Young Drummer Boy

Young Drummer Boy (Rigoberto Diaz) is a Mexican-American rapper and producer from Pomona, California, known for his West Coast sound, street-rooted authenticity, and consistent independent grind. Raised by a musical family—his father a member of Banda Ruby and his grandfather a mariachi in Zacatecas—Drummer’s musical roots started on live drums and evolved into one of the most recognizable styles in LA’s underground scene.

Drawing influence from hometown legends like DJ Quik, Suga Free, and Tha Dogg Pound, he carved his own lane with a string of independent releases that racked up over hundreds of million of views across all platforms.

Still fully independent and rooted in Pomona, Young Drummer Boy proves that real artistry and hustle does not have any industry shortcuts.His latest album, Risked It All, is a testament to that mindset—self-made, self-funded, and packed with standout collaborations that continue to raise the bar for LA’s underground scene.
