His single "Air Force" peaked at number 20 on the UK Singles Chart following the release of the remix featuring Krept and Konan and K-Trap; this was the first time one of his tracks had entered the top 20. His next single, "No Cap" with Loski, peaked at number 51.
On 27 January 2026, Tokosi was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 24 years for the attempted murder of Daniel Offei-Ntow, who died in January 2026 from circumstances unrelated to the shooting.
Career 2018–2020: Beginnings and Ei8ht Mile Tokosi began rapping in 2018, under the name "DigDat". He gained recognition with his single "Air Force", which entered the UK Singles Chart at number 93 in September 2018. A remix of the track with features from Krept and Konan and K Trap was released in the following months; the track then peaked at number 20 in December 2018.
He released his debut album, Ei8ht Mile, on 17 January 2020, including features from K Trap, D-Block Europe, Tee Grizzley, Aitch, and others. It peaked at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart.
2020–2022: Pain Built In 2020, DigDat appeared on "808" by Da Beatfreakz, which also featured Dutchavelli and B Young. It peaked at number 20 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2021, he released "How High", which peaked at number 90.
In December 2021, DigDat announced Pain Built; it was released on 14 January 2022. A review of the mixtape by GRM Daily said the mixtape "feels as if it is a step in the right direction for both DigDat and UK drill."
Legal issues At the age of 13, Tokosi was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was released in 2018 after serving 4 years.
In February 2024, Tokosi was arrested and charged with attempted murder, possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life/enable an other to do so, and possession of three 9mm Parabellum calibre bullets for a firearm in relation to a shooting that had occurred in Notting Hill in November 2023. The shooting resulted in Daniel Offei-Ntow being shot eight times in his head, mouth and body. He was convicted of possessing a firearm and possessing ammunition, both with intent to endanger life, as well as possessing a prohibited weapon and possession of ammunition without a firearms certificate in March 2025.
In November 2025, Tokosi was found not guilty of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life at the Old Bailey Crown Court. However he was found guilty of simple possession of a firearm (and ammunition). This is related to an incident where a gun was thrown out of a window by a passenger in a BMW DigDat was driving through Deptford, South-East London. This comes after the ‘Air Force’ star was found guilty of attempted murder of another man who goes by the name Lugavellz. Due to legal reasons DigDat is able to appeal his attempted murder conviction and could become a free man if he is successful.VE Media, 6 November 2025, https://vemediaonline.co.uk/uk-drill-rapper-digdat-not-guilty-of-intent-to-endanger-life/
