Diggy talks to MTV News on set of Phil the God-directed video. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Kelly Marino Diggy Simmons Photo: MTV News Diggy Simmons fancies himself an originator, and his first official single, “Copy, Paste,” is a toast to the young rapper’s individuality. MTV News caught up with the son of Rev Run on the set of the song’s video in L.A. ” ‘Copy, Paste’ is just for people that are original, people that are innovators, people that just do their own thing,” he said. “I feel as though that I’m a person like that myself, so just making a theme song or an anthem for people that are like that.” The video, directed by Phil the God, features Diggy in a lab, tied up with tubes. The young rapper bypassed making a run-of-the-mill, club-set rap video. “It feels great working with Phil the God, that’s the director that did ‘Made You Look’ with me; he did ‘What They Been Waiting For’ and ‘Shook Ones.’ Those are like my three viral videos that I did when I was doing my mixtapes, and he just came up with the best treatment,” Diggy told MTV News. “It just feels right: We have a great connection. We’ll hop on the phone and talk about ideas, the things I want to do, the things he wants to do, and just get hyped off of each other’s energy, and the best will come out of that.” After making his stamp in the mixtape game with the 2010 DJ Premier-hosted Past, Presents, Future and Airborne , the 2011 XXL Magazine freshman is putting the finishing touches on his yet-untitled Atlantic Records debut album. While there is no release date set, Simmons estimated he is about 85 percent done. He also revealed that the previously leaked, Bruno Mars-assisted “Click Clack Away” won’t make the LP’s final track list. Diggy promised some “great features,” but insisted the album will focus primarily on him. “A lot of it is me: There are only a few features, though, but there are features that fit the songs perfectly,” he said. “I don’t really go based off of, ‘Oh, I like this artist, let’s do a song with them.’ I like doing that, but the way this went was, ‘Oh, he would sound great on this hook, let’s do it.’ Otherwise, it’s all me.” What do you think of Diggy Simmons’ new single?

Hottest Breakthrough MC finalist Diggy Simmons opened show at Highline Ballroom Monday night. By Jayson Rodriguez Wale (file) Photo: Alli Harvey/ Getty Images NEW YORK — If Wale is looking for a nickname, “Mr. Do It Yourself” might be appropriate. The Washington D.C. rapper released a new mixtape earlier this month called More About Nothing, the sequel to his breakout “Seinfeld”-inspired set, The Mixtape About Nothing. The set is meant to bolster his bona fides after a tepid response to his debut, Attention Deficit . Within days of releasing More About Nothing, the rapper announced a headlining set at Manhattan’s Highline Ballroom. And on Monday night, Wale was blue-collar in his rhymes and production. “Who got a camera,” he asked from the stage. He then proceeded to set up video shots from the sides of the stage. Elliott Wilson of RapRadar.com , which served as media sponsor for the show, recorded from the stage. “I don’t care,” Wale said about potential piracy. “It’s about y’all. We got the right angle, we got the left angle.” Wale delivered a rousing set, backed by a nine-piece band, infusing a go-go music sound along with his punchy rhymes. “Mirror, tell me I’m the realest,” he rapped over the bouncy “Mirrors.” “Since all these other n—as got gimmicks, not lyrics/ It’s all gun busting, it’s such a lack of the subject/ Could I be that n—a rejuvenating lovers?” Fabolous and J. Cole were in attendance during the set, and 2010 Hottest Breakthrough MC Top 5 finisher Diggy Simmons opened for Wale. J. Cole joined Wale onstage for their collaboration “Beautiful Bliss.” Cole then took over for a song as the upstart MC performed his latest underground number, “Blow Up.” Wale then took back the reins to perform one of his earlier breakout tracks, “Nike Boots.” “The revolution will proceed, unification of the DMV,” he rapped. “I will achieve, indeed, I decree/ I’m forming a new alliance/ Instead of one poising the minds, they lying/ I am only a fighter, in the form of a writer/ In the form of a poet, potency in the mic.” Were you at Wale’s show last night?
