YA DIGG?

      

         At only 15 years old this guy has already done most things most adults will never accomplish in their lives. Diggy Simmons  has grown up in the spotlight and has lived nothing short of a normal life. He was really first introduced to the world in the show, Run's House, which was a family show on MTV and, hip hop legend, Rev Run who was part of the historic rap group Run DMC. The show first aired when Diggy was only about 10 years old and lasted for a few years.
        We have always known that Rev Run's oldest son, JoJo,was an aspiring rapper, but what shocked the world is when Diggy began rapping and releasing songs and mixtapes. at first I was a little skeptical about listening to this little kid trying to rap. I figured he was only doing it because of who his father was, but when I actually listened to him rap I was really surprised! this kid was actually rapping, not just talking while rhyming a few words with each other. most rappers at his age don't have the maturity to formulate great songs, but Diggy's wordplay and flow have set him apart from others. he raps luke he has been doing for as many years as some of the big names today. Even though he's young older people respect him for his attitude and honesty. I like him because he's not always rapping about how much money he has or how many girls he got, but because talks about his feelings and what goes on in his life, which isn't seen in many young artists.
        Right after his 15 birthday, Diggy signed with Atlantic Records and has begun his new life as a signed artists. He has already released two mixtapes, been on T.V. shows such as 106 and Park, and has had many interviews. Diggy Simmons could possibly be the new future face of Hip Hop.
