on their blog: Inner Loop Uncut and you can follow K-Beta on twitter: twitter.com/K_BETA. I’ll close this out by saying that this mix tape is vicious, it’s free, and it’s better that 99% of the shit that’s out there for sale. Needless to say go and download it now!
