Pirate Rapper Big Ro6 Spells ‘Viral’ With an ‘ARRRR…’
Big Ro6's pirate-themed rap song "Decisions" is exploding in streams after going viral online.
As Joey Bada$$ handles the West Coast in a still-unfurling, months-long rap beef, an entirely different wave is flooding out of the Midwest – Indiana, to be exact. The song did its thing throughout the holiday season and into the new year, but after Ryan Coogler’s Sinners hit theatres (April 18), the movie’s exploration of Black and Irish music helped attune consumer’s ears to the Gaelic-esque, “pirate” inflections in Big Ro6’s tone on “Decisions.” On May 2, Big Ro6 dropped the track’s official music video, gifting people a visual to attach to their social media posts about the song. Co-starring Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, the full-length feature finds The Weeknd portraying a fictionalized version of himself in a psychological thriller that he also co-wrote and co-produced.
