BigXthaPlug with Stella Lefty

BigXthaPlug, one of music’s most magnetic and genre-bending new voices, is coming to the 2026 Kansas State Fair.  Known for his raw storytelling, unapologetic lyrics and undeniable presence on the mic, BigX is reshaping what modern hip-hop can look and sound like. His RIAA platinum-certified singles “Texas,” “Mmhmm” and “Levels” laid the foundation for his breakthrough sophomore album, Take Care, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and has since amassed more than 3 billion streams. BigX has been recognized as XXL’s 2025 Best New Artist, Amazon Music’s 2024 Breakthrough Hip-Hop Artist, a member of the XXL 2024 Freshman Class and a 2025 iHeartRadio Best New Rap Artist nominee.

While BigX first made his name in hip-hop, his recent country crossover has introduced him to an even wider audience. His breakout hit “All The Way” featuring Bailey Zimmerman debuted at No. 1 on Spotify’s USA Charts and topped both the Hot Rap Songs and Hot Country Songs charts, while follow-ups and collaborations with Shaboozey, Jessie Murph and Teddy Swims continued blending country storytelling with Texas-rooted hip-hop grit. His country-inspired album, I Hope You’re Happy, featuring Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Darius Rucker, Shaboozey, Thomas Rhett and Ella Langley, became the only album in the last 10 years to rank in the top two on both Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Country Albums charts.
