Earlier today, Diplo hopped off of Twitter and Instagram to get his Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) on, and we learned a lot from the Mad Decent head. Sure, we've been following his DJ career and blossoming production credits over the last decade, but to have the people, his fans, hitting him with questions? You end up learning a lot more than you realized about the DJ/producer/father/visionary than you'd realize. Not everything is groundbreaking, but from music you can look out for in the near future to why he signed Dillon Francis, here are the things we learned from Diplo's Reddit AMA.
