DIAMOND
HATRED, PASSIONS AND INFIDELITY
MERCURY

A Good Solid LP
Diamond Brings Out NY's Underground

The word around town is that Diamond is niot really feeling his own album.. In fact he's currently hard at work re doing the entire project..Well I can't really say whether or not Diamond reached his full potential.. To me, the album is pretty good.. What I like most about it is the fact that he gives you an uncelebrated, un-hyped excursion to NY's underground... He personifies what hip hop music should ideally be about- a reflection on someone's culture, musical taste and current lifestyle... Diamond paints some vivid pictures over some nice beats that paints a certain mood.. a New York type of mood... One of the things I really like about Diamond is that utilizes samples that you don't hear in every
