Vallejo legend J?Diggs returns with How My Name Taste, a 14?track statement piece from one of the Bay’s most seasoned voices. The album is available now across all major platforms, delivering the mob music DNA, Crestside charisma, and lived experience that’s defined Diggs’ career for nearly three decades.
As co?founder of Thizz Entertainment, Diggs has long been a frontline carrier of the Mac Dre lineage, a responsibility he’s held through triumphs, losses, and very public battles. Recent headlines have kept his name circulating, including a 2025 arrest in Oklahoma tied to ongoing legal issues, adding another chapter to a life that’s always unfolded in the spotlight. But Diggs has never been one to fold under pressure. Instead, he channels the weight of his reality into music that feels lived?in, seasoned, and rooted in Bay Area culture.
Born Jamal Diggs in Vallejo’s Country Club Crest neighborhood, the rapper came up through the early hyphy era, eventually becoming CEO of Thizz Nation and collaborating with Mac Dre himself. How My Name Taste shows that even at 55, Diggs is still evolving, still sharp, still active, still speaking for the streets that raised him.
