Last year, Diggy Simmons turned heads when he was signed to a lucrative deal with Atlantic Records. JoJo Simmons, his older brother, had been a part of Team BLACKOUT for years and they had yet to land a major deal. Many hip hop outlets poked fun at JoJo about his little brother getting a better deal than him.

The jokes continued until Vanessa Simmons, the older sister to both of the Simmons brothers, stepped up in defense. She said JoJo is doing something completely different from Diggy. Despite Diggy landing a better deal, JoJo is still very happy for him. Even though they are on different labels, the two will still work together.

With Justin Bieber exploding onto the scene, many hip hop fans have rallied around Diggy Simmons. At fifteen years old, hip hoppers are ready for Rev Run's son to take over the game. But, Diggy is ready for something completely different to happen. While he wants to become a major player in the game, he wants to do it on his own.

One thing Diggy said he wanted was to be known for his music more than he is known for his last name.
