Few artists in today’s rap landscape embody resilience like BigXthaPlug. The Dallas native turned years of hardship, street hustles, and even solitary confinement into fuel for a fast-rising music career. His breakout single “Texas” gave the world a taste of his booming Southern delivery, while viral anthems like “Mmhmm” proved he could translate local buzz into national success. Along the way, he’s earned plaques, built his own label, and carved out a lane that’s as unapologetically Texan as it is universally raw.
In an effort to experiment musically, BigX decided to lean into country rap with his third album, I Hope You’re Happy, which expanded his sound while keeping his roots intact. But long before Nashville co-signs and high Billboard chart placements, he was making uncompromising records that carried the weight of his lived experiences and the swagger of Dallas Hip Hop. These underground collaborations, remixes of hit records, and menacing deep cuts should remind fans that BigX is much more than country crossover. He’s a voice built for every corner of the culture.
