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
