Diggy had a big 2018, with the release of his sophomore album Lighten Up, a role on the Black-ish spinoff show Grown-ish, and an enlightening trip to Ghana for the Full Circle Festival with other members of black Hollywood elite. But he’s looking to continue his run into the new year, and the Dionte-directed video for “Anchors” sees him unloading nearly four minutes straight of bars over an emotive evening ride through Los Angeles.
“The song is a true, unfiltered stream consciousness. There are no hooks, pauses or breaks,” Diggy told VIBE about the offering from Lighten Up. “There are a few boastful moments where I’m speaking to who I am and what I’m capable of—and there other moments where I speak on how I feel, or the perceptions of others. It’s a great taste of what my album is as a whole. Unveiling the different layers of myself and moments I’ve had these past few years.”
The music video for “Anchors” comes after the January release of the song “Lingo” with Jevon and Kida Kudz, and promises of an upcoming tour and another new project to be released this year.
