Dark skinned Drake. Chicago’s Kendrick Lamar. Either way the Chicago lyricist who is an all freestyle artist, recording everything in one take, is a gem to the industry on his own. Bigga$tate has been hard at work staking his claim at a piece of the top. “Bigga$tate” the artist has only been in the game for a few years now but his moves are as fresh as his freestyles. After the 2019 release of his track “Lil Baby,” he immediately gained the attention of news outlets including ABC, who dubbed him Chicago’s Kendrick Lamar. The artist pitched himself to Fortnite and became the game’s first freestyle artist.
As a curated artist for the 2019 World Scout Expo, he headlined two performances as well as auditioned in front of numerous label executives. The World Scout Expo, powered by Rap Plug is not only a viable education and networking opportunity, but an opportunity for artists to audition in front of respected labels such as Epic, and Capitol Records. It was this event where Bigga$tate opened two performances and was asked for a third, in front of executives ranging from Mike Zombie and Steve Lobel to Jay E. Internationally he has sold out shows in Mexico not once, but twice. Bigga$tate has sold out more than 300 shows including selling out SXSW twice where he shared the stage with DaBaby. He has captured the attention of a number of big-name artists securing a number of opportunities to include sharing the stage with Kash Doll, Afroman and Lexy Panterra. Bigga$tate also appeared on Cameo and scored higher ratings than Tyga, Desiigner and many other artists.
Bigga$tate’s list of sponsors is lengthy and includes Pain Killers, and T.I.’s Akoo Clothing. The lyrical powerhouse is the first artist ever to be sponsored by a million-dollar dating app. Cind.app, was a sponsorship that sparked from a performance at Theresa Romer’s annual influencer event, which opened a door to some of the many “firsts,” Bigga$tate has already become. His music has been featured on countless radio stations and he continues to keep the attention of the media, featuring on BBC, Fox News, NBC, Bravo, and BET. There is no slowing down for Bigga$tate, as his accomplishments range far longer than just three years in the game.
