Diamond D remembers his classic album Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop. The D.I.T.C. legend breaks down the album, released in 1992, in a track-by-track interview with Unkut, sharing behind-the-scenes stories of the album's conception. 

On "What You Seek," he says, "Large Professor was hanging out in the studio with me when I recorded that song, not a lot of people know that. I met Large Professor through Lord Finesse, probably a year earlier, and we just developed our own relationship. I respected his work, he respected my work."

He remembers "Pass Dat Shit”: "That was my little posse cut, that was the first time anyone, anywhere heard Fat Joe on wax. Also one of the Psychotic Neurotics was rhyming on there, my man Whiz OneMaestro was from the North Bronx, up by Murdoch Ave/Hill Ave area, and Mike G.Q. were from the west side of the Bronx. These were all people that I just hung out with around that time."
