Meet the freshmen...

Diggy

The first time I heard that Diggy Simmons was now a rapper I immediately assumed that here comes another Bow Wow, but after hearing his mixtape ‘Airborne’ I was shocked and impressed because this youngin is unlike many young rappers that had have come before him. His sound is mature and not bubble gum as you would assume.  His lyrical content is on point and is not superficial. Early this year he was named as part of the XXL Freshmen Class of 2011. With a new mixtape in the loops and an album which is said to drop this year. I excitedly await both these projects.
