    Rah Digga is one of my favorite emcees. I follow her on Spotify and have to say that I was disappointed that she didn't perform at any of the concerts at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, especially since Q-Tip was the curator for the program for a few years. That venue brought back classic hip hop. She should have been there in the mix. Hopefully, she will get to perform for their 2022/2023 season.

    I've always loved Rah's spirit and energy! I love the intro of the music video "Pass The Courvoisier" where she and Busta are in the colorful room. She's definitely an unappreciated and forgotten artist. Her career really should've been more successful. If it wasn't for her Busta Rhymes features, I wouldn't even know who she is, oh and the Cowboys video really helped too. Now that was a treat to have her rapping with THE Lauryn Hill!!! I wanna recommend Rah's song "Party & Bullshit" to anyone who cares. That song is dope. Thanks Let's Get To The Root for honoring Rah Digga!

  • @MrAmenta2

    This girl has mad skills. My favorites are joints she did with Busta Rhymes. On the video "Pass The Courvoisier", she displays great verbal chemistry, she's in lock step with Busta word for word, finishing words for him and so on. I found that beginning song to that video, off tha hook. Had she had the right people behind her to back her, her rap career could've went way further. Rah Digga, one of my top female rappers of all time. PERIOD!!.

    It makes sense that Rakim and Kool G Rap are influences because Rah was RAW.... She got caught up in the politics of it all with Busta going through his drama.. It's always harder and will always be harder for the female MC especially back then... I'm glad she's doing well.. Sn/Man that house fire ruined so much music Tip had...It was devastating... So I understand him being sidetracked..

    Rah Digga was always a fire female rapper. I have her first cd in my collection still. When I hear these new generation female rapper to me they don’t have nothing on the ones from the past. Rah had bars for days and that’s era I miss. She didn’t have to rap around her cookie or had bad she is all day long..just straight, hardcore bars that could go toe to toe with the guys. I loved her with Flip Mode..I’m just glad her and Busta are still good with each other.

      They kind of told their stories through other interviews. Diddy dropped all of them after 1 album because he felt they wouldn’t be able to hit #1 a second time. It led all of them to try to be independent solo artists. Most of them ended up leaving the music game and focusing on normalcy or just being writers instead of musicians. Some of them still make music like Dawn and Willie but it never charts. Day 26 just got “back together” for the Millennium Tour early this year. But they just did that for some money I guess. They still went back to working solo afterwords. You can find them on all on IG.
