Digga D Career Journey
He established an early love and appreciation for music at the age of twelve when he began writing songs and exploring Reggae and Dancehall genres. This slowly morphed into rap and with the content moved towards drill music. The UK drill is a drill subgenre that originated from South London. Its content is primarily rapping on hedonistic criminal and violent lifestyles.
This is exactly what led to his troubles with the authorities. Digga D and his crew that called themselves 1011 rapped about crime making references to real-life occurrences that promoted violence. This was clearly not the kind of content parents would have their children listening to especially for the growing adolescents.
