About This Item
Rushden & Diamonds first got their start writing rhymes and making beats while digging in the crates of 1980's rnb and royal orchestral music. The duo's early productions would eventually make their way onto R&D's debut Inch2010Inch, a critically acclaimed double album hip-hopera. 2010 is a genre-bending double concept album that plays out like an audio comic book. Telling the story of both Michael Rushden and Karl Lord Edward Diamonds who embark on a musical journey set in an alternate not-too distant future. Rushden & Diamonds 2010 is a modern day opera, Inchhip hoperaInch, fusing both hip-hop music and a dramatic yet humorous storyline.
