COUNTDOWN 2 DIGGY is undoubtedly one of the hottest shows on Warner’s new YouTube channel and HYPE has got exclusive rights to show the clips on our website! For the next 7 weeks, HYPE will put up a brand new clip of the show so be sure not to miss an episode of the life and times of a rap mogul in the making.
Born Daniel Dwayne Simmons III in 1995, Diggy Simmons is the son of Rev.Run and showed interest in taking after his father’s famous footsteps where music is concerned from a very early age. A member of the hip hop crew All City Chess Club, Diggy’s first solo mixtape The First Flight dropped in 2009 with over 100,000 downloads. Signed to Atlantic Records, Diggy has received props from most of rap’s elite like Kanye West.
His second mixtape Airborne dropped in 2010 and featured the likes of Lupe Fiasco and Pharell Williams. His third mixtape Past Presents Future dropped late last year and is hosted by none other than Premier and features samples of old school 80s and 90s tracks.
Making the cut of XXL’s Freshmen list, Diggy is the one to watch as he embarks on his hip hop career. Already an empire in the making, courtesy of his surname, he even has a sneaker line out called Hamachi – where Diggy says he gets inspiration from Kanye and Jigga.
