On Monday (Aug. 7), Digga D announced his next project, Back To Square One, complete with a trailer that gave a history lesson on one of hip hop’s youngest subgenres. “I began rappin’ in 2017. At the time, drill was really what it said on the tin, as authentic as it could be,” the West London star explained. “Only certain people could make this type of music and prosper off the back of certain lifestyles we were living.”
He continued, “Since I began, I had many ups and downs. Shed blood, sweat, and tears. But I gained and achieved a lot more than I could’ve imagined back then. I’ve seen many rappers and so-called gangsters come and go. And there’s been many attempts to take down my brand, my life, my career, my reputation and my livelihood, you name it. However, through my faith, I’ve been able to withstand this all, and here I am.”
On Thursday (Aug. 10), Digga D teamed up with past collaborator Potter Payper for the hard-hitting cut “Facade.” The track sees both artists keeping with the vivid, street-oriented subject matter that’s made them two of rap’s biggest frontrunners.
“I love gyal, I love guns, I love f**kin’ baby mums, keep playin’ stupid games until I kill your loved ones, I love weed, I love cars, and I love Nicki Minaj, I shoot n**gas, bae, this ain’t a façade…”
Fans can check out a Don Prod-directed visual for “Facade,” which sees Digga in the studio with Potter, going on a shopping spree, and enjoying some personal time with a bevy of beauties. Press play on that and check out the full tracklisting for Back To Square One below.
