Digga D
Rhys Angelo Emile Herbert (born 29 June 2000), known professionally as Digga D or just Digga, is a British rapper. He rose to fame in 2017 along with his UK drill collective CGM (Cherish God More). His mixtapes Double Tap Diaries and Made In The Pyrex reached No. 10 and 3 on the UK Albums Chart, respectively.
His third mixtape Noughty By Nature was released on 15 April 2022, debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart. His fourth mixtape Back To Square One was released in August 2023. Digga D, originally from Mozart Estate, Queens Park, moved to Ladbroke Grove, where he grew up. Considered to be one of the pioneers of the UK drill scene, he is the founder of his current record label, Black Money Records (BMR) and managed by Groundworks. Some of Digga D’s music videos have garnered attention among law enforcement, resulting in a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) taken against him, and he has been in and out of prison during the singles and videos’ releases.
He was sent to prison three times before the age of 20. In January 2025, he was sentenced to 3 years and 11 months in prison for the importation and supply of cannabis. His custodial sentence ended in October 2025, including time served awaiting trial, but details of his licence conditions are unknown. He subsequently resumed his music career with November 2025 single “DPMO”, which charted in the UK Top 40.
Rhys Angelo Emile Herbert was born on 29 June 2000 in Ladbroke Grove to a Barbadian father and Jamaican mother. Herbert’s interest in music initially started at age 12 when he listened to Jamaican reggae and dancehall and subsequently started writing music. Herbert started his education at St Thomas’ CE Primary school on Appleford road. Herbert made his first song in 2011 at the Harrow Club alongside future 1011 associates M’Skum and Sav’O. During his years at secondary school, Rhys attended Ranelagh School for a year due to family issues at home. After a year, he went back to his old school. Shortly after, Herbert was excluded from Chelsea Academy secondary school for possession of cannabis by the Deputy Head and ended up not taking his GCSEs.
