In The Ruff is the highly anticipated debut album from new DC hip hop group “The Diamond District”, created by state veterans Oddisee, X.O. & YU. In The Ruff is the answer for any lover of hip hop who asks the question - “Where did that grimy East coast sound go?”
The group was founded by rapper/ producer Oddisee, who has a long list of production & collaboration credits with the likes of Freeway, Talib Kweli, Siagon, Little Brother, Trek Life, Charles Hamilton, Jazzy Jeff, Buck Shot, Royce the 5′9”, Nikki jean, Muhsinah, J-live, Lil Fame of MOP, Skyzoo and many more. Oddisee’s soulful, haunting samples over bass- heavy beat breaks create the perfect instrumentals for him, XO & YU to match with their street savvy, politically conscious lyrics.
“The ware wolves wear wool suits, be ware of them…” -YU
In The Ruff is a raw mid-90’s Boom-Bap themed album for the DC state of mind, destined to appeal to all lovers of hip hop’s golden era, managing to travel back in time and push the boundaries of DC Hip-Hop simultaneously.

Twinkle Twickle Constellation beam me home seeing all the clusters in the galaxy they're reflecting the space of you and me requiring the love to be hopefully the stars will lead me home crying to the heavens above i saw a dove flourishing my wilderness flower through the night bleeding through the darkess hour finding power before daylight hit i sit i find my desired constellations and they are here within me and thats where it will be for eternity

I know that this poem has no sense of direction But i can't be the perfection for your view Beacause this is my blues for blue and if you feel bad your negativity never had cause my latest positivity is so large but in your eyes...i go the wrong way i didnt pay attention to your graditude or secluded break-neck points because the spirits of life's beauty will bring reality phase but my thoughts will stay in this blues for blue
the public eye is an example for indesentcy exposure people minds become disclosure and wont sit and think forward because the nigga-izm is hungry but i guess that it's their blues for blue
you see its funny how life takes you for a ride striving to get by before we hit the 6 feet under, corpes i tried so hard to get keep up with the traditions i tried to cope with my sanity i tried to fight the time but i end up with the blues for blue
i dreamed of being in the colored light dispite on how i feel this feeling is a peeling to a bliss but i end up in black and white and on the inside i have these blues for blue
Just like an amnesiac Trying to get my senses back trying to cope to the mist of the geography is not my positivity and its not cycled with my thoughts of being the star and i dont want to be the star because i shine more brighter like the moon but i still stay in my blues for blue
this is not a demise but this is something that i had disgise my everynight of popping pills having chills but on the inside i'm heating with the dizziness that has the eternal sickness that makes me the person that i am today but really i stay in my blues for blue
but as i stand here and tell my side of the story i had to open up my bruses up to let some of my blues blood out to show you what i've been through up to the age of catch 22 i stoop down to this blues for blue
I try to close my eyes to black out the demons that has been brought to me Astonishing.Apologies has been brought to me for the ways that they have been acted out but the way havent figured out...who i was? but little do they know...i am all of the above like the dove...that fades into black attack and i go back to...blues for blue and with that i'm cool sue
