Daniel 'Diggy' Simmons

We first met him as the precocious 10-year-old on MTV's "Run's House." Even then, he showed a penchant for performing and music. It doesn't hurt that his dad, Joseph "Rev Run" Simmons, is a founding member of iconic rap group Run-DMC. 2010 saw him go from freestyling other artists' music to signing with Atlantic Records. He then announced his arrival with an eye-catching commercial for AT&T featuring his song, "Great Expectations." At 15, this kid's stock is rising.<br> <br> <i>-- <a href="http://twitter.com/therealjethro">Jethro Nededog</a>, <a href="http://www.zap2it.com">Zap2it</a></i><br> <br> <b>Related</b>:<br> <br> <a href="http://people.zap2it.com/p/diggy-simmons/548594">Diggy Simmons profile on Zap2it</a>
