The Diggin' in the Crates Crew, also known as D.I.T.C., is a
New York-based hip-hop collective, deriving its name from a popular DJ sampling practice. (See:
digging in the crates.) Its members have achieved substantial and consistent recognition in both underground rap circles, often collaborating with undiscovered talent and underground artists (
Madlib produces the first track on
A.G.'s new album) alongside the most commercial of rappers (
Puff Daddy and
Nelly have both been featured on Fat Joe's albums). Two of its best claims to fame are the extremely talented, but deceased, member
Big L and affiliate
Big Pun.
