HIP HOP BigXThaPlug

Another gem hailing from Texas, BigXthaPlug (real name Xavier Landum) has drawn comparisons to the likes of famed Swishahouse rapper Mike Jones, flaunting a raw, resonant tone.

Making waves in 2023, the 24-year-old ruled the Lonestar state with his attention-grabbing debut album, Amar. Elsewhere, singles like “Mmhmm” secured his debut on the Billboard Hot 100, while the collaborative track “Climate” with Offset made its mark at No. 48 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

With three projects under his belt, including Bacc From the Dead (2020) and Big Stepper (2022), along with an OG Ron C Chopped Not Slopped version of the latter, BigXthaPlug has proven he’s a force with enduring stamina.
