Ra Diggs Faces Life After Brooklyn Drug Arrest
Murda Team emcee Ra Diggs was arrested in Manhattan on Tuesday. Federal officers charged the rapper with narcotics distribution in Brooklyn’s Gowanus housing projects. Authorities have been tracking Diggs, real name Ronald Herron, and eight other men for over two years even using Diggs’ Twitter account and YouTube videos to keep tabs on his activities.
During their investigation, which began in 2008, Federal officers made dozens of undercover buys outside of the Gowanus Houses, the New York Daily News is reporting. Diggs is also being investigated in regards to several open murder cases. The rapper previously beat murder charges in 2002.
Diggs is probably best known for his association with Murda Team, a Rap group which also features Uncle Murda and rising star Waka Flocka Flame. His biggest break may have been his appearance on Waka’s Flockaveli album which was released the same day Diggs was arrested. If convicted the Brooklyn native faces life in prison.

In terms of their career this is a couple of notches down from getting killed cos they don't get the fame that follows their _____ [insert form of death]... Ra Diggs and his project with Uncle Murder and Waka Flocka looked very promising. never mind you gotta take the rough with the smooth as we've seen so often in this game...!

Review: GLC album showcase
It was great to see a US hip hop star grace the small intimate surroundings of the store and reminded me of the in-store performances that used to happen in hip hop record store ‘Deal Real’. Warming the crowd up for GLC’s peformance (besides the endless supply of free drink, shoutout to the good folks at Abuelo rum for keeping it flowing!!) were special guests DJs Charlee Brown, Mr Thing, and 279 along side two of my favourite artists in the UK Hip hop scene Mystro and Skandal which in itself was a line up to sell out a club on a Friday night!
I was lucky enough to get a video interview with GLC himself so look out for it on my video channel soon!
