DIAMOND DISTRICT – I MEAN BUSINESS (YU REMIX)

I hope you mogs were smart enough to take my advice and cop that Diamond District album. Ask anyone who’s heard it or seen Oddissee, X.O., and yU perform and they’ll tell you, they mean biz (no pun intended.) To celebrate the release of the instrumental version of the already highly acclaimed album In The Ruff, Diamond District is proud to release the “I Mean Business” yU Remix. Produced by fellow group member yU, this track is reminiscent of the 90’s East Coast hip-hop that the DMV-based trio has often credited as a major influence on their sound.

This joint they just laid in the inbox is something crazy, the fuck I look like NOT putting up the heat right? This joint is called Who I Be, and it’s got the ODB sample in it for the chorus for all you purists! Partake!
