Rah Digga (born Rashia Fisher) is an American rapper. Well known
as a long time member of the Flipmode Squad,[1] a hip hop group
led by Busta Rhymes, she parted ways amicably with the group in
2007.[2] She has been called "one of rap's most prominent
women MCs"[3] by Allmusic and "one of hip-hop's most
skilled female MCs" in the book How to Rap.
Rah Digga was born in New Jersey and went to study electrical engineering
at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.[3] She learned how to
rap by studying the raps of KRS-One, Rakim, and Kool G Rap of the
Juice Crew,[1] as recounted in the book How to Rap.
She worked with hip-hop group Twice the Flavor before joining the
Outsidaz,[3] leading to a feature on the track "Cowboys" from
the Fugees album The Score.[3] Being seen by Q-Tip at the Lyricist
Lounge lead to her meeting with Busta Rhymes, and joining his Flipmode
Squad,[1][3] later appearing on "numerous Busta Rhymes albums".[1][3]
Her debut solo, Dirty Harriet, was released in 2000 featuring Busta
Rhymes and Eve.[3] She also worked with Bahamadia on the track "Be
Ok" from Lyricist Lounge, Vol. 1.[3]
Her second album Everything Is A Story was due to be released on
J Records in 2004, but for unknown reasons was not released. Many
songs from the album had leaked to the internet in an unofficial
23-track album of unreleased material. Rah Digga is set to release
a new album, Classic, on September 14, 2010. Production is handled
by Nottz, and a promo single was released entitled "This Ain't
No Lil Kid Rap".
