Throughout these last couple of challenging and testing years, Diggis turned his creative outlets to help cope and stay grounded. Staying creative is an important part of his lifestyle and goals. Rhyming flows is more than a hobby for him; he embraces the fruitful life of living with hip-hop and contributing to the culture.
His latest offering, ‘Straight Chillin’ Pt2 Be About The Balance’ is a hip-hop track infused with different styles like soulful, 90s Boom Bap, and old school. Diggis created a smooth and conscious anthem to tap into a peaceful and aware frame of mind and energy. The tune is impactful with its storytelling, relaxing and positive vibes, and overall the chill liveliness that will engage the listener from the very beginning.
Pushing positive hip–hop music is part of the ways Diggis represents himself and strives for progress locally, socially, and globally. He reaches for balance and an authentic substance, work and play, progress and chillin’, the best of both perspectives to navigate the next steps forward through this uncharted territory.
Produced by the beat making legend Phoniks, co-founder of Don’t Sleep Records, Diggis positive lyrics and energy flow over the super smooth instrumental very confidently and naturally; a very suitable match of energies.
The track is a sequel to ‘Straight Chillin’ (Pt1)’ on his debut album, Small Town Stories. It felt like the right time to release this to celebrate his evolution and growth, and dedication on moving forward. ‘Straight Chillin’ Pt2 Be About The Balance’ sees Diggis elaborating on the original ‘chilling in the rainforest on your day off’ concept. To also rhyme about the balance, responsibilities in life, spiritual growth, and healthy living.
“The song is a self reminder, a symbol of growth, and a new chapter in the journey of self improvement and discovery.” – Diggis comments on the track.
