Diamond Lounge Studios is now undoubtedly hip. The design firm, founded in 1999 by Fahamu Pecou and Salah Riley, was chosen to create all promotional paraphernalia for R&B songstress, Mary J. Blige. A souvenir tour booklet, T-shirts, and fan club cards were created. Blige’s tour began on June 10 in L.A.

Cobalt Club, The Crescent Room, Yin Yang Music Cafe, Chocolate Soul Musicfest, and Big Oomp Records are among the studio’s other hip clients.
