Flashback Friday: Emily King and Diggin’ In The Crates Crew
Y’all know what time it is – time to hop in our time machine and revisit a couple of our favorite albums. Want to share your favorites too? All you have to do is ask.
The wifey introduces you to true talent.
Emily King, East Side Story (2007)
Jai said: “Emily King is one of my favorite musicians, but unfortunately many of my friends have never even heard of her. Her album East Side Story did earn a Grammy nomination for “Best Contemporary R&B Album of the Year” but I still think she’s terribly underrated. If you’re one of those pals who don’t know Emily King, be sure to check out her music ASAP.”

Diggin’ In The Crates Crew, DITC (2000)
Edd said: “One of my favorite rap crews has to be DITC, which consisted of Lord Finesse, Show, A.G., Diamond D, Fat Joe, O.C., Buckwild and the late Big L. They were no frills, just lyrical skills. Their legacy seems to have evaporated, with only scant mentions about how great Big L would have been had his life not been cut short in 1999. They deserved a higher profile. Their 2000 album was filled with gems and still stays in rotation today.”
