You can’t deny that little Diggy Simmons has skills on the mic.  The only problem is that will the world ever look passed that we know him as Run’s little kid that was picking his nose on MTV’s Run’s House.

I didn’t watch last night’s BET Hip Hop Awards but I heard the highlight of the night was the above G.O.O.D. Music cypher that included Kanye West, Common, Big Sean, Pusha T, and CyHi Da Prynce.  The rest of the night’s cyphers included “freestyles” from Wiz Khalifa, YelaWolf, Raekwon, Tyga, Royce Da 5’9″, Ice Cube, Rev Run, Diggy, Busta Rhymes, Mickey Factz, and otehrs.  The night’s performances came from Rick Ross, Diddy, DJ Khaled, MC Hammer, Gucci Mane, Swizz Beatz, J. Cole, Dipset (Cam’Ron x Jim Jones x Juelz Santana), Big Boi, B.o.B., and more.  Hit the jump to view the videos of all the cyphers and performance videos courtesy of MWP.

A cool little mixtape and a nice little freestyle video over Nas’ Made You Look beat and Diggy Simmons earned himself a record deal with Atlantic Records.  Only if every inspiring and up and coming rapper had a father that was a legend in the game…

Yes, this is the Diggy Simmons or better known as one of Russel Simmons’ little rugrats.  I’ll give this kid props in that he’s got more skills on the mic then his sad ass brother Jo Jo but I need to hear more from the kid before making an official judgment.  This freestyle video does show that Diggy does has potential though…
