Diggy Simmons "Big Shoes" AT&T Commercial
That's some "Big Shoes" to fill in, you know, because of his blood affiliation to Rev Run of the legendary group Run DMC (R.I.P Jam Master Jay). The kid has a great career ahead of him, yes the expectations are great but natural talent will take care of that by itself.
