The apple really doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Today, Run’s middle son Diggy, signed a deal with Atlantic Records. Congrats! If that wasn’t enough, Diggy also turned 15 years old yesterday. How’s that for a birthday present.

    Diggy had it made even before all of this. Just looks better on him that he’s got some talent to work with.

    Great pick up…I find it interesting that while Def Jam is trying sign guys on their way out…the “Real Def Jam” over at Atlantic is looking to the future..And this kid is a STAR across the board.

    @ everyone who said it was who he knows then you need to listen to his ‘over’ and “made you look’ freestyles, he just turned 15 and out rapped some major rappers entire catalouges in two freestyles. his mixtape was ok 4 what it was, while it was’nt the best he seems to have good songwriting skills and he seems to always stay on topic unlike most rappers of today who rely heavily on punchlines which most times are just random rhyming punchlines about balla shit. if diggy stay focused ppl like me will be saying ‘we told you so’ in 5 yrs from now when he wont even be 21. he is very advanced 4 his age….

    He signs a deal and all you can talk about is JoJo and his wackness. Know how many NBA players have older siblings that played ball as well? You Fuckin Crabs!!

    NEWYORK IS BACK.PROPHECY!! CONGRATS DIGGY!

    Wow….That’s gotta hurt. For JoJo, I mean. You had a group you were in heavily promoting yourselves for a minute. You made the rounds. Did the DVDs, etc. And not too many people were really feeling you. Not the Son of Run!!! How could that be? Then all of a sudden….your younger brother steps his bars up in a MAJOR way, has real hardcore heads checking for him, and on the strength of a mixtape that has heavy buzz, and a few freestyles, he gets signed to a major record label at the age of 15. No disrespect…but we see who’s the heir apparent.
