Rem Digga

Roman Voronin was born in 1987 in the city of Gukovo, Rostov Region . He studied at secondary school number 23 named after V. A. Sheboldaev; from 10 years old he started going to music school , where he studied guitar and piano. Then his fascination with rap began . As Roman recalls in an interview, a school friend gave Onyx a shut 'Em Down album and this made a strong impression on him ^[1] . At age 11, he first raped at a school party. Later, together with the rap artist Shama, whom he was familiar with from school, he created the group “Suiside” ^[1] .

2005–2009 : Suiside Injury, Perimeter

In 2005, the group recorded the album “Brutal Theme” at the Sobino studio with Hamil , one of the members of the Casta group, while RoEmDi met the whole group ^[2] . The album was released in November 2006, just at that time, Roman was called up for military service in the Armed Forces of Russia , where he served in the reconnaissance of the 108th Regiment of the 7th Airborne Division . Even while in the army, Digga continued to write music ^[3] .

Upon his return, Roman got a job, but as a result of an accident (falling from the balcony of the fourth floor) he damaged his spine and became disabled ^[2] . As he himself claims, this happened by accident:

And I didn’t rush out of the window because of love, as some people write ... <...> I just fell unsuccessfully onto the asphalt. I didn’t understand how it happened - I’m probably to blame myself. He always climbed home, loved five-story buildings, balconies without insurance, fooled around.

The performer himself warned fans in advance that this album would be “lyrical and snotty, where there will be a lot of vocals, romance and a minimum of feats, and it will also be a demonstration that Russian rap does not have to remain vicious and encrypted.”
