DigDat is officially back. This past weekend, the London emcee liberated his second official body of work Pain Built, which comes with ten songs and zero features — production was handled by the likes of Maniac, Madara Beatz, M1OnTheBeat, and more. The project was led by the hard-hitting singles “VV,” “Assassin Creed,” and (early last year) “How High,” the last of which acts as the album closer and sees him boasting about his wild lifestyle over production from Scratcha:

“Had a spliff on my ear, but I dropped that, lost that, now I’m pissed, doing up a blem, got a big G locked in D-Block, see him and rise it and beat on them, she suck on my dick, then make sure you throat man, Amiris red like that post man, I’m still trying to send this postal, free S1, tell him, ‘Get with the program,’ like, still trying to find my spliff, I’ll burn that, someone tell the weed man come back, hundred racks on my chain, all the leng tings know my name…”

Back in 2020, DigDat revealed his debut album Ei8ht Mile, a well-received offering that saw 13 cuts with additional appearances from Tee Grizzley, D-Block Europe, Aitch, Headie One, K-Trap, Snap Capone, and more. Prior to that breakthough, the UK drill frontrunner dealt with more than most in regards to struggle, beginning with landing a five-year stint in prison at the age of 13 for an unknown offense. He was eventually “found” by ex-manager Bouncer, a longtime member of Krept & Konan’s Play Dirty collective, and subsequently found himself on the UK charts thanks to the runaway hit “Air Force” and it’s A-list remix alongside Krept & Konan and K-Trap. Simply put, the man has come a long way.
