In Rapid Fire, we ask each Girl to finish the beginning of a sentence we provide. They will have only mere milliseconds to provide a response, so these answers will come straight from their unconscious, unencumbered by oppressive societal conventions and the insidious forces of excessive politeness. Enjoy DJ Diamond Kuts! My motto is… work hard. I can’t stand it when… people fart in front... [Read more]
Right now I’m working on a new mixtape. It’s called “Her Story In The Making.” You got different types of mi tapes. The mixtape that I’m putting together, people usually just call that a compilation album. You just get a whole bunch of artists that jump on a track that you put it together on a CD. It’s like you have an album with a whole bunch of different artists on... [Read more]
My dad bought me the starter DJ kit, and I tried it out for a little while. I loved it. I worked at a record store, and I saved up all my money to buy Technics. Technics are a better brand of turntable than I had. I had belt drive turntables – they’re not really good ones. So I saved up for Technics. I started hanging out at the local record store. After school, I would take the bus downtown... [Read more]
Philly feels like home, you know what I mean? And the people here, the Philly crowd is a hard crowd to please. That’s why I love Philly, because I always say, you can make it at Philly, you can make it pretty much everywhere. Because they’re so hard. Philly has a lot of culture here, and people like to have fun. And it’s not too busy and it’s not too country at the same time. You got... [Read more]
A moment that happened to me in college was my dad passing away. My dad was really into a lot of music. Growing up, we were always around music and we knew so much about it that when he passed away, I was DJing at the time. My dad bought me my first set of turntables. After he passed, I said, “You know what? I know my dad would want me to really go extra hard with doing this DJ thing.” And... [Read more]
I’m lucky that I had great teachers. But for people that are starting, the best thing to do is to know your background, know the background of music, learn the techniques of DJing. A lot of people say they want to DJ, but they really don’t know the techniques. They don’t know how to make records go together. You’ve got to learn how to rock a party and keep the interest of a crowd. I would... [Read more]
The show is a hip-hop show and comes on BET. The show actually airs at 3:00 AM. So we encourage everybody to really DVR the show. It’s a hip-hop show. We play videos, we talk about the latest gossip. Everything hip-hop. I got the show because before The Deal, it was a show called Rap City. Rap City used to have guest DJs come onto the show. I would be a guest DJ once in a blue moon and...

“There’s a lot of stuff that I’ve done, but there’s so much more that I can do.” says DJ Diamond Kuts, and we most certainly agree. No, that’s not her birth name (it’s Tina Durham), but it might as well have been, as DJ’ing has been Diamond’s destiny from day one. The daughter of hip-hop artist Grand Tone of the Grandmasters of Funk, Dad bought Diamond her first DJ... [Read more]
