***NEWS FLASH***NEWS FLASH***NEWS FLASH***

There has been a warning issued for the greater Metro area! Don’t be fooled, this is the Calm Before The Storm!!! Colorado’s own Diamond Boiz crew has taken the city by storm, with turbulent performances opening up for industry professionals such as The Nappy Roots and Likwit Junkies aggressively making their name known in the community. This explosive crew is comprised of three versatile artists, invading Colorado’s Hip Hop community by creating an upsurge of excitement. Zome not only plays the roles of producer/engineer for the trio-but takes care of business, making sure the crews stays on track. Having first stepped to the mic as a freshman in High School, he would leave a trail of old collaborators behind him, in the mission to push himself to the next level. Zome came into his own creating the Diamond Boiz first release Heart of a Warrior Mind of a Soldier. Produced/Engineered entirely by Zome, this release is what would first give the world a taste of the force that was to come. Having rapidly sold out of this first disc is what would get the Diamond Boiz the strong fan base they have today. Dyalekt (who happens to be Zome’s brother) is not only another MC, not only another producer/engineer but also plays the role of graphic designer for the trio. His technological know-how is what gave the Diamond Boiz such a polished look from start; proving that the DIY ethic can compete with the biggest of industry players. With electrifying charisma, it is no wonder Dyalekt would brand the crew The Diamond Boiz. Ze-The Denver City Kid takes his position in the crew as the 3rd MC and promoter. This fresh faced young’n takes his hustle hard to the streets, helping cement the pull the crew has for their live shows. He started making music in 2004 using a Wal-Mart Microphone and turntables that belonged to his cousin; proving humble beginnings don’t speak for the future. Hooking up with his friend Dyalekt, Ze got involved with the brothers and never left, establishing his place in the Diamond Boiz. Now, The Diamond Boiz are unleashing their fury onto the world with the help of DJ Denco, in the form of their new project, Calm Before the Storm. The title refers to whirlwind that is looming when all three of these MC’s release their solo albums on the same day, later this year. Heed this warning Denver, if you are to survive the downpour that is to come.
