Dallas rapper BigXthaPlug returns to Southern rap roots as he drops “BETTER OVER TIME,” an 18-track album with many guests. The project marks a sharp turn from his previous album, I Hope You’re Happy, where he explored country music. This time, he returns to the heavy rap sound that first introduced him to a wider audience.
But he hasn’t fully abandoned the experiments that made his last project interesting. “BETTER OVER TIME” carries unexpected names, because Ava Max joins him on “BURN” while Leon Thomas appears on “NO LIMIT.” GloRilla brings her Memphis rap energy into the mix on “FAF,” and “BELIEVE” pulls together Detroit rapper Babyface Ray and Lil Yachty.
Loe Shimmy shows up on “I LIKE IT,” while Fridayy handles a guest spot on “HEAL ME.” Other collaborators include Ro$ama and Belly Gang Kushington. Yet BigXthaPlug still gets plenty of room alone, so songs like “I GET IT,” “CRACCED,” “PEACE OF MIND” and “DOUBTED ME” keep the focus on his own delivery.
That mix of solo cuts and bold features says a lot about where he stands right now. Have you listened to BigXthaPlug – “BETTER OVER TIME” yet? Drop your thoughts in the comment section below.
