Diaz was a constant presence in the underground rap scene in New York City and became prominent in the city's well-known rap battle competitions, including Braggin' Rites and End of the Weak. When he wasn't perfecting his craft in hip-hop music, PH was a loyal supporter to his fellow rappers.
Pumpkinhead released a number of solo albums—2001's The Old Testament, 2003's Beautiful Mind and 2005's Orange Moon Over Brooklyn—and was also featured on a few collaborative albums, including Immortal Technique's Revolutionary Vol. 1 and 2 and Jean Grae's The Bootleg of the Bootleg.
"He was one of those guys who would just freestyle in the street for hours, 20 round battles, of merciless bars, and he always had a box of CDs hustling," Immortal Technique wrote on Facebook. "To say he was a legend was an understatement. PH always had jokes, man. He was never unprepared to tell you about yourself."
