In a clip from Questlove Supreme filmed in Atlanta, he recalls being a child and seeing Hip-Hop pioneers throw park jams. He describes the early Hip-Hop sound systems. Diamond also touches on the impact of James Brown, The JB's, and the classic breakbeat "Blow Your Head." Diamond would go on to work with pioneers, co-found Diggin' In The Crates, and build a Grammy-winning music career. Diamond D's latest album, THE REAR VIEW https://empire.ffm.to/the_rearview, is available now.
