Finally, a Country-Rap Collab That Makes Sense
On “All the Way,” BigXthaPlug and Bailey Zimmerman stick to their strengths.
BigX didn’t even listen to country at the time, but he was a natural fit on the track, shouting out his home state as well as local heroes Pimp C and Trae tha Truth in his Dallas drawl. Only recently have they felt comfortable enough to give country-rap another shot, like when rap fan Morgan Wallen linked with Lil Durk for 2021’s drill-inflected “Broadway Girls,” which peaked at No. Once the beat clicks in, BigX is off, sounding even more comfortably in the pocket than he does on “Texas.” His bars are pretty run-of-the-mill breakup material — not as audacious as the ones on 2024’s “The Largest,” but also not bogged down by cheap country references.
