CL EXCLUSIVE: UP-CLOSE & PERSONAL W/ DIGGY SIMMONS

It was early last year that Diggy Simmons was finally introduced to music scene. Not as the little outspoken boy from MTV’s Run’s House or as the nephew of hip-hop/fashion mogul, Russell Simmons, but as Diggy, one of the newest & young contenders in the rap game. On March 11, 2010, Simmons dropped his very first music video “Made You Look Freestyle (Flow Stoopid)” – a Phil the God-directed clip where the then 15 year-old, confidently served dope lyrics over the instrumental beat of Nas’s 2003 single, “Made You Look”. (WATCH HERE)

Now at the young age of 16, he has already released three mixtapes (The First Flight, Past, Present, Future & Airborne), appeared in a television commercials for AT&T and started his very own shoe line, Chivalrous Culture.

CL contributor Christine Imarenezor had the opportunity to sit down and chat with the teenage heartthrob about his forthcoming, untitled debut album, what it was like to perform his single, “Copy, Paste” for the first time on national television, whether he see himself going back to reality TV as well as his future career and life aspirations.
