BigXThaPlug’s new album, I Hope You’re Happy, sees the Dallas rapper daringly fuse his gritty rap roots with country flair, delivering a genre-defying sound that feels both fresh and authentic. The album boasts a roster of heavyweight country collaborators including Darius Rucker, Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett, Jelly Roll, Bailey Zimmerman, Ella Langley, Shaboozey, Ink, and Tucker Wetmore, ensuring each track brings its own distinct personality and crossover appeal. Lead single “All the Way” featuring Bailey Zimmerman, produced by BandPlay and Charley Cooks, marries heartfelt Southern melodies with rap cadence, and has already cracked the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The follow-up single “Home” with Shaboozey delivers emotional weight, blending acoustic guitars and trap rhythms under the production of Charley Cooks, BandPlay, Dave Cohen, Tony Esterly, and Sean Cook. A third taste of the album, “Hell At Night” with Ella Langley, ups the ante with its twangy, revenge- soaked charm and has garnered praise for its surprising yet seamless fit. Throughout the record, BigXThaPlug balances his signature swagger with reflective lyricism, staying true to his rap identity while leaning into country-styled beats and storytelling. Despite initially being conceived as an EP, the project’s expanded full-length format reflects its broad vision and collaborative ambition.
