Dig Mode the Master aka Random Thoughts aka Ron Simmons has been making music for years as a current or former member of 7th Street Coincidence, Hecatomb, Neon Autumn, and Polkadot Mayhem. A rapper heralded by other emcees in the midwest, Dig Mode possesses the ability to combine the rhyme schemes, cadence, and craft of a hip-hop head with the emotion, struggle, and love of the hard-working everyman. As we anxiously await his debut solo album and future projects with fellow rapper Lucas Dix, this compilation of features gives listeners a chance to see the greatness that is.
