Digga D is back with Wasted that looks set to give him his 2nd top 10 hit. This one samples Heartbroken by T2 & Jodie Aysha which was one of my favourites from childhood.

Digga has released some tunes I really enjoy in the past but everything I've heard from ArrDee so far has been mightily unimpressive so I'm a little worried to hear what they've done to a song that I adore.

I actually don’t mind this too much, it’s not amazing but fairly catchy in parts.

Posted by: sn👠ke Aug 16 2021, 09:58 PM

I like this song but I wish they didn't pitch up the T2 vocal in the garage bit.

Surprised at this collaboration, thought Digga D would be too serious to appear on a track with ArrDee who is more of a fun rapper in terms of lyrical subject matter.

Lol at the idea of Digga D being 'serious'. Half of his hits sound like literal pisstakes.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey Aug 16 2021, 10:22 PM

Just found out that ArrDee is only 18?! I don't know why but I had him down as being early-mid 20s, possibly because of his deep voice haha

Posted by: LewisGT Aug 21 2021, 09:30 PM

This is actually such a banger. I've had it stuck in my head all day. I just wish it was literally anyone other than ArrDee featured though.

The problem here is that Digga D really overdoes the "woi" thing. Completely unnecessary and ruins the song for me.

Posted by: Bré Sep 2 2021, 05:36 PM

And this song joins that.

I don't mind ArrDee's part but Digga D singing over the T2 sample with the most basic juvenile drill lyrics imaginable really leaves a bad taste in the mouth (not to mention the awful quality of the rest of his lyrics as per). Digga can make good songs but most of his biggest hits just feel like audio shitposts.

Incidentally this is the second time 'Heartbroken' has been sampled in a UK rap hit this year, it was also sampled on the much better 'Grown Flex' by Bugzy Malone feat. Chip which got to #63 in February.

On Friday, Digga D released a new single called '2k17' that is expected to be the 2nd from an upcoming album. This one continues the sampling trend from Wasted by interpolating YoungBoy Never Broke Again's Make No Sense.

Digga is going to get his 3rd hit from this project tomorrow with his timely, Squid Game inspired “Red Light Green Light” looking for the top 20 tomorrow.

Posted by: Dobbo. Oct 28 2021, 10:59 PM

His best in a while, not so much of the woi garbage this time.

Posted by: 30 Spells Snakey Oct 28 2021, 11:15 PM

It's violent though lyrically and with the music video That and the fact that I haven't watched Squid Game so don't 'get' the references puts me off it lyrically but the production is good.

He has apparently been arrested in *Dubai* for stabbing someone, so that might be the last we hear of him for a while.

Posted by: Danvember Nov 28 2021, 07:16 PM

least surprising news ever but big yikes that he was dumb enough to stab someone in Dubai who have the strictest laws ever, that’s bye bye to his career.

although googling it now it seems its only a rumour for now.

Posted by: Bjork Nov 28 2021, 07:55 PM

he'll probably turn it in his favour and rush-release a new single called Arrested in Dubai this Friday

Posted by: Bré Nov 28 2021, 08:37 PM

"It was us that did it, it was us that did it (Grr)
It was me that chinged up Zino (Bap)
It was us that did it, it was us that did it (Grr)
It was me that chinged up Deebo"

You surely aren't telling me this guy might have stabbed someone xx

(it is unconfirmed though, we know that he was there and someone was arrested for a stabbing but not that it was him personally)

Apparently not Digga.

yeah seems to be the case and he's now using the publicity to his advantage by plugging his forthcoming single

Posted by: Dobbo. Nov 30 2021, 02:33 PM

Wouldn't surprise me if he made someone he knew start the rumours in the first place.

He's at that stage of his career now where every single he releases goes top 40, actually quite impressive.

Posted by: LewisGT Jan 25 2022, 05:03 PM

'Pump 101' is the first release from Digga's upcoming mixtape and this one looks like it's going to the biggest release for Digga since 'Wasted'. The song samples 'Stunt 101' by 50 Cent's group G-Unit and is a throwback to these early '00 rap hits.

Hazey must have started a trend of Scouse rap in the chart because Still Brickin is another rapper from Liverpool.

I haven't heard this one yet but it seems to be getting the best reaction for any of his single for a while so I'm quite excited to hear it.

Posted by: Coal Statistics Jan 25 2022, 05:56 PM

Perhaps it is a sign that the drill production scene might be running out of ideas now one of their major artists is using an early 00s hip hop instrumental!

I like Still Brickin's accent though, thought he was from Birmingham when I first heard the track. Unfortunately I find both Still Brickin and Digga D's lyrics in this song awful.

Digga has announced that his 3rd mixtape is out this Friday and will be called 'Noughty By Nature'. This will be his final mixtape release before his 'debut' album is expected to drop next year.

The 4th single from the mixtape, Hold It Down looks like it will reach the top 40 this week. 'G Lock' & 'What You 'Reckon' peaked at #48 and #46 respectfully.



Wasted, 2k17 & Red Light Green Light have all been relegated to bonus tracks. He's no longer bound by any restrictions from the police in regards to his music which is why it's suddenly became less commercial and the first 3 singles have missed the cut.

Posted by: denz98 Apr 15 2022, 06:25 PM

His best mixtape yet. I think sonically he's got a bit more to tweak before he drops his first album, but I have no doubt he'll reach that. Remains to be seen chart wise how well it'll place but I think number 2 behind Swedish House Mafia and selling around 12-18k first week would be a great result. I believe Made In The Pyrex sold 13k first week although I can't remember for sure.

Overall rating: 8/10. His best tape, solid structure, story and artwork conception with the Noughty By Nature title. Best tracks were Pump 101, Hold It Down, What You Reckon, Main Road (probably my favourite with a cheeky Fredo diss in the hook), Why and Addicted.

Posted by: Brer Apr 15 2022, 07:40 PM

'Made In The Pyrex' did just under 10k in its first week - I'm not sure that I'd expect Swedish House Mafia to sell that much though so I think he has a good shot at getting the #1 this time if he does similar or better numbers to MITP.

SHM also don’t have any physicals out

Posted by: denz98 Apr 15 2022, 10:10 PM

Thanks for confirming, I'm surprised SHM don't have any physicals out for their first album too.. anyway I'm not complaining. Would love to see Digga go number 1.

The track "Why" featuring AJ Tracey I believe has sampled Robert Miles's techno/EDM hit "Children". Never thought drill would meet techno/EDM but there we go lol.
