Diont’e Visible: Ypsi Hip-Hop and a Grove Sessions Look Back

Diont’e Visible is a hip-hop artist from the Ypsi scene, and he’s the subject of this Artist Spotlight. Here’s what we can say for sure: according to Concentrate Media, he’s preparing to release a new album.

That detail comes from a Concentrate Media story on The Dojo, Ypsi’s long-running open mic series. The Dojo was founded by Harlin Duke Newcomb, it’s housed by the Regal Beagle, and it celebrated 10 years. Diont’e shows up in that story as the new album approaches.

The session above is from the vault. Diont’e played Grove Sessions, our live performance and interview series filmed at Grove Studios in Ypsi. It’s about five years old, part of our archive from 2020 to 2021, so think of it as a look back at where he was then.

We’ll be honest: we don’t have a long bio to hand you here, and we’re not going to make one up. We don’t have a list of upcoming shows either. What we do have is a video, a hip-hop artist rooted in Ypsi, and a new album on the way.

So press play and listen for yourself. Pay attention to how he carries a room. That’s the best way to get to know an artist anyway.

Then keep an eye out for what he does next. The Concentrate Media piece is a good place to start, and it’s worth reading for the story of The Dojo alone. A decade of open mic nights is a big deal for a city like ours.

That’s the kind of thing we love about the Ypsi and Michigan music community. Artists come up together, in rooms that give them a place to try things out. Collaboration over competition, every time.

Want to follow Diont’e Visible? Keep up with his releases and watch for the new album. And if you’ve got your own music to make, book a room at Grove. Bring your gear. See what happens.
