Towering over any room at 6’ 8”, the Mississippi-raised rapper bares his teeth with commanding bars and knockout hooks that prove impossible to shake. After posting up tens of millions of views and streams and attracting Gucci Mane to his corner, he asserts himself as a new voice for Mississippi and the culture at large with his 2021 debut on The New 1017/Atlantic Records. He joined forces with Gucci Mane on the single “Poppin,” amassing 30 million-plus YouTube views and trending at #2 on YouTube. On its heels, BigWalkDog’s single “Whole Lotta Ice” [feat. Lil Baby & Pooh Shiesty] quickly cracked 2.8 million views in under a week and picked up widespread critical acclaim, setting the pace for BigWalkDog’s upcoming project featuring singles such as “Nino.” “Mississippi made me, but I want BigWalkDog to be for the world,” he leaves off. “You can take your own feelings from it—I’m just being honest.”
