Nas Co-Signs Diggy Simmons


Diggy Simmons is Rev Run's 15-year old son, who just happens to be a dope rapper. He dropped his first mixtape last year though didn't get a whole lot of recognition until recently with his freestyles over Drake's 'Over', and more recently, freestyle over Nas' 'Made You Look' (above).
After hearing Diggy dismantle his track, Nas had this to say of Rev's son:
“I couldn’t believe it. Rev Run is the king of rap, and for him to have a son who’s that nice? You don’t even think shit like that happens. I don’t think we’ve seen that in hip-hop yet—he’s nice and his father’s the king? That’s historic, bro. That shit is incredible. That little dude is nice.”
Seriously, this kid's only 15. Illest 15-year-old I've heard since Nero dropped this shit. I'll be keepin an eye on this kid, curious to see what happens when his voice drops.
