The heir-apparent to hip hop royalty Rev. Run has impressed the masses again with his latest mixtape Airborne. Recognizable names like Chris Brown, Lupe Fiasco, Pharrell and Raekwon can be found on the mixtape along with underground chorus man Colin Munroe and singer/producer Bei Maejor.
Simmons amazes me with his ability to hold his own with more popular artists than himself in almost every instance. In "Big Bad World", he uses his rapid flow to tell vivid stories.
Diggy Simmons achieved the most important goal associated with a sophomore effort of any kind which is not to take a step back. The music here is better or at its worst equally as good as the music on his first mixtape.
For his next mixtape, I would like to see Simmons take charge in handling more choruses. Some artists' best products were solo efforts ie. Nas' One Mic, an rapper Simmons has been compared to.
