Diggy Simmons x Atlantic Records

His Beginning was TRULY the Beginning...

With his mixtape (The First Flight) and countless other singles/remixes (Star Is Born, Set Me Free, Point to Prove) being recognized by fans, yet overlooked by major media outlets, it took the release of his remix to Drake's, "Over" (Just The Beginning), that eventually got Daniel "Diggy" Simmons love shown by said outlets for being "the first" to drop something over the newly then released track. Although people were receptive of his remake of the new single, Diggy still had more hearts and ears to capture and win over, with the goal of letting everyone know that him creating music was not a hobby but a passion and it was something he is great at.

Going back into the studio, the young fashion icon spit a crazy sixteen over Nas' "Made You Look", and unleashed "Flow Stoopid" (MP3 link). Linking up with PhilTheGod to create a visual along with the track, Flow Stoopid (video link), was the hit that finally got Diggy more love then anticipated. With cosigns by Lupe Fiasco and Swizz Beatz via twitter and blog postings by Kanye West and Common, Diggy EARNED his buzz that has major companies, labels and the internet wanting to get familiar with him.

Last week the buzz generated rumors that Atlantic Records signed Diggy Simmons, a small statement of denial was released due to at that time it not being true but as of Monday, March 22, 2010, the day after Diggy's 15th birthday, the deal has been sealed; Atlantic Records has signed Daniel "Diggy" Simmons!!

For all of those who have supported the project thus far, you are MUCH appreciated as this has been a FUN and VERY successful journey. It really does not stop with getting signed, more GREAT news to come SOON!

DW: That's whats up, not mad at that. You seem to be traveling a lot, what are some of your favorite spots while on the road?

Yo Gotti:I kinda like going everywhere. Its like different cultures when I hit these different spots. I try to reach out to other rappers when I hit there other cities and collab with them.

DW: You recently signed to J Records, how does it feel to be signed to such a major label with label mates of other great talents such as Alicia Keys and Mario? You'll be dropping your first major label album next.

Yo Gotti:Man it feels good. I'm working on the album and trying to make sure we put the perfect plan together.

DW: What made you want to join the Sony Music family verses other labels? I'm sure you had other offers.

Yo Gotti:I think it had to do with their passion and them being determined people. They are like myself so I felt we would make a perfect team.

DW: So you're content with the team you've interacted with thus far on the label?

Yo Gotti:Yeah I'm good. Making moves with them. The first song we put out, it was a top hit record.

DW: You recently made the billboard charts with your first single, "5 Star". That had to be a great feeling. When are you dropping another single?

Yo Gotti: The next single is going to be "Women Lie, Men Lie" and it was recently leaked. The album is "Live from the Kitchen".

DW: Is there an actual date of when you plan to drop the album?

Yo Gotti:No specific date but I'm looking at first quarter.

DW: Who can we expect to hear on the album, production and feature wise?

Yo Gotti:I worked with so many producers, too many to name. On the album,I got a track with Rick Ross. I got a track with Lil Wayne(the second single).

DW: DJ Kay Slay dropped a mix-tape and featured you on one of the singles, Blockstars, (with Ray J, Yo Gotti, Jim Jones & Busta Rhymes) how was it feel working with him?

Yo Gotti:It was cool, I have nothing but respect for Kay. He hit me up and asked me to jump on the track and I was all in. We shot the video for the single not too long ago, he sent the camera crew to me and it was done.

DW: You seem to be putting Memphis on the map.

Yo Gotti:Yeah, I put on for the city!
