Daveed Diggs grew up in Oakland, California, and got into hip-hop early, listening to artists like Tupac Shakur and Outkast.

The role earned him a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. He's also recorded songs like "Rappin Ced" with Clipping., whose albums include "Midcity" and "CLPPNG."
