It’s hard to keep track of all the newcomers in hip hop today. Rap radar overflow has become a daily reality. However, one that everyone needs to pay a little more attention to is Diggy Simmons, son of Run DMC member and hip hop pioneer, Reverend Run. Diggy inked a deal with Atlantic Records a year ago and has finally given us a taste of his debut album in the form of his first single, Copy, Paste.

The beat is hella infectious and kind of a cool play off of the title of the song, given its electronic sound. While some of his previous freestyles and work is a little stronger lyrically, I think this track serves as a great preview for his record and still demonstrates that surprisingly mature sound that many wouldn’t expect from a sixteen year old. A lot of people jumped to the conclusion that Diggy was riding off of his father’s name, but if you give his three previously released mixtapes a listen, I think it’s clear that he’s got the talent to back up his own name.
