Ahh, never mind what week it says on the calendar and what week we're in on 52 Pick Up. The most important thing here kids is that Jeff Spec continues to drop more quality music.

What I'm Watching: The BenchWarmers Clique - "Ugly"

New video from The BenchWarmers off their "Ugly" project they released at the end of last year. This joint has my head noddin' instantly. Easily a replayable track, and I have already played it 3 times, "Ugly" is the kind of Hip-Hop album I can simply chill to, take a ride to, do whatever to honestly. You can name your price on the joint that also comes with instrumentals. How can you beat that?! Check it.

Diamond District - "First Step"

Finally! Diamond District is back. Oddisee, yU, and Uptown XO come out swinging on this hard hitting track off "March On Washington". Can't say enough great things about the production Oddisee brings to the table. Add XO and yU to the mix and you get an explosive sound that reverberates from the states to overseas. Nothing short of dope on this single. Check it.

From the upcoming return of Diamond District "March On Washington" October 14th. Diamond District is yU, Oddisee, and Uptown XO. Produced by Oddisee.

When Diamond District dropped In the Ruff on Mello Music Group in 2009, the gritty drums and grimy raps combined as elementally as hydrogen and oxygen. The D.C. Voltron of Oddisee, yU, and X.O. dusted off and revitalized a sound once consigned to the catacombs.

Hailed as an instance classic, its impact reverberated throughout the underground and mainstream. The Washington D.C. City Paper called it the city’s best album in many years. During an era when lyricism was deemed too intellectual and samples too dated,Diamond District overturned conventional logic. They preserved the raw and made it righteous.

A half-decade later, the holy trinity has returned with March on Washington. The truths remain timeless. Wisdom over rhythm. Slang turned into testament.



Preorder: Diamond District - "March On Washington"

Download: MacGuyver - " SummerBreak Vol​.​2 (Back 2 School)"

MacGuyver drops a quick 7 track EP to get you motivated for his upcoming album with this second installment to his mixtape series. Summer isn't quite over yet and with the temperature getting back to normal for now, it's a perfect time to download this joint and travel through the mind of MacGuyver during his summer break and vibe to the stories he's spitting on this. Check it.

Prolific lyricist MacGuyver drops the second body of work in his "Summer Break" mixtape series. The first tape dropped a year ago and provided the people with alternatives to the commercial hype most summer singles tend to provide. MacGuyver's lyrics are poignant and thought provoking yet relative to all walks of life. The success and positive feedback from the previous edition has prompted him to give the people more of what they want this summer with "Summer Break Vol. 2 (Back 2 School)". He has spared no expense with choice beats and smooth cadence. His flow is reminiscent of early New York favorites yet his heart and talents lie right here in the DMV. The beauty of this precursor is that the addiction will not have a chance to grow cold. His album "Immaculate" is set to drop early 2015. In the meantime, pacify yourself with dope beats, dope lyrics, and that original summertime feeling. Unscrew the hydrants, fire up the grill one last time, and blast "Summer Break Vol. 2 (Back 2 School)".
