News Diggy Simmons signs to Atlantic Records
Posted By Mike McCray on Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 11:16 AM
What were you doing the day after your 15th birthday?
If I remember correctly, when I was 15, I was personally hoping some chick from my high school was down to play 'just the tip,' and I definitely wasn't signing a major record deal, but young Diggy Simmons did just that yesterday.
The 15-year old son of RUN DMC's Rev Run saw his internet buzz from truly impressive freestyles and a mixtape turn into a record deal with Atlantic Records. Rumors circulated last week that the "prodigy" had agreed to a deal with the label but since nothing was official, the label issued a statement dispelling those.
In case you missed our past posts on Diggy, check out his most recent freestyle, "Just The Beginning" over Drake's "Over" beat.

News / Videos Video: Crown Royalty: The History of Charlotte Hip-Hop
Posted By Mike McCray on Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 11:38 AM
Crown Royalty: The History of Charlotte Hip-Hop is a fascinating look at the people who helped mold Charlotte’s hip-hop scene on the street level, written, directed and produced by Johnson C. Smith alum, Mehka.
The documentary clocks in a little over 30 minutes and uncovers gems about the scene like the late Nate Quick's hand in keeping it going, cool little stories like Diggy Die mapping out Liquor House Records while sitting in the old satellite jail on N. Tryon Street and the interviewees reminisce fondly on the iconic venues that were the center of the scene.
One of the dopest things for me was the story of Dirty 130, a group I remember loving in 9th grade, whose hit song locally, I've literally spent hours of down time trying to find and add to my music library.
