Diggy Simmons was M.I.A. for the last six years, but has finally come out with a new single “It Is What It Is.”
Diggy wrote on instagram explaining his musical journey and inspiration for this new album: “I haven’t released a music project in 6 years. All due to overthinking my ideas, my OCD, being too invested in the unknown and the fear of an uncertain outcome. For years, I let my irrationalities and the negative perceptions of others overcome what I perceived of myself. … Although this is still a learning process (a strenuous one, that is definitely not linear), I am accepting that it’s cool if I fuck up and not everything has to be perfect. It is what it is!!!”
Diggy’s music video is set in a church with choir music in the background.
Diggy is the son of Darryl McDaniels from Run-D.M.C. and the nephew of Russell Simmons. He currently plays Doug on Freeform’s show, Grown-ish and was on Run’s House the reality TV show.
