Traum Diggs’ powerful voice, flow, and delivery resonate on every track creating a larger than life presence that far outstretches the emcee’s 5’7” frame. Growing up in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, Diggs, the son of Caribbean immigrants, fell in love with hip-hop at an early age and has spent most of his life completely immersed in the culture. His approach is pure nostalgia without losing sight of hip-hop’s ever changing landscape. His versatility and integrity as an emcee/songwriter allow him to cover a wide range of subject matter without fear of contradiction. Diggs left Brooklyn and relocated to Philadelphia, PA at age 17 to pursue a college education at Temple University. There he continued to “sharpen his sword” in legendary sessions with some of the best emcees in the city. During this time, Diggs formed the group H.M.P. with two old friends from Brooklyn and some new affiliates from school. H.M.P. released the EP, Dead End Kids in 2000. Shortly after the release, the group disbanded and Diggs joined with former group member ASAV to form the Traum ‘N ASAV Show. The Traum ‘N ASAV Show released two mixtapes, 2004’s Opening Credits and 2006’s The Throwback Series: Episode One which was hosted by NY mixtape staple, Bedtyme 357. The Throwback Series gained critical acclaim in the US and overseas and was the launching pad for Traum Diggs’ new company, 623 Entertainment. Capitalizing off the success of the Throwback Series, Traum Diggs released a collection of previously recorded solo material titled "The Essential Traum Diggs" in Summer '08 as a teaser of things to come. You can expect to hear much more from Traum Diggs and 623 Entertainment in 2009 and beyond.
