Often under appreciated but never forgotten, Diamond D is easily one of the best producers on the mic. Whether you mess with his work from D.I.T.C or still bump 'Stunts, Blunts, & Hip Hop' on the regular, D is just as ambitious today, even with his OG status. Going for a remix that's reminiscent of The East Flatbush Project's "Tried By 12," his take on the Nitty Scott, MC featured "Boyz II Men" taken from Blu & Nottz' 2013 released 'Gods In The Spirit' EP, truly bears the Diggin' in the Crates Crew stamp of approval. Where the original version relied on triumphant horns, courtesy of Nottz, D ventures into a completely different direction, going for a minimalistic instrumental that still packs enough punch to cause a dizzy spell for any true head. Diamond D's remix of "Boyz II Men" is featured on the 'iTunes Deluxe Edition' of Coalmine Records' ten year anniversary compilation, 'Unearthed', as well as the CD and vinyl edition of 'Gods In The Spirit,' both of which are now available. Stay tuned for the complete full length of Blu & Nottz' collaborative efforts, with their forthcoming anthology, 'Gods In The Spirit, Titans In The Flesh.'

Another sneak peak of what's to come from Modern Vintage, the all new upcoming full length album from veteran emcee/visionary John Robinson and drummer/composer/producer PVD, which will be released on Brick Records on June 17th, 2014.  

Modern Vintage is the new collaboration album from veteran emcee John Robinson (aka Lil Sci of world renown Hip-Hop group Scienz Of Life) and prolific drummer, composer, producer and band-leader Pat Van Dkye (aka PVD).  John Robinson and PVD originally met at a show in 2008 and since then their chemistry has grown organically and has developed into the duo performing many formal shows together at venues like SOB’s, Blue Note NYC, LPR and others around the NY-NJ Tristate area. 

Modern Vintage spells out the approach in which this album was made from front to back:  The music was composed with a combination of modern technology software mixed with vintage synths and outboard gear, all blended seamlessly with live instrumentation being the foundation. The lyrics and concepts were all spontaneously crafted in the studio, session by session, by letting the soundscapes speak to the lyricist similar to how vintage recordings of the 60’s & 70’s were created. 
 
“I took a much more structured songwriting approach to the lyrics on this album; my goal from the beginning of making this record was to take advantage of the fact that I am working with PVD- a composer/musician and not just a beat maker/producer, which definitely makes this record different from my other releases.   This one is for all the true music lovers worldwide” says John Robinson. PVD states “making this record was a dream come true.  From the very first session, we set out to craft quality songs that capture a cohesive vibe and feel good.  In many cases, JR was writing to merely a sketch of what actually ended up on the record.  It felt great to work with an artist who trusted me enough to lend his talents to the music not knowing where I would take it sonically.  Live drums, keys, guitars, horns, and synths give this record a distinctly human feel that is present in all of my favorite records, old and new. A modern-day true Hip-Hop record, grounded firmly in the traditions of jazz, funk, and soul music.”
