Hype Diggler
Hype Digg (A.K.A Hype Diggler) (born Aaron Patterson) is finally ready to hit the industry and bring Omaha, Nebraska to the forefront of the rap game. A true O.NE (Omaha, NEbraska) native, Diggler has aligned himself with hip hop for nearly 16 years and has been perfecting his Emcee skills and song writing ability for almost 14 of them. As a given, being influenced by the games greats such as 2Pac and Big is almost cliché. However, hailing from the Midwest, Hype embraced all types of music. Hype learned from the works of Jay-Z to Outkast, Daz Dillinger to UGK. From the likes of Snoop Dogg, 8ball & MJG, to Scarface, and the Luniz. He also held high regards for the works of a few local artists like Bear, and also Doezha Macn, acknowledging the "Stackin' Bread" compilation as an Omaha "classic". Early on, rapping along side local group P.C.G., the young Hype da 3rd Kid evolved in his craft and moved on to create his own group with childhood friend Tyson Bryant, doubling as Hype Contact. After killing the then popular talent show scene, winning numerous shows, cash prizes, creating a huge buzz, and recording several tracks, a debut album never materialized from the group. Back on his grind after a bit of a hiatus, Game Elite Records presents to you, solo artist, Hype Digg.
