Diggy Simmons Signs To Atlantic Records

His older sister Angela took a picture of the big day, showing Hip-Hop’s new problem child signing on the dotted line.

Diggy Simmons, the son of ½ of the legendary Run DMC, has officially made moves to follow in his famous father’s footsteps.

Just a day after his 15th birthday, Rev Run’s son has inked a deal with Atlantic Records.

Buzz for the aspiring rapper first began in December when he released his The First Flight mixtape.

Following that things rose to new heights after he released the video for “Flow Stupid”, a remake of Nas’ “Made You Look.”

Now with the ink barely dry on the paper, the teenager tweeted the good news saying,

“Taking a tour of the Atlantic offices… This is real surreal right now, its official! Real thankful just takin it all in!” (3.22.10)

Drake’s Spring Break 2010 Performance: Mexico

It’s amazing to think that at this time last spring, Drake was a relative unknown. A year ago, Lil Wayne brought Drake and the rest of his Young Money camp onto the mtvU Spring Break stage in Panama City Beach, Florida, for a performance of “Every Girl.” That was just after So Far Gone dropped, but shortly before the mixtape took Drake to another stratosphere.
