Nothing but "Great Expectations" from Atlantic Records/Violator Management Artist, Diggy Simmons and his up and coming mixtape, "Airborne". Three weeks ago, the Teen Fashion Icon delivered "What They Been Waiting For"; GOOD music! And now, with just days before making a special appearance at NYC's Hot 97's Summer Jam this Sunday, Diggy felt the time was great to release a new track. The support Mr. Cee and Hot 97 has shown thus far, so early on in his rap career, has been amazing; Diggy appreciates it, as well as the support the fans and blogs have shown.
Teaming up with R & B, Michigan native, Bei Maejor ("Drunk in the Club") and The First Flight producer, Black the Beast, Diggy Simmons presents, "The Great Expectations". Unlike previously stated, Diggy's "What They Been Waiting For" will NOT be on "Airborne"; "Great Expectations" is the first release off the much anticipated mix-tape, dropping soon!

Recently Hip Hop great, Nas spoke on Diggy to Vibe Magazine stating that he felt the "Little dude is nice" upon seeing "Flow Stoopid", the first viral video dropped by Diggy, directed by Phil The God. Since dropping, "Diggy What? Diggy Who?" and even before, things have been quiet within the Diggy Simmons camp. Informing his fans recently he has been working to make his next mixtape perfect for his fans, making sure he "GIVES THEM WHAT THEY BEEN WAITING FOR", the Atlantic Records latest signee has decided to release a track and viral video off his upcoming mixtape, Airborne, which is a follow up mixtape to "The First Flight"....consider this the prelude track to "Airborne", once again directed by Phil the God.

Since signing to Atlantic Records, Daniel "Diggy" Simmons, has been a rather busy young man. Between meetings about his shoe line, Chivalrous Culture Sneakers, to meetings about his music, classes, working on his next mixtape, getting featured in XXL Magazine (on stands now; page 26), being a teenager plus daily schooling, his work ethic is to be commended and admired. Let's not forget him becoming the newest addition to the Violator Management team; yes you read that correctly, Diggy is now managed by, Chris Lighty.
Fulfilling the request of fans and of course appeasing the doubters, Diggy has decided to release new material in the middle of working on his upcoming mixtape:

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!

Seems like EVERYDAY I have someone hitting me up on MySpace asking me to listen to their music or wanting to add me to their friends list so they can "network". NEWSFLASH - having 50 million friends on MySpace is NOT networking & having 50 million hits on MySpace does not mean anything if no one likes your music. The hits more than likely come from someone like myself who clicks on your page post to the message out of curiosity. Yanno, the same way John McCain had over 3.5 viewers watch his speech at the RNC - no one cared for him but tuned in out of curiosity.
I am going to be calling out those people who hit me up requesting me to check them out - not to be a "hater" but to give tips & suggestion. Just call me the Jose Vilson of Urban Music. What makes me feel I am anyone of importance to put my Stephen A hat on? Actually, I am a nobody, at least that’s the title I like to have. I do however manage a Marketing Company that has a recording studio on site & work with a lot of the Artist (known & unknown). Not to mention my massive industry connection - actually, I don't look at them as "connections" but more as friends. I have never requested assistance from them but yet always worked with them - which is something Industry heads are lacking these days; people always want the hook up. I am someone they all turn to first when needing a project done, which is why I am on the level I am on, which makes me someone who is relevant to share tips with others – got it?
