Digga D’s rise has been exponential. With over half a billion global streams and a #1 mixtape under his belt, today the chart-topping rapper releases his highly anticipated fourth project ‘Back To Square One’ - a striking 15-track offering out now via EGA Distro.
'Back To Square One' reflects an organic switch from his prior youthful mastery of one type of sound to the evolved, refined precision of another. It is full to the brim of crisp, carefully selected beats, experimentations with voice, flow and emotion, and raucous yet refreshing reflections on life as an influencer and generational icon.
Ahead of the release, last week Digga D joined forces with fellow British rapper Potter Payper for whip-smart offering ‘Facade’.
Just last year, Digga topped the charts with ‘Noughty By Nature’, his third project since he entered the scene just a mere 5 years ago. The mixtape followed on from a flurry of releases including; ‘Hold You Down’ ‘What You Reckon’, ‘G Lock’, ‘2K17’, ‘Pump 101’ and ‘Wasted’, the latter two of which were his second and third top 10 records. Since the release of his critically acclaimed 2021 mixtape, ‘Made In The Pyrex’ – a project which showcased the lyrical dexterity of the West-London rapper – Digga D has firmly cemented his position within drill, a genre which he has dominantly spearheaded over the last few years.
Breaking onto the scene with his 2019 hit single ‘No Diet’ – the track subsequently peaked at #20 in the UK singles chart and to date, has amassed over 26 million YouTube views. Shortly after, his debut mixtape ‘Double Tap Diaries’ charted at #11, making it the highest charting debut for a UK solo drill artist, ever. With over 300 million global streams under his belt, 2020 saw Digga D also become the first solo drill artist to be nominated, and subsequently win an AIM Independent Music Award. His BAFTA-winning BBC Three documentary ‘Defending Digga D’ detailed the many hurdles and setbacks Digga has faced since the beginning of his career however, in spite of this, the 23-year-old rapper has defied all odds, rapidly becoming a household name within the UK music scene.
The life and career of Digga D has been a roller coaster ride. Overcoming junctures along the way — challenges and celebrations separating the old from the new, the young from the wise — has made him who he is today. With the release of his fourth mixtape, 'Back to Square One', Digga arrives at another threshold, as an artist whose commitment to personal and sonic growth continues to set him apart.
