Rah Digga (born Rashia Fisher) is an American rapper, writer, actress and activist. Well known as a longtime member of the Flipmode Squad, a Hip Hop group led by Busta Rhymes, she parted ways amicably with the group in 2007 and continued to have a prosperous solo career.. She has been called "one of rap's most prominent women MCs” by Allmusic and has been deemed “one of Hip Hop’s most skilled female MCs” in the book How to Rap. You can catch her on the weekly podcast she hosts with Lord Jamar titled the “Yanadameen Godcast”. Rah Digga is a resident of Newark, NJ.

Early on, Rah Digga was a member of the Outsidaz, a group that included Eminem. She went on to join Flipmode Squad after being handpicked by Q-Tip from a Tribe Called Quest where he spotted her performing eight months pregnant at a Lyricist Lounge showcase. After recording a series of projects with her new crew, Rah went on to achieve success in Hollywood making movies including Joel Silver’s blockbuster sci-fi hit “Thirteen Ghosts” and MTV Hip Hopera “Carmen” starring Beyonce.

 

After a nice stint on the West coast, she came back to Newark to pursue her true passions by combining her first and second loves, music and working with kids. She founded the Feed Me Foundation which recruits youth in the community to prepare and deliver food to Newark’s homeless as well as Lyrics Matter, LLC which teaches young adults music techniques and entrepreneurial skills in the entertainment field. Rah has been the recipient of several prominent awards for her work in the music field but her most cherished acknowledgement was being presented the Key to the City of Newark by former Mayor Sharpe James on the day of her debut album release back in 2000.

Dutty Winehouse from Norwalk, CT is a fresh mix of ska, hip hop, reggae & punk rock, and they performed at Vans Warped Tour in 2017 & 2018.
