Enter, MysDiggi:
Known as the Natural Born Spitta, MysDiggi is a West London bred rapper, MC, host, actor, writer, entertainer, and voice-over artist.
A seasoned lyricist and charismatically energetic live performer, MysDiggi (formerly known as Mystro) has built a reputation as one of the UK’s brightest and most consistent independent vocal talents, known for his refreshing versatility, uplifting stage presence and ingenuity for wordplay.
Honing his skills since very young, MysDiggi emerged as a well-known young prodigy MC in early jungle scenes, and went on to set his roots firmly in UK Hip Hop, seeing him releasing a string of solo EP’s and singles, as well as lend his skills to releases with a who’s who of British heavyweights, including Blak Twang, Rodney P and TY to name a few. MysDiggi’s crossover appeal has also led him to feature on platinum selling albums world-wide, recording and performing with legendary international artists such as Junior Reid, Dawn Penn through to Wu-Tang Clan, De La Soul, Pharoahe Monch and Homeboy Sandman, whose 2016 release Kindness for Weakness saw MysDiggi as one of the only UK rappers to feature on a Stones Throw Records LP.
Currently Mys is on the final run of frontman duties, touring with Bordeaux’s Smokey Joe & The Kid across France and surrounding since the 2021 release of the ‘War Is Over’ LP which he featured on alongside a slew of notable artists.
As a fair well from the French outfit the ‘Smokey Joe & The Kid LIVE’ LP was released April 28th 2023 for those who missed or wanted to relive the crew on tour to experience the high energy generated also released via Banzail Lab.
Mys is currently working on a solo LP alongside High Focus alumni Pitch 92 and planning to showcase some new music during his live sets, so stay tuned as always Mutha Luvaz.
MysDiggi’s discography can be found here and his latest release Tip Of da Mysberg 3” is out now, which features an 18 track project of unreleased and original material.
