First Time

"In The Ruff is the highly anticipated debut album from new DC hip hop

group The Diamond District, created by state veterans Oddisee, X.O.

& YU. In The Ruff is the answer for any lover of hip hop who asks the

question - Where did that grimy East coast sound go?

The group was founded by rapper/ producer Oddisee, who has a long list

of production & collaboration credits with the likes of Freeway, Talib

Kweli, Siagon, Little Brother, Trek Life, Charles Hamilton, Jazzy Jeff, Buck

Shot, Royce the 5′9, Nikki jean, Muhsinah, J-live, Lil Fame of MOP,

Skyzoo and many more. Oddisees soulful, haunting samples over bass-

heavy beat breaks create the perfect instrumentals for him, XO & YU to

match with their street savvy, politically conscious lyrics.
