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] Diamond produced the majority of the album, with coproduction by Large Professor, Q-Tip, Jazzy Jay, Showbiz, and the 45 King. [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]
