Diligentz

about

At the forefront of the Bay Area's Punk Rock movement is Diligentz, a group of four young, talented and gifted rappers, each with their own distinct personalities and style. Born and raised in various parts of the San Francisco Bay Area, group members Jay Ant, Star, Pranksta The Kidd and Damey, formed the group while in high school. Each member of Diligentz started rapping at a young age: Damey started at age 10; Pranksta The Kidd first rapped at a talent show in the sixth grade; Star started rapping in the ninth grade; Jay Ant started rapping in elementary school, though he didn't start making beats until the ninth grade. The members of Diligentz grew up listening to legendary Hip Hop artists, like Rakim, KRS-1, Heavy D and Run DMC. Renowned R & B artists, such as Al Green, Michael Jackson, The O'Jays and Marvin Gaye have also played a part in influencing the Diligentz sound. They also credit contemporary artists 2Pac, Lil Wayne, Pharrell, Andre 3000, Blink 182 and RATT as some of their other musical influences. With a keen interest and knowledge of music, Diligentz would like more than anything to make their own mark in the Hip Hop world with their signature Punk Rock style and original sound.
