WHAT IT IS: Rapidly rising Bronx-based spitter Connie Diiamond has racked up nearly 4m plays on Instagram for her viral performance of “Ghetto & Ratchet” and 7m+ on the remix featuring Remy Ma—which has also generated 1m+ YouTube views. Last May, the breakout artist—who’s been rapping since the age of 14—dropped her debut project, Underdog Szn, showcaing her unapologetic sound, raucous wordplay and hard-hitting hooks. Collaborating with Don Q, Dame D.O.L.L.A. and KenTheMan on her single “Move (Remix),” Diiamond is making waves that extend beyond her borough. Her presence is also felt on the official Rap Sh!t season two soundtrack, released via Issa Rae’s Raedio/Def Jam.
