Diggy Simmons is already a celebrity as a result of his famous father, Rev Run, but the teen rapper has hopes of becoming a bona fide star in his own right through his music.
He's just begun his journey. Late last year, the Run-DMC progeny released freestyles on the beats for Drake's "Over" and Nas' "Made U Look," causing the teen rhyme-spitter's profile to increase.
Now, he's been tapped as a top-five MTV News "Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2010" finalist.
"Wow, that's huge," Simmons told MTV News' Sway. "That's dope. It's crazy to me. ... I'm at a loss for words. I've grinded and whatnot, but it's been a short amount of time. When I saw [the other 'Hottest Breakthrough' candidates], I was like, 'Eh.' I was excited that I was even put in there. But I didn't necessarily think I would win, because I haven't been grinding as long as some dudes. ... But the fact that I'm top five is huge."
The "Run's House" alum has released one mixtape already, First Flight, and is currently at work on the sequel, Airborne, which he hopes to drop shortly. He's inked a deal with Atlantic Records and is hard at work on his debut album.
The upstart also tweeted his appreciation for the nomination. "Wooow got voted into the top 5 for @mtv's breakthrough MC of 2010!!! #TeamDiggy ya'll are the best man I swear! Thank u :)"
Other MC's that made the top five are Nicki Minaj, Travis Porter, J. Cole and Wiz Khalifa.
"The thief's theme, play me at night, they won't act right/The fiend of hip-hop has got me stuck like a crack pipe/The mind activation, react like I'm facin/ time like 'Pappy' Mason with pens I'm embracin" --Nas "The World Is Yours"
Whatever you think about Nas's movements away from the vocal booth, there is no denying he has spit some of the most memorable lines in hip hop history.
From his classic debut album 'Illmatic' to his verbal slaughtering of Jay-Z during their beef, which culminated when Nas delivered the scathing diss "Ether". The man born, Nasir Jones is definitely an all time great.
The UK's Tim Westwood recently caught up with Nas and they addressed all issues from his personal divorce from Kelis to his upcoming solo album.
Nas started things off by talking about how he and Damian Marley came together for their 'Distant Relatives' album.
"I did "World Desire" with Damian on his last album. And I like how he get down. We'd been talking about doing more work. We were supposed to something on the 'Hip Hop Is Dead' album and it never materialized. So we'd been talking back and forth and we just planned to do a EP, but we just kept going and did a album."
It's been three years since Nas dropped a solo album. There was controversy surrounding his last project because Nas put his beef with Jay-Z to bed and essentially went to work for him by putting the album out on Def Jam. At that time Jay-Z was the President of the label.
Some of Nas' longtime fans felt like the rapper sold himself short by doing that.
There was also the drama surrounding the album's title. Nas originally planned to call the album 'N*gger'. He and then wife Kelis famously showed up at the 2008 Grammys with the word 'N*gger' emblazoned on their shirt and jacket. A very bad PR move in retrospect, but so it it has gone for Nas. It's usually hit or miss for the mc. The album ended up coming out untitled.
He's presently working on his next solo album.
"I'm definitely looking at my solo project, it's one of the most important records of my life," he tells Tim. "It's gonna be magice, I feel a magic thing brewing. I keep calling it a magic moment...that's what it's gon' be. I feel it, the stuff I'm writing down, the directions that I'm thinking about going into. It doesn't even matter what producers...if it's Swizz Beatz, if it's [DJ] Premier, if it's Alchemist, Dr Dre, Kanye West. All of these guys are guys that I love and guys that I been talking to about getting on the project. Actually, Kanye hit me up and said I wanna produce the album and RZA. I gotta deliver right now"

I've heard the saying "no matter how good a woman looks there is a man somewhere that is sick of her sh*t". But, my goodness I'm trying to think of a reason why The-Dream is divorcing Christina Milian.
I saw the pics of his new lady with him on the beach and...well she's no Christina.
According to The-Dream he "fell out of love" with the Cuban beauty and you can't fault him for that I guess.
However, Christina is on her workout routine tough and looking better than ever.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Frantic witnesses watched a white van speed away from the spot where two West Memphis police officers were shot in May, but one told an emergency operator with some resignation that "they're both dead now."
A prosecutor on Friday released telephone calls made to 911 operators after the May 20 shooting on an Interstate 40 exit ramp in eastern Arkansas.
Other callers helped police tracked the van to a Walmart parking lot, where the accused gunmen were killed in a shootout with police.
West Memphis police officers Bill Evans and Brandon Paudert were shot dead along the highway and police later killed Ohio residents Jerry and Joseph Kane.
Joseph was Jerry Kane's 16 year old son.
Previously released video showed the boy fired an AK-47 at officers after his father was pulled over for a traffic stop.
The Jay-Z is a Satanist/member of the Illuminati stories just won't go away.
He's tried ignoring them. Then playing into them. And when Rick Ross' Teflon Don album dropped this Tuesday, the artist officially took the issue head on with a guest verse on a song titled "Free Mason."
"I said I was amazing / Not that I'm a Mason / It's amazing that I made it though the maze that I was in / Lord forgive me I never would've made it without sin" - Jay-Z on "Free Mason"
Still, many MCs who claim the cross take issue with Jay-Z's recent imagery and hints at a dark side. In January, Houston rapper Bizzle made waves when he released a track called "Explaining to Do (Jay-Z Expose')" that was directed at the man who calls himself "Jay-hova."
The accompanying YouTube video (now at over 53,000 views) is filled with visual examples of possible connections to the occult and was featured on mainstream rap sites like Allhiphop.com and Worldstarhiphop.com. Overnight, the previously unknown Bizzle found himself in the middle of a firestorm.
"I'm really trying not to get stuck on the Jay-Z stuff and just want to focus on telling people about the Lord and his Good News," Bizzle said.
But obviously, the kid known for calling out Jay has an opinion about his "Free Mason" verse.
"I think he only cleared up things for 'blind' people who want to remain 'blind.' They didn't want to hear a real explanation, they just want to hear him say it's not true," Bizzle said.
"And no, I don't think it was a response to my song. If that's the case he would have addressed the specific points I raised. To me, the logic should be that if I brought up 20 signs that point to him being a Mason and having Satanic ties then he should have to bring up 21 things that say the opposite."
Other Christian rappers aren't so convinced. Dre' Murray (a Houston native) has shared songs with Bizzle but thinks that Jay-Z's verse adequately addressed the issue.
"Make no mistake, Jay'z imagery in the past, especially in the 'On to the Next One' video, was blatant. But I think he was just trying to push people's buttons," Murray said. "I think there was some clarity in 'Free Mason' where he owned up to some stuff and denied other parts.
"Could he be lying? Sure, but for me to devote all my time trying to figure out what he is or isn't really defeats my purpose as a Christian MC. Good should be out fighting evil, not sitting around talking about it."
Still, there's no clear consensus about Jay-Z's lyrics and actions in the holy hip hop community. Here's what outspoken New York rapper Lavoisier told me when he was in town for The Houston Project last week
What are your thoughts? Have you heard Jay-Z's "Free Mason" or Bizzle's "Explaining to Do?" Does the evidence add up to you or did Jay adequately address these concerns?
Freekey Zekey is a man on a mission. As CEO of 730 Dips and also part of The Diplomats, he's got his hands full, but no doubt is taking care of business.
Zekey took time out recently to talk with Major Moves DVD about rumors that the recent reunion of Dipset might not be 100% real and much more.
"We just keep producing music and it's working out real good. I got my boy Sen City, that's my 1st artist off of 730 Dips," Freekey tells CEO Money Joe. "I'm running down South starting up this 730 Southern situation. 730 is a major movement rocking real hard right now especially in the south."
Zeek knows the streets have been talking about him, Cam'ron, Jim Jones and Juelz Santana getting back together. People want to know if it's genuine or just for the money.
"You gotta understand, once people start seeing...start visualizing and hearing something that was great...that was phenomenal start to form back up. It's always gonna be words and little quotes and chants of people trying to knock that sh*t down. 'Cause if it's not them on top, they don't wanna hear about it. So of course you gonna hear all the negative...' ah them n*ggas don't f*ck with eatch other, they just out here for the money'. I mean but which we are also you know what I'm sayin, but we not just out for the money. It's things we had to admit. Like we wasn't just a group of people that we knew was nice, we all was real family. Not through blood, but through the years we grew up. Before all this rap sh*t it was me, Cam and Jim."
Zeekey has a lot more to say about Hell Rell, Jha Jha, J.R. Writer,40 Cal and more, so peep the entire interview below.
Eminem worries he will become an embarrassment to his daughters.
The 'We Made You' hitmaker - who raises his 14-year-old child Hailie, 17-year-old adopted niece Alaina and former wife Kim's seven-year-old girl Whitney - admits it is growing increasingly different to show his love for the trio as they get older.
He said: "It's a catch-22: I want to, as a father, express my love for my girls, but I don't want to go too far with it, where it becomes a hindrance in their lives. When they were younger... it was easier."
The 37-year-old star - whose records have infamously mocked other people in the public eye - has previously battled an addiction to prescription drugs and admits his problems started when he "ran out" of enemies to target.
He explained to Spin magazine: "I was trapped in my head. I'd spent most of my career going against the grain. Calling bulls**t. And suddenly, I started running out of enemies.
"I started to become that cliche - my own worst enemy."
The Detroit-born star also revealed he sometimes goes back to the poverty-stricken neighbourhood where he grew up to remind himself of how far he has come in life.
He said: "It may sound corny, but I'll go by and try to remember how things were when I was in those houses.
"I'll go back and remember, like, f**k, man, how life was back then. How much of a struggle it was. As time goes by, you might get content and forget things."
A Middletown man was arrested on felony assault charges after surveillance cameras caught him attacking a bartender.
Police said 26-year-old Casey Fryman walked into Main Bar in Lemon Township on July 12 and demanded car keys from his father, who was sitting at the bar.
Fryman, who was not wearing a shirt, was highly agitated and acting aggressively, police said.
Police said the bartender asked Fryman to leave, but he threw a bar stool at her and quickly hopped over the bar.
Fryman picked up Terina King-Smeal, of Middletown, and threw her to the ground before stomping her, officers said.
He then climbed back over the bar and walked out of the building, police said.
Fryman was taken into custody on one count of misdemeanor assault.

But police raised the charge to felony assault after viewing the bar's surveillance cameras, which showed the attack from two different angles.
Fryman remains in police custody at the Middletown Jail.
An Ohio cop got the scare of his life when he pulled a man over for a hit and run.
Officer Jason Deaton pulled over driver, Eric German for what he thought would be a routine traffic stop. but the situation quickly escalated out of control.
The two exchanged words before Officer Deaton attempts to restrain German by handcuffing him. The officer is only able to successfully get one handcuff on German before he turns and starts resisting.
Deaton then fires his taser into German's back, that's when German became enraged and overpowers the officer and starts punching him in the face.
Luckily for Deaton, another officer came to his aid, tased German again which allowed the two cops to fully handcuff him.
Officer Deaton was taken to a local hospital and treated for injuries sustained during the fight, but he will have to return later for facial surgery.

(CNN) -- A homeless man allegedly broke into a California bar and served drinks to unsuspecting patrons all weekend -- before police came calling.
The bar, called the Valencia Club, had gone out of business for some time and its liquor license had expired, police said this week.
But the suspect, Travis Lloyd Kevie, 29, somehow got into the California establishment in the Penryn area of Sacramento Valley last week. He reopened the bar using beer he bought from a nearby store.
Kevie allegedly started with a six-pack of beer and used money he received to buy more alcohol.
He kept the bar open for a weekend serving about 30 customers a day, authorities said.
He was so successful that a local newspaper did a story about the bar reopening.
"A local newspaper report alerted a Placer County Sheriff's Office Detective of a possible ongoing crime being committed in the Penryn area," the Placer County Sheriff's Office said. "As Detective Jim Hudson read the morning newspaper, he recognized an individual pictured on the front page as a local transient who has had numerous contact with the Placer County Sheriff's Office."
A detective went to the bar to determine if Kevie had obtained a liquor license.
"When Detective Hudson arrived at the Valencia Club, it was open for business with customers bellied up to the bar. Upon questioning Kevie Detective Hudson determined that he had no connection to the property and he did not have a liquor license," the department said.
Kevie was arrested Tuesday and charged with burglary and selling liquor without a license.
A large amount of alcohol and cash was also confiscated from the bar.
The newspaper, the Auburn Journal, that ran the story about the about the new "bar owner" reported that Kevie was arraigned on a single misdemeanor charge Thursday and ordered released from jail.
