The multi-talented rapper/actor/performer was soon named among Billboard's "Artists To Watch" while also ranking among XXL's hugely influential "Top 10 Freshmen" list. 2012 saw the release of Diggy's acclaimed debut album, "UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL," highlighted by such hip-hop hit singles as "Copy, Paste" and "Do It Like You (Feat. Jeremih)." Further honors followed, including the BET Awards' "YoungStars Award" and the NAACP Image Awards' "Outstanding New Artist."
"My Girl (Feat. Trevor Jackson)" dropped in 2014, its companion video drawing total views now approaching 2.5 million at www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkKmroRfi0c. 2015 has already seen a number of new track releases, including "Ain't Bout To Do It (Feat. French Montana)," which is streaming now at Diggy's official YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/diggysimmons.
