BigXthaPlug affirms his status as The Biggest Stepper. Today, the Dallas rapper continues his hot streak with a brand new music video for his Billboard Hot 100 single “Mmhmm.” Watch the full music video above.
In the video, BigX steps into the spotlight as a sought-after rapper, punctuating that step forward with a daring leap of faith out of a helicopter – which serves as a metaphor for BigX’s own success as a hip-hop artist. More than anything, the “Mmhmm” video showcases how risk-taking isn’t about jumping on every opportunity, but with the right approach, you can achieve anything that you set your mind to. The video features crazed fans, a daring sky-diving attempt, news casting, and more as BigX delivers his slick rhymes.
A highlight track from The Biggest EP, “Mmhmm” is packed with slick rhymes and witty one-liners. It’s a punchy and sharply-written bop that tells the story of his rise to fame, accentuated by a syrupy swagger that persists throughout the song’s entirety.
At the tail-end of 2023, BigXthaPlug celebrated a huge milestone in his burgeoning career. On Tuesday, December 12, 2023, it was revealed that the AMAR rapper made his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 as his song “Mmhmm” debuted at No. 93.
BigX’s smash single was preceded by his aforementioned debut studio album, AMAR. The solo set, released via UnitedMasters, is home to the RIAA Gold-Certified hit “Texas.” Plus, the critically acclaimed project topped the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart for 13 consecutive weeks.
Elsewhere, BigX also made history on his own terms. The Biggest, released December 1, 2023, made its charting debut at No. 138 on the Billboard 200 – marking BigX’s first Hot 100 entry – with 11,000 equivalent album units earned in its opening week, according to Luminate.

“BigXthaPlug capped off his banner year with the release of a new EP” – Billboard
“In another life, he could have done voiceover work for movie trailers or acted as cartoon villains, but, thankfully, he’s a rapper because he’s damn good.” – Pitchfork
“Booming but relaxed, with his saliva-coating syllables like codeine, BigX’s voice is perfect for cutting through trunk-knocking 808s and strutting over pitched soul samples… his name will likely ring out beyond Texas very soon.” – SPIN Magazine
ABOUT BIGXTHAPLUG:
Affectionately known as “The Biggest Stepper,” BigXthaPlug is one of the hottest Southern rappers hailing from the heart of Dallas, Texas. BigX was a star football player from his early childhood up until his freshman year of college, where he was sidetracked by trouble and forced to find a new route. His first mixtape – “Bacc from the Dead” – and following singles (“Big Stepper”, “Safehouse,” “Texas,” and “Primetime”) helped him gain significant attention leading up to his highly acclaimed album, “Amar.” The debut album received notable cosigns and media praise from the likes of The FADER, Complex, Pitchfork, XXL, Genius, The SOURCE, and SPIN Magazine, naming him one of the ‘Top 15 Rappers to Look out for.’ Since the release of “Amar,” BigX has continued his hot streak by releasing the deluxe version of the album and his 2023 EP, “The Biggest,” which scored BigX’s first Billboard Hot 100 entry as his song “Mmhmm” debuted at No. 93. BigX’s smash single was preceded by his aforementioned debut studio album, “Amar,” which is home to the RIAA Gold-Certified hit “Texas.” Plus, the critically acclaimed project topped the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart for 13 consecutive weeks. AMAR also debuted at No. 34 on Billboard’s Independent Albums Chart and No. 4 on their Heatseekers Albums Chart, before spending 13 weeks at No. 1 on the latter list – making BigX the second artist ever to claim the top two spots of the survey simultaneously. On top of it all, he’s gained notable support and praise from the likes of NLE Choppa, Bun B, Shaq, Erykah Badu, Raekwon, Kai Cenat, Key Glock, DJ Akademiks, and was brought out as a special guest by Sexyy Red on her ‘Hood Hottest Princess Tour.’ All achieved while tearing down stages across the country on his headlining ‘Don’t Mess With Texas Tour,’ right before joining Kevin Gates as a special guest for ‘Only The Generals Tour.’ Needless to say, BigX has achieved massive success and cemented a name for himself as one of the prominent new voices in rap that’s here to stay.
