Dallas upstart and 2024 XXL Freshman BigXthaPlug is back with a brand new single. Titled “The Largest,” the track unfurls an in-depth account of his journey as a man and musician – out now via UnitedMasters.
The new single chronicles BigX’s growth and maturation over a funky bassline. He leans heavily into his signature syrupy drawl to address the haters and explain how the man born Xavier Landum became Tha Plug, and one of the largest influences to come out of the DFW music scene: “Safe to say I’m the biggest / the largest / been stepping on s**t since my mama stayed in them apartments.”
Back in July, BigX announced his inclusion in this year’s coveted XXL Freshman Class. He quickly followed that up with another major announcement, his headlining 2024 ‘Take Care Tour’ with special guests Ro$ama and Yung Hood.
Kicking off on October 25th in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the headlining tour will make landfall in major cities across North America including Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and more before wrapping up in Denver on December 12th. Known for his commanding stage presence, fans will get to see BigX perform some of his biggest songs to date including the RIAA-certified Gold single “Texas,” his Billboard Hot 100 hit “Mmhmm,” the head-nodding cut “Climate” featuring Offset, and much more from his impressive catalog.

With 2023 being one of the biggest year’s in BigX’s career, he’s enjoyed an incredible run so far in 2024, too. Back in May, he broke the news of his new partnership with UnitedMasters to launch his record label, 600 Entertainment. Since its inception, the label has successfully released the Meet the 6ixers mixtape, which has received press praise from The Fader, Uproxx, Vibe, Rap-Up, and more.
In other big news, BigX is celebrating a new career milestone. Just last week, it was revealed that several songs from his solo discography are now RIAA-certified Gold (“Safehouse” and “Whip It”) and RIAA-certified Platinum (“Mmhmm” and “Levels”). At this point, it’s impossible to ignore his superstar status – and he’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
As a prominent new voice in rap that’s here to stay, BigX’s prowess as a collaborator has been widely recognized throughout the music industry. From his recent feature on Shaboozey’s third album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going (“Drink Don’t Need No Mix”), to rumors of new features with global superstars Post Malone & Morgan Wallen, BigXthaPlug is squarely positioned to take his career to the next level.
