Initially comprised of Fat Joe, Lord Finesse, Diamond D, A.G., Showbiz, O.C., and Buckwild, the legendary New York City-based D.I.T.C. (Diggin’ In The Crates) crew debuted their self-titled album 16 years ago, and gave the Hip Hop community a taste of its authentic East Coast boom-bap flavor. Although Big L, who joined the crew after it was already established, was tragically murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1999, the remaining members have gone on to have reputable careers of their own.
The seven remaining MCs and producers have returned with Sessions, a 12-track joint bursting with their original vintage sound. The lead single, “Rock Shyt,” was privy to a visual treatment earlier this month and proved why they deserve their spot in the Hip Hop history books. With Fat Joe, Diamond D and Lord Finesse’s lyrical assassinations and classic ’90s Hip Hop production, D.I.T.C. has stayed true to themselves and will presumably continue to do so.
