From MP:
First off let me say that Diamond District’s “In The Ruff” was one of my favorite albums of 2009. Props to Oddisee, YU and X.O. for making a bangin album.
If you don’t have that you’re f*ckin up tremendously. Support that album!
When Oddisee asked me to remix something I knew I had to bring the heat. Hopefully you dig what I came up with.
Shylow on the scratches.
This remix will also be included on “The Stupendous Adventures of Marco Polo” which drops this June on Duck Down. It will include remixes, unreleased songs and rare productions of mine, so look out for that this summer.

VIDEO:Oddisee & Diamond District, Part 1
October 24, 2009
If I have to tell you who Oddisee is then you’re really on the wrong site. One of my favorite producers on the mic came through my noisy office with his partner Y.U. to drop some jewels diamonds about sampling technique and his new Diamond District project. If you weren’t smart fast enough to cop the free download earlier in the year then you need to lay down the dollars for the retail version. I promise you it’s worth every penny. Samples in the clip.
“I was pushed into production in order to make a living from music…” -Oddisee
