 From the streets of Brooklyn to Philadelphia, David Shanks aka Traum Diggs is renowned as a no nonsense lyricist who refuses to assimilate to the music industry's current culture. He continues to keep his music raw and innovative with words that are clear, concise and always meaningful. Diggs is a self proclaimed "hip hop purist" and truly believes that hip-hop, at its best, is an instrument to educate and uplift the culture.
Do not think for a second however, that he won't craft a vicious sixteen to annihilate his competition when necessary. Traum is as polished and well- rounded a rapper as you will find. A true "throwback" who strives to regenerate the spirit of the golden era of hip hop when emcees such as KRS-ONE, RAKIM, KOOL G RAP and BIG DADDY KANE set a new precedent for lyricism.
Traum's frustration with hip-hop's current status is evident throughout his music. As he continues to grow and develop musically, his potential for greatness becomes ever more undeniable.
