Meet BigXthaPlug, The Booming New Voice Who’s Becoming Country’s ‘Favorite Rapper’
BigXthaPlug compares his himself to Cam Newton and says he's the 'favorite rapper' of country stars like Post Malone, Luke Combs and more.
Growing up in Dallas, the 26-year-old with the deep, bellowing voice had gridiron dreams of playing in the NFL — and even at his Billboard photo shoot, he throws a football around and speaks of his success in the game’s terms. BigX compares his industry journey to that of former quarterback Cam Newton, who starred at a junior college before becoming a Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn University and, eventually, an NFL MVP. BigX’s in-house producer, Tony Coles, adds, “He has this sort of Martin Luther King Jr. element to him where it’s [a] preacher almost and his voice is very powerful, and you got the badass production behind it.”
