Straight off DC's own Uptown XO's forthcoming project, Monumental 2, is "Black America". He has been on his grind lately to put this title out, and has a few tracks already to show for it. To put it simple, his game is intelligent and comparable to how Lupe Fiasco spits. This single is really nice and he put good visuals on it with cut scenes and samples from Wesley Snipe's movie, New Jack City.

Another single off his new project is "Crabs In A Barrel" which has a soothing DMV sound to it. He's going to be making moves so keep an eye out for Uptown XO and his crew, The Diamond District.
