Every so often an individual comes around whose style, ability, and approach shatters conventional wisdom and all preconceived assumptions. Think of a 5' 7" Spud Webb or 5'9" Nate Robinson winning the NBA slam dunk contest or Prince's uncanny ability to play multiple musical instruments . Traum Diggs is such an artist. Diggs' powerful voice, flow, and delivery resonate on every track creating a larger than life presence that far outstretches the artist's 5'7" frame. A native of East Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY, Diggs, the son of Caribbean immigrants, fell in love with hip-hop at an early age and became completely immersed in the culture almost immediately. Traum Diggs' style is a perfect marriage of the two cultures and a true reflection of his upbringing. His approach is pure nostalgia without losing sight of hip-hop's ever changing landscape. His versatility and integrity as an emcee/songwriter allow him to cover a wide range of subject matter without fear of contradiction.
Diggs left Brooklyn and relocated to Philadelphia, PA at age 17 to pursue a college education at Temple University. There he continued to "sharpen his sword" in legendary sessions with some of the best emcees in the city. During this time, Diggs formed the group H.M.P. with two old friends from Brooklyn and some new affiliates from school. H.M.P. released the EP, Dead End Kids in 2000. Shortly after the release, the group disbanded and Diggs joined with a former group member ASAV to form the Traum 'N ASAV Show. The Traum 'N ASAV Show released two mixtapes, 2004's Opening Credits and 2006's The Throwback Series: Episode One which was hosted by NY mixtape staple, Bedtyme 357. The Throwback Series… garnered critical acclaim in the US and overseas and was the launching pad for Traum Diggs' new company, 623 Entertainment. Capitalizing off the success of The Throwback Series, Traum Diggs released a collection of previously recorded solo material titled The Essential Traum Diggs in the summer of 2008. The Essential quickly led to the kickoff of The Mission Tour.
2009 has been quite a year for Traum Diggs and 623 Entertainment. While successfully headlining Mission Tour dates from NY to DC, he has also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with industry vets such as Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Styles P, and Pharoahe Monch. Diggs also released the latest installment of The Throwback Series (Episode 2) which features classic remakes of KRS, Rakim, and Jay-Z records and an incredible dedication to "the gloved one" called "Mike Jackin' 4 Beats."
