About Digga D

Digga D, whose real name is Rhys Angelo Herbert, was born on June 29, 2000. Hailing from Ladbroke Grove, West London, Digga D has become known for his captivating music that has quickly caught the attention of both fans and the mainstream media.

One of Digga D's first breakthrough moments came with his freestyle on the " Next Up?" series, which garnered a staggering 10 million views. This marked the beginning of his rapid rise to fame in the UK music scene.

While Digga D's music has gained him a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim, it has also attracted controversy. His music, along with the music of CGM (previously known as 1011 and 916), has been subject to scrutiny due to its gang-related content. This led to several of their songs being taken off platforms like YouTube and a court order that banned five members of CGM, including Digga D, from making drill music.

Despite these obstacles, Digga D's music continues to resonate with listeners. One of Digga D and CGM's most notable songs, " Next Up," which unfortunately had to be taken down, was predicted to have reached 25 million views if it hadn't been removed. The song is considered an important milestone in elevating the profile of the UK drill scene and is hailed as an instant classic.

Digga D has also released other notable tracks that have gained him recognition. Songs like " Play For The Pagans," " No Hook," and " Kill Confirmed" have all managed to depict the gritty realities of life in West London through their raw and unfiltered nature.

In June 2019, Digga D released his highly anticipated debut commercial mixtape, " Double Tap Diaries." The tape proved to be both a critical and commercial success, charting at an impressive #11 on the UK Album Charts. What made this achievement even more remarkable was the fact that it was the first ever Drill project to reach this level of success.

Digga D's reputation only grew stronger following his release from prison in May 2020. It was during this time that a new court order was passed, requiring Digga D's music, lyrics, and videos to be reviewed by the police, who checked them for forbidden references to violence or crime. His constant legal battles with the police were documented in the enlightening documentary, " Defending Digga D," which further showcased his resilience.

Since his release, Digga D has continued to impress with a string of commercially successful tracks. Songs like " Woi," " Chingy (It's Whatever)," and his Daily Duppy have all struck a chord with audiences. His collaboration with AJ Tracey on " Bringing It Back" further solidified his position as an artist to watch.

On February 26, 2021, Digga D released his highly anticipated sophomore mixtape, " Made In The Pyrex." This 12-track project showcases Digga D's growth as an artist, with tracks that are sure to captivate listeners.

With his undeniable talent, relentless determination, and unique perspective, Digga D is undoubtedly an artist who will continue to make waves in the UK music scene. His ability to authentically portray the realities of life in his music sets him apart from his peers and positions him as a voice for his generation. Whether he's delivering hard-hitting anthems or thought-provoking tracks, Digga D is an artist who demands your attention.
