Digga D is the first artist to have been given a Criminal Behaviour Order
“A person is a poet,” wrote the last of the great French symbolists Paul Valéry, “if his imagination is stimulated by the difficulties inherent in his art and not if his imagination is dulled by them.” If this is true and real artistry does lie in the face of adversity, then there can be little doubt that Digga D – the rap artist at the vanguard of one of the UK’s most explosive and controversial new music scenes – fits the bill entirely.
For at the age of just 20, Digga D has faced more than his fair share of creative difficulties. Having risen to fame in 2017 off the back of a standout freestyle performance on music platform Mixtape Madness’s “Next Up?” series, the West London rapper – whose real name is Rhys Herbert – quickly began to carve himself out as a key driver within the emerging musical movement known as UK drill.
