The Black
Diamond clique out of Federal Way is holdin’ it down for the
South End on their Knockout Kings Mixtape. Primarily
featuring Quality, Tryfe, Rocka, and Rion, the K.O Kings
Mixtape also includes other Northwest and national talent.
North Philly native Rocka is the most impressive lyricist on
the album, and the production is pretty consistent
throughout. Some of the best joints on the mixtape are “U Can
Ride” from LIFE, Rocka’s “Y’all Don’t Want None,” and
“Five-Trey Niggas,” with G. Digga, Quality, Stretch, and Tryfe.
The Black Diamonds camp definitely holds it down for the 253
and shows a good deal of potential and talent. Most of the
beats are club-friendly and easy to ride or smoke to, or
however you get down. Several tracks on the mixtape are up to
par with most major label releases, which is surprising for a
local compilation. Lyrically, some of the cats don’t hold it
down as well as others, and end up getting out-shined by some
of the hotter MC’s. The K.O. Kings Mixtape is the first in a
three volume series and you can go buy one at the Foot Action
down at Sea-Tac Mall. ‘Aight.
