Both B.o.B & Diggy Simmons made it on Complex Magazine's list, The 25 Best Rappers 25 And Under, along with other young artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt, Casey Veggies & more. Check out what Complex had to say about the two ACCC members after the jump.
10. B.o.B
Age: 23
Label: Grand Hustle/Rebel Rock/Atlantic
From: Atlanta, Georgia
Active Since: 2006
Twitter: @bobatl
Best Known Song: "Nothin on You" f/ Bruno Mars (2010)
B.o.B has had more commercial success than most other MCs on this list. And while this may have soured some rap purist's perception of him, just because he's your little niece's favorite rapper doesn't mean he isn't sick on the mic.
While making multiple appearances on the Top 40 chart, B.o.B has also kept rap fans laced with mixtapes like B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray and EPIC, which are both stacked with serious hip-hop tracks. While his debut album, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, may lean more toward pop than hip-hop, there is no denying the fact that B.o.B has serious skills and, at age 23, he's got the commercial clout to do whatever he pleases.
25. Diggy Simmons
Label: Atlantic/Violator
From: Queens, New York
Active Since: 2009
Twitter: @diggy_simmons
Best Known Song: "Copy, Paste" (2011)
Diggy Simmons has the blood of hip-hop royalty in his veins and he's stuntin' like his daddy. It may be a bit of a struggle for the teen sensation to earn his street credentials—everybody watched him grow up on Run's House—but Simmons isn't just resting on the power of his industry connects. His three masterful mixtapes were enough to land him a spot on XXL's Freshman cover. His debut album may have flopped, but don't count Diggy out. He wouldn't have gotten co-signs from Pharrell and Kanye West if he didn't have a legitimate shot at blowing up.
