Diggy Simmons Inks Deal With Atlantic Records

Little Diggy Simmons must have made his dad -- former Run-DMC frontman, Rev Run -- proud this week when he inked his first deal with Atlantic Records. The 15-year-old released his debut mixtape, 'The First Flight,' in December 2009, but attracted some major label attention when he dropped a recent freestyle over Nas' 'Made You Look.

' Diggy filmed a video for the track, titled 'Flow Stupid,' which quickly made the Internet rounds, gaining him a whole new arena of fans. The viral video cemented the fact that little Diggy could hold down a beat and soon enough, record labels came calling. On Monday (March 22), Diggy made a stop at the Atlantic Records offices in New York City, where his older sister Angela Simmons snapped a picture of the tween signing his name on the dotted line. The underaged, aspiring MC immediately took to Twitter, to share the experience with his fans. "Taking a tour of the Atlantic offices...This is real surreal right now, its official!," he wrote. "Real, thankful just taken it all in!"
