Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop is the 1992 debut album from hip hop producer/emcee Diamond D, released with his crew the Psychotic Neurotics. The album features some of the earliest appearances from Diamond‘s later D.I.T.C. partners Big L and Fat Joe, as well as production from popular beatmakers such as Large Professor, Q-Tip and DJ Mark the 45 King.
The samples that make up this album are simply amazing. What you have here is over 2 1/2 hours worth of quality music of soul, funk, and jazz. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon. After you’re done listening to this, wipe the dust off your old Diamond D album and give that a spin.
