I couldn’t imagine being the son of one of Hip-Hop’s living royalty and navigating your youth with the understanding that your dad’s contributions helped shape the landscape of popular music. We’ve all seen Diggy grow from a happy-go-lucky pre-teen to a bonafide fashion obsessed wanna-be rapper. Then one day he dropped a freestyle over the Nas “gun at the party” opus Made You Look and the world started to see him as more than a young heir with time on his hands, he actually was spittin’ and was good at it.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Diggy for Karmaloop TV and was pleasantly surprised at how down to earth and personable he was. With all the pressure of proving he is an artist on his own merit and balancing the fact that he’s been famous for quite some time now, he gave off a quiet air of balance that is a rarity amongst young stars. Talented, a good head on his shoulders and a passion to create –

The reverend raised him right.

Shouts to the incredible Karmaloop TV Boston team – Gabe, Chelsea & Alex – for making me feel like a part of the team from day 1. Much appreciated.
