Diggy Simmons Says He’s The Realest Rapper?!?

DIGGY SIMMONS is trying to make sure we see him as a real rapper, not just the newest teen girl obsession.

The son of the legendary REV. RUN, says he is fully confident with his rapping abilities and believes that he is one of the best lyricists in the game.

“I mean, I personally just think I am [realest rappers] Lyrically, my content, subject matter, just everything that I’m about makes me feel that I am,” Diggy replied when asked by Hip-HopDX the track on his album in which he makes the bold claim.

“And it’s not coming from a cocky place or anything; it’s just the way that I feel about myself. And I feel like that’s how everybody should be: not look for approval from others to feel as though they can be or do whatever it is that they want to do.”

The 17-year-old released his debut album Unexpected Arrival last month, and while he has impressed some fans, older hip-hop heads are having a hard time taking him seriously.
