Press Release:

“Los Angeles MC Diz Gibran and Corona, Queens producer Moonshine are like a 2009 version of Pete Rock and CL Smooth…only better. They effortlessly create classic material, and have a sound that can’t be put in a box, but somehow almost fits into each one. With the release of Diz Gibran’s album “Soon You’ll Understand”, presented by top streetwear brand Crooks & Castles, he and Moonshine explain just who they are and what they do. This is the beginning, an introduction of sorts, but you will leave the meeting feeling like you’re going to know them for a long time. This is Diz Gibran and Moonshine, soon you’ll understand.”
