• HNHH Exclusive Q&A/Interview: http://bit.ly/Zo6tsG

As rap takes new forms with its various players and influencers, it's important to pay dues to those who've paved the way. While some will disregard this rule in favor of ignorant ideals, those who make it aware that they stand on the shoulders of giants will more often than not last longer than the one hit wonders and trend followers. If you rep the East Coast and can relate to the hustle and struggle of cats like Diabolic, then allow Fightin Words to be the soundtrack to get you to where you're headed. Part razor sharp rhymes and part sinister sounding beats, this album will speak volumes to underground heads both old and new, as Diabolic speaks his story, even if the Long Island emcee has to make some enemies in the process.   

Released through his own War Horse Records label, 'Fightin Words' is Diabolic's attempt to claim the throne. With a history of battle rapping against underground favorites such as Immortal Technique and Rhymefest, Diabolic concocts a lethal dose of Hip-Hop on an LP that finds the LI native joined by Sean Price, R.A. The Rugged Man, Vinnie Paz, Apathy, Celph Titled, Locksmith, Nino Bless, Coast, amongst others, with production credits from the likes of DJ Premier, The Snowgoons, Brooklyn's 5th Seal, and more. Fans of Wu Tang Clan's Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) will appreciate the well-placed opening samples which are akin to The RZA's method of production. 'Fightin Words' is now available through iTunes via digital download, or through Fat Beats, on either CD or 2xLP.

Press Quotes: 
• "Readers have been loving them some Diabolic as of late, giving the emcee their blessing with back-to-back VERY HOTTTT ratings…" -HotNewHipHop

• "The Suffolk County emcee is getting ready for his album, 'Fightin Words,' and if you haven’t heard of him already from the Billboard charts or the HHUG awards, this is a good place to start." -The Source

• "R.A. the Rugged Man and Diabolic are spiritual blood brothers (emphasis on "blood" here) on "Suffolk's Most Wanted," trading antisocial bars full of barbed wire over production from German neo-boom-bappers Snowgoons."  -NOISEY

• "Broadcasting from a base in Long Island, Diabolic etched his mark on the underground's rap scene with 2010's Liar & A Thief long-player. Now the MC is gearing up for the release of his Fightin' Words album…" -Village Voice

• "It’s a Long Island thing on Diabolic’s newest single from his upcoming Fightin Words LP.RA the Rugged Man joins him for some ferocious and aggressive bars over a driving Snowgoons beat." -RESPECT.

• "Whenever I see a new joint from the legendary DJ Premier, I'll drop everything to check it out, especially if the homie Diabolic delivers the bars." -Earmilk

• "Diabolic and Preem mastermind a crime wave." -egotripland

• "When it comes to hip-hop, eastern Long Island is thoroughly overshadowed by the neighboring boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. Which is a damn shame, because it’s produced some downright phenomenal underground talent. For proof, look no further than Suffolk’s Most Wanted, the latest single off Diabolic‘s next full-length." -DJBooth.net

• "In one of those benchmark career moments, Diabolic links with DJ Premier for one of those vice-grip tracks, “Diabolical Sound.” -Ambrosia for Heads

• "As the legendary Preemo builds upon his signature style to create a sinister anthem akin to what brought him to the forefront of the game during the genre’s Golden Era, Diabolic delivers bar after bar of creative genius that runs circles around your typical radio rapper’s cookie-cutter rhyme scheme." -Wax Poetics

Celph Titled (USA)

The over-the-top, bazooka wielding action star of hip hop, word master Celph Titled began his professional entrance into the rap game as a teenage lyricist and local production staple during the late 90's indie 12-inch vinyl boom. 

After relocating to New York City, fresh out of high school, he began working as an in-house producer and A&R. All of Celph's early records were released on vinyl, including tracks from his original group, Equilibrium, and singles from career-long partner-in-rhyme, Apathy. He has been the leading member of two legendary crews, The Demigodz and Jedi Mind Tricks' Army of the Pharaohs collective and has become well known for his standout quotable-filled performances and hard-hitting East Coast-style production featured on the crews' respective blockbuster releases. Notably, in 2004 Celph featured on Australia’s own Terntable Jediz "All Out War EP" title track. 

In 2005, he was invited to be an official part of the Fort Minor project, which was executive produced by Jay-Z, which lead to a nationwide tour with Fort Minor in 2006. Since then, Celph has released a unique compilation entitled, "The Gatalog"; a four-disc set which captured a long discography of Celph's guest appearances and freestyles, going all the way back to his early releases from 1998. This is still a top-seller to date! He subsequently worked with 'Diggin' In The Crates (D.I.T.C.)' multi-platinum producer, Buckwild, on his critically acclaimed 2010 debut solo album, "Nineteen Ninety Now".

Now embarking on a focused solo career with over ten years of industry know-how, respect, international touring and die hard loyal fans, the "Celph"-made independent pastor of punch lines sets out to solidify his stamp on the scene as a major factor once and for all. Celph is sure to knock out Aussie fans with newcomer, and leading emcee in his own right, Blacastan.

Action Bronson (USA)

Qualified chef-turned-rapper from Queens, New York, newcomer Action Bronson has built up a loyal following since he decided to leave the kitchen for a recording studio only 18 months ago. However, the man Rolling Stone magazine recently called the “Artist to Watch” didn’t stray too far from the kitchen, as he is well known for rapping about his culinary delights. His experiences lend a unique flavour to his rhymes, where you’ll find witty mentions of duck prosciutto, Tunisian olives, smoked brisket and other delicacies along with vivid imagery of a modern-day Viking pillaging his way across New York.

Actions recently released debut studio album “Dr. Lecter”, (which is available via digital download) has been described as “a peppery stew of food jokes, weed talk and pro wrestling shout-outs” drizzled liberally over his producer/DJ pal Tommy Mas’ deft boom-bap loops, akin to the classics from the late 80’s / early 90’s Hip Hop era. Action delivers a variety of techniques that are far beyond the capacity of someone who only picked-up the pen a mere three years ago.

It’s impossible to hear Action Bronson’s music without noticing that he sounds a lot like the Wu-Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah. Bronson is by no means a copycat, but the resonance and urgency of his delivery could sound very similar to those of the Staten Island originator. Featuring on Wu-Tang Clan’s recently released “Legendary Weapons”, Ghost and Bronson appear on a track together, titled “Meteor Hammer”, with Boston MC, Termanology. Critics are adamant that it is pretty easy to tell the two apart.

Action is suited to release an album “Well Done”, which was entirely produced by New York’s Statik Selektah, and includes special guest emcees. Don't miss the rapping powerhouse on his Australian debut tour, where he'll be spitting his catalogue of beefy verbal treats, with Tommy Mass bringing the tasty noise on the 1's and 2's!

Brad Strut (AU)

A prolific wordsmith and integral member of Melbourne crew Lyrical Commission, Brad Strut has been fine tuning his craft and contributing to the growth and evolution of Australian Hip Hop since the early ‘90s and has created for himself, a rock solid position in the Australian Hip Hop scene. With numerous releases since 2001 and a who’s who of collaborations, this groundbreaking artist featured on Jurrasic 5’s DJ Numark’s mix CD, “Hand’s On” and also worked with the infamous Australian criminal identity Mark Brandon ‘Chopper’ Read on the track “Chop Chop” for the soundtrack to the movie Trojan Warrior.

There is no disputing that Brad is an accomplished live performer, as he has shared the stage with the likes of Tha Liks, Hilltop Hoods, Eternia, Apathy, Kool Keith, The Roots, Swollen Members, A-Trak, Aceyalone, Foreign Legion, People Under The Stairs to name a few, and has also played all major Australian festivals such as Livid and the Big Day Out.
