Diamond In Da
Ruff |

For years
west coast Hip Hop music has been a man's game. Rappers
such as Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Eazy-E as well as
many others have pioneered to put the west coast on the
map. However, now in 2005, hell hath no fury like a
woman's scorn. The title, "Queen of the West Coast,"
this year will finally be given to its rightful owner;
the one and only, Diamond in Da Ruff, Diamonique. Not
only is this female MC known to eat and defeat the
competition, but she also possesses the charisma and
presence that only a star could exude. This diamond has
paid her dues and is ready to come up and take what's
hers.
Diamonique is more than focused, she has created an
enormous buzz on the streets all independently. Within
the last couple of years Nique has put out an album
called "Diamond In Da' Ruff", toured the world, and is
ready for what is about to happen. Her album was put
together by one of the tightest producers on the west
coast, Fingazz of Streetlight Productions. "Diamond In
Da' Ruff" was definitely a diamond in da' ruff, but at
the same time got her recognition in the game. It showed
her skills as an MC with songs like "Boom Bap", as well
as her vocal skills on "Taboo" and "Chain Reaction". She
has also worked with producers like, DJ Quik, Jon B., Dr
Stank, and Bobby Ross Avila. Diamonique has collaborated
with artist such as Hi-C, Big Steele, Sly Boogie, Dirty
Birdy, and Xzibit just to name a few. She's also a part
of the tightest crew reppin the I.E., Homeless Nation.
Nique has performed with artist like Pitbull, Lil' Jon,
Ciara, Baby Bash, D-12, and many others. Her stage
presence was described by a concert goer as "...off da
chain!" Nique captivates her audience with raw delivery
and intense energy, she was definitely born to perform.
Diamonique writes, sings, and produces as well. Her next
album "Queen Of Da' West" will wrap the game up! She
plans to release a double album, one rap and one r&b. On
this album she we show the world what a real artist
consist of, by producing, writing, rapping, and singing.
Diamonique will also keep the formula that caught
people's attention on the first album, that bangin'
production from Fingazz. With other producers like Dr.
Stank, Scott Storch, and the Track Starz this album will
live up to it's title "Queen Of Da West".
Apparently, Diamonique has alot to thank the Almighty
for, as this year promises to be the best yet. She's
embarking on a Midwest tour around the United States
that promises to be nothing short of the shit. Nique is
also going to the far east side of the world to tour
Japan and Spain and represent for Cali's Inland Empire
world style. " I want to put the I.E. on the map. I want
people all over the world to know the I.E. like they
know L.A., Oakland, Long Beach or Compton." So now that
this diamond has risen from all the bull that holds most
back, what left? Only one more thing ...the world, It's
her time to shine!
