My original intentions were to post Diamond District’s Diamond Exchange mixtape a few days ago, around the same time Oddisee’s seasonal instrumental tape got posted. But I got sidetracked and ended up listening for dolo, forsaking you guys. Before time passes me by again, here’s “Hologram,” the first single off their upcoming In The Ruff release. Sporting a woozy beat and lyrics centered around life’s cold hard facts, it’s winter music for those who rock earmuff headphones will trooping the streets.
At a certain point, I’d be wise to smarten up regarding the sounds of this DMV crew, as they’ve been consistently shittin’ on the game for a minute now.

My Album of the Year 2009
Yo dope album, fo’ real. Anyone got the last word(s) in this bar -
Heard noises, some young head always under assumption
the reaper was coming, in a form of the gunman
so he kept one hand in the dresser
in case the tester try to come in unannounced
