Diametric Connection

About Me

Diametric Connection formed in the fall of 2007. However, its two members had previously recorded under the King Goody record label in 1992. After 15 years the two team up again to create works that go against the mainstream topics of sex, money, guns, and drugs. Diametrically opposed to mainstream hip-hop, they have set out to be a socially conscious group, striving to be a positive force in hip hop. Growing up in what seems like two different worlds, Crazy Pantha and DJ Rob collaborate to create a fresh sound with a fresh message of what we should be striving to become, the changes needed in the political arena, unification and topics that have been ignored for too long in hip-hop. Currently they are writing and recording in anticipation of a October 2008 CD release. Keep up with their progress on their MySpace blog.
