Breaking Boundaries: How BigXthaPlug is Redefining Hip-Hop

BigXthaPlug is making waves in the music industry, and he's doing it his way. When he found out he was named Variety's hip-hop disruptor of the year, his first thought was to laugh. He wondered if being called a disruptor was a good thing or a bad thing. But then he realized it meant he was making noise, and he's okay with that. He sees himself as the good version of the class clown. BigXthaPlug's rise to fame hasn't been typical. In just a few years, he's gone from being a local favorite to a national star. He's known for his heavy bars and country soul, and he's done it all while staying independent. His recent hit, "All the Way, " featuring Bailey Zimmerman, is a perfect example of his ability to blend genres. The song debuted at number five on the Hot 100, showing that his unique style resonates with a wide audience. The song "All the Way" has an interesting backstory. BigX originally made it for Morgan Wallen a few years ago, but Wallen never ended up using it. BigX knew it was a great song, so he kept it around. When he heard Bailey Zimmerman's version, he knew they had found their man. The song's success has opened up a whole new fan base for BigX. Behind the scenes, "All the Way" was a collaborative effort. Producer Charley Cooks started sketching out guitar loops when he heard BigX wanted to explore country music. He sent those ideas to Ben Johnson, who wrote the hook with Jenna and KK Johnson. Then, Bandplay took it from there. For Bandplay, the genre fusion came naturally. He's been around the country sound all the time, so he just took what he already heard and put his own hip-hop spin on it. BigX sees a clear connection between rap and country. He says it's all about storytelling and substance. The song's success has shown that he's capable of bridging cultures. He admits he was nervous at first, but he's glad he took the risk. The country establishment also reacted favorably, giving him 100% support. Breaking rules is not just a creative mantra for BigX; it's a mission. He's proud to be independent and has built his empire from the ground up. His focus is now on expansion. He wants to conquer everything: movies, commercials, his own label. He's trying to get his artists to be bigger than he is and retire early as a mogul. But he's quick to remember why he first picked up a mic. It's not for fame or the internet; it's to take care of his kids.
