Career



2018–2020: Beginnings and Ei8ht Mile


Diggs began rapping in 2018, under the name "DigDat". He gained recognition with his single "Air Force", which entered the UK Singles Chart at number 93 in September 2018.[5] A remix of the track with features from Krept and Konan and K Trap was released in the following months; the track then peaked at number 20 in December 2018.

He released his debut album, Ei8ht Mile, on 17 January 2020, including features from K Trap, D-Block Europe, Tee Grizzley, Aitch, and others.[6][7] It peaked at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart.[3]


2020–2022: Pain Built


In 2020, DigDat appeared on "808" by Da Beatfreakz, which also featured Dutchavelli and B Young. It would peak at number 20 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2021, he released "How High", which peaked at number 90.[3]

A few days before Christmas 2021, DigDat announced Pain Built;[8] it was released on 14 January 2022.[9] A review of the mixtape by GRM Daily says that the mixtape "feels as if it is a step in the right direction for both DigDat and UK drill."[10]



At the age of 13, Diggs was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was released in 2018 after serving 5 years.[11][12]
