Diggy Simmons - 88
Featuring: Jadakiss
Producer: Da Internz
Album: Unexpected Arrival
Label: Atlantic Records
As an ‘80s baby it was frankly shocking to see LOX alum Jadakiss on a track with teen phenomenon Diggy Simmons, but ten years ago who could have predicted that we’d someday be watching video on our phones of a black president? The times have changed, and 88 is a sign of the time. The new single from the younger Mr. Simmons recruits production crew Da Internz to shape a rhyme-ready beat that samples Dead Presidents II to head-nodding effect. From there Diggy continues to prove that he’s much more than just a case of hip-hop nepotism – the youngin’ can rhyme, and write some damn good lyrics too: “My uncle taught Diddy, Diddy turned around and taught Biggie / and Biggie taught Jigga, so imagine what he teachin me?” As for Jada, the man’s far too much of a veteran to come soft, laying down solid bars of his own that touch on his drug-pushing past and his rhyme-pushing present. Are you not entertained?!? For more from the fast-riser, fans can cop Diggy’s debut album Unexpected Arrival, very predictably arriving in stores on March 20.

Yeah, I didn't think I would ever call a Diggy song dope, but I stand corrected.

I respect Diggy as an artist now (just), but this is all about Jada. Plus how can Diggy be spending money from when he was never born?

Yeah this track is dope, but I think more of the credit should go to the producer on this one.

People are still hesitant to hop on the Diggy train. I got one of his mixtapes a couple years ago, as a joke really, but it turned out to be alright. I keep telling my friends he's talented, but they're like, "That kid from Run's House?" I guess time till tell... and he's got lots of it.
Side notes/nerd shit: Can we attribute "pardon my back" to Jay-Z on 'What We Talkin'? And was J. Cole the first to sample "Is this what you want?" on The Come Up with 'Quote Me'? |
