BIG30’s Brash Delivery Elevates ‘King Of Killbranch’

BIG30’s Brash Delivery Elevates ‘King Of Killbranch’

Nate Spurlin

BIG30’s content doesn’t differ from the status quo content that we’re used to out of Hip-Hop artists. BIG30, like most rappers, primarily raps about his disdain for the opps, how rich he is, where he’s from, and the number of women he entertains. There’s nothing to write home about there, however, what there is to write home about is the brash, straightforward way he’s able to communicate his thoughts. BIG30’s delivery sets him apart from the rest of 2021’s rising stars as he creates music that easily resonates with whoever listens to it.

Detroit or Memphis: Where Will The Next Epicenter of Hip-Hop Be?

Detroit or Memphis: Where Will The Next Epicenter of Hip-Hop Be?

As Atlanta’s dominance as the epicenter of Hip-Hop starts the backside of its lifespan, new cities have begun to explode with talent in hopes that their region will be stamped as the next epicenter of Hip-Hop. In my view, two cities have separated themselves from the rest of the pack to this point. The first is Memphis, Tennessee, home of break-out stars like Moneybagg Yo, Pooh Shiesty, and BIG30, as well as Hip-Hop moguls Yo Gotti and the late Young Dolph. The second city Detroit, Michigan, home to Hip-Hop mainstays Eminem and Big Sean has seen a renaissance with new rappers like 42 Dugg and Icewear Vezzo poised to carve out a niche in the game for the Detroit sound. Also sharing responsibility for Detroit's Hip-Hop renaissance is Babyface Ray and his new project FACE may solidify Detroit's up next status.

Gotti’s focus has never been solely on his own career with his business savvy helping him stay alive in a cutthroat business with a short-term memory. Over the past several years Gotti has been dedicated to finding the platform to best elevate CMG to the upper echelon of Hip-Hop artist imprints. In partnering with LA Reid and Epic Records in 2013, before moving to Roc Nation in 2016 to be overseen by Jay-Z, Yo Gotti and his imprint’s roster has risen to great heights in the last 5 years.
