Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop is the debut album by the American hip hop producer and rapper Diamond D , released on September 22, 1992.[ 7] The album features some of the earliest appearances from Diamond's later D.I.T.C. partners Big L and Fat Joe da Gangsta ,[ 8] as well as his crew the Psychotic Neurotics.[ 9] Although Diamond D handles the majority of the album's production, other popular beat makers such as Large Professor , Q-Tip , Jazzy Jay , Showbiz and The 45 King co-produce on several tracks.[ 10] The album features three singles: "Best-Kept Secret", "Sally Got a One-Track Mind", and 'What U Heard".[ 11] The album was not released on vinyl; however, there were promotional copies pressed with full artwork which were highly sought-after.[citation needed ] The vinyl edition was eventually made available as a reissue years later. The original promo version has a sticker on it; the reissue had this sticker scanned into the artwork.[citation needed ]
In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source 's 100 Best Rap Albums.[ 12]
