October's Diamond In The Rough

Some local DMV rappers are gonna be in da Washington Post dis Sunday so instead of picking myself like I had planned...LOL!!! I chose DMV Hip-Hop dis month's Diamond in da rough!!! Our home grown GoGo music has overshadowed us rappers here in DC, MD, & VA 4 so so long dat 4 a while it was as if we almost didn't even exist outchea...LOL!!! Since I graduated in da year 2000 not only did my family form The F.A.M., De-U Records, & EduBasics dat year but also since dat time it seems like dis area has been making major strides further & further every year since da dawning of dis Century. Hense my lyrics..."If it happens like it's meant 2 be...then DC & PG run dis Century!!!"

July's Diamond in the Rough

It was only right...lol!!! Seriously thow dis CD fits da definition of a DC "diamond in the rough" in many more ways than just da title similarities. Not too many DC, MD, or VA rappers have managed 2 get over 10,000 downloads...shit a mere 1,000 downloads is really a big accomplishment out here!!! I think dis joint is somewhere past da 15,000 mark right about now so dat says alot since it just dropped dis summer. "Numbers don't lie people do" so stop faking wit U're self & get hip!!! It's a serious movement going on outchea in da district but it's F.R.N.O.!!!

Keep U're personal life, issues, & problems away from dis place because 4 many of us outchea it's all about take'n care of business slim...PLEASE no more BS allowed in dis club!!!

February's Diamond in the Rough

Dis is da second installment of De-U.c.e. Double's Diamond in da Rough. Dis is an on goin' monthly blog post dat will feature somethin' special from in or around da diamond district. Dis month I choose Club Pure's open mic mondays. Dis open mic night was hailed in Billboard Magazine as 1 of da premiere locations in da area 2 find quality musicians, poets, & comedians. Club Pure is a place where many local & national artists such as Raheem DeVaughn & Tabi Bonney got their start back when it was know as Bar Nun. A lotta videos have been filmed live from dis club & all around da surrounding U street corridor. If U're not from anywhere in or around our area peep out da pics above & footage below 2 get a feel 4 da average atmosphere dat's in & around open mic mondays @ Club Pure. Videos swindled courtesy of Judah's blog FTDMVO in association wit Jben.ok...enjoy!!!
