BigXthaPlug

BigXthaPlug, the rising star out of Dallas, Texas, emerged as a breakout artist with platinum-certified singles “Texas,” “Mmhmm” and “Levels,” which helped launch his sophomore album, Take Care. The album debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200, and “Mmhmm” was recognized on Apple Music’s Rap Life: Best of 2024 and Spotify’s Top Tracks of 2024. “The Largest” also appeared on major year-end lists from Apple Music and Amazon Music.

He has also made a splash in the country music scene with his crossover hit “All The Way,” featuring Bailey Zimmerman, which debuted at #1 on Spotify’s U.S. chart, reached #2 on Apple Music, hit #4 globally on Spotify, and soared to #1 on YouTube’s Trending Top Music Videos chart. In recognition of his genre-blurring impact, BigX was honored with the Billboard Country Innovator of the Year Award in 2025 and a Billboard Future Genre cover spotlight.

BigX followed with I Hope You’re Happy, an 11-track project featuring Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Darius Rucker, Shaboozey, Thomas Rhett and Ella Langley. It holds the distinction of being the only album in the last 10 years to rank in the top two on both Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Country Albums charts.

He has also been recognized as XXL’s 2025 Best New Artist, a 2025 iHeartRadio Best New Rap Artist nominee, Amazon Music’s 2024 Breakthrough Hip-Hop Artist and a standout member of the XXL 2024 Freshman Class.

BigX has performed everywhere from the NFL Eagles Philadelphia Super Bowl Winner Party, Rolling Loud and Dreamville Fest to Coachella, Stagecoach and Lollapalooza Berlin—and his 2026 tour schedule is packed with equally notable appearances.
