Dillon & Diamond D – Uncut Gems [Video]

New sights and sounds from Dillon & Diamond D by way of the video for “Uncut Gems“ – a track that brings forth a chill, laid-back atmosphere, painting a vivid picture of their corner of the rap world. It’s a journey reflected upon and lived in real-time as both artists toast to life with family and friend at a rooftop party. Dillon & Diamond‘s bravado-tinged voices glide smoothly over the head-nodding beat while living it up with other indie hip-hop luminaries like 4-IZE, Stacy Epps, Dynas, Apani B. and more.

This laid-back joint subtly pulses with crisp drums, a rumbling bass line, a mellow Hammond B-3 sample loop, and teasing synths, providing a perfect canvas for their “brush ya shoulders off” rhymes. The lyrics relate the struggles, hardships and victories experienced by the duo. It’s an often-told tale of persisting against all odds, as encapsulated in Dillon‘s line “My obstacles were an impossible size, but I persisted because the greater the risk, the more colossal the prize.”

The track offers a snapshot into Dillon and Diam‘s worldview, dealing with the jealousy and hate that they face on their climb to the top. But, far from being brought down by these challenges, our duo keeps their eyes on the prize, relentlessly finessing their sound, always grounded in their grassroot vibes. No detours, no pretense, just a steadfast dedication to their game and truly dope music.
