BigXthaPlug:

I feel like, for the first time in a long time, I’m talking about something from when a lot of older people that you know, they love music, they see that’s what they grew up with. And so now here is this young dude that sounds old, but he’s on these young, old beats, like I literally mixed everything up so that everybody could live it. And that’s what it’s doing. I’m trying to be something I’m not. I feel like that’s what’s got me this far too. I didn’t do music because this is what I grew up wanting to do. I wanted to be a football player. This is just, I looked at it as a hustle, a way to provide for my kids. I’m not gonna say that it wasn’t a part of my life, because it was always there, like it was always something going, but it just wasn’t the path I thought I was gonna take. Never was recording. I’m not one of those kids that grew up in studios. The first time I ever remember a mic being in my face had to be like 9, 10. Pops had a spot, and in the middle of that spot, it was just like a round wooden table, and it was a mic, you know what I’m saying. I guess the people that was in there doing what they was doing for him, they were trying to rap or whatever. And pops had probably to the spot, and he was like, man, n***as can’t rap. My son got more than what y’all got. And they put me on the mic, and I just got to rapping and I’m just saying sh*t, you know what I’m saying.

Keep watching for more!
