Diggs is edgy. He's got mad musical skills. BARS! Always has super-hot, feminine women in his projects. Takes roles that reflect super well on black male identity. Props.

Damn where are the ladies just like you it's like a haystack needle you guys are hard to find if you already spoken for are married. The ones that left out here are ragley young and old.

Thanks, Daveed. Just made songs that no one will listen to.
