MC DIGGADEE

About me:

In the mid 90’s the thriving UK rave scene was still in its infancy while the north London raised MC Diggadee had a long standing passion for Hip Hop, Reggae and Dancehall. Combining this strong interest in genres frequently incorporated into Drum & Bass productions and being introduced to the scene via a Brockie set recorded at Roast (London Astoria), facilitated a natural progression for MC Diggadee’s musical taste. Starting out as an appreciation for the genre commonly known as Jungle, MC Diggadee found himself regularly attending events promoted by the names that paved the way for Drum & Bass as it is today: Best of British, Fever & Heat, Helter Skelter, One Nation, Telepathy, United Dance among many others. The events, artists, the scene as a whole had an overwhelming effect and MC Diggadee’s future was realized. A yet to be discovered MC Diggadee targeted local house parties and talent shows where he could fine tune his skill on the microphone. This persistent nature, coupled with accomplished performances led to a residency at a local night club in High Wycombe, England. Associating with the local Drum & Bass crews proved fruitful when MC Diggadee was requested to perform with Andy C at a local university event at the modest age of 17. This milestone was followed by further opportunities to perform at Hysteria and United Dance extremely early in his career. Following on from these achievements, MC Diggadee returned to the U.S in 2002 bringing with him his UK attuned MC skills. The now eastcoast U.S. based MC found himself travelling countless miles up and down the east coast performing consistently throughout prime locations including DC, Baltimore, Virginia and New York City. This gave rise to further opportunities, performing with some of the major players in the Drum & Bass community from both sides of the Atlantic. By 2006 MC Diggadee had become an accomplished MC with international ties and several achievements that an aspiring young MC could only dream of experiencing. It would be this year that MC Diggadee associated with Konkrete Jungle VA becoming their resident MC and to this day that association remains firmly tight. MC Diggadee had the knowledge, expertise, a following and an ever growing list of associates; from the big names to the undiscovered talent – all he needed was a venue. Through his strong perseverance, "Rewind" was born. Solely organizing the only local weekly drum and bass event in the heart of Virginia Beach, host MC Diggadee gave DJ’s of every stature a place to perform, entertaining the enthusiasts and educating the uneducated. Rewind’s popularity grew and MC Diggadee found sponsorship and further affiliation through Outlook Skateboards. Circumstance would have MC Diggadee make a strategic move up to the NYC, Jersey Metro region in 2008. Connecting with the original Konkrete Jungle family and is currently a resident MC for Konkrete Jungle NYC. Continuing to live out his passion, bringing a touch of both worlds; his unique US|UK infused style keeps the audience pleasantly intrigued which in turn drives him toward further greater success. With many projects in the works, the sky is the limit. Current affiliations include Konkrete Jungle, Outlook Skateboards, Ability, The Filthy Womp, & SMC Artist Management Agency.

Although Dnb will always be the main ingredient on Diggadee's menu, the Dubstep movement brings a more expansive range of musical awareness. Performing with many of the biggest names in Drum n' Bass from around the world, Diggadee has also managed to work with a few of the biggest names in Dustep as well i.e. Skream & Benga. As the two genre's seem to intertwine, the ability to vibe and adapt is necessary in an ever changing music scene.
