The hip-hop quintet known as PHRED DIAMOND (pronounced FRED DIAMOND)

is composed of 5 artists with 5 completely different views,

personalities and philosophy’s on life, hoping to change the world one

verse at a time. “PHRED” is an acronym for

“people-hardly-remember-everyone-dead”. Using the fuel of their lost

love ones as inspiration for every song, you can feel the emotion

poured into every verse, chorus, and hard thumping beat this group

produces. Hailing from the Maryland (DMV) area, the group consists of

Knox Diamond, Hill Will, Mani, Profit Tusane and Sandman. Their first

clutch of the microphone was 9 years ago when they were asked to rap

for the very first time amongst local MC’s. June 4, 2010 the group

released their first mix tape entitled “NOWALATERS”. The title

reflects the group’s confidence and insinuates that listeners will

either become instant fans now or will eventually succumb to the

group’s musical genius. PHRED DIAMOND represents the DMV area

(DC/MD/VA) which rarely receives recognition in the music industry,

especially in the rap/hip-hop genre. “We make songs about our

adventures and discoveries in our area. We want to tell the world

about our reality as 5 average brothers with a gift for making great

music. If you can connect, then come and rock with us.” When asked to

describe their music the group replied, “Our music is designed to put

you in a caddy on 24′s and take you on a tour of the DMV”. The

development of this group’s unique style is the result of a lifetime

of great musical influence.
