Texas rapper BigXthaPlug and Virginia-born country artist Shaboozey have teamed up once again, this time for their heartfelt new track, “Home.” Known for fusing the grit of hip-hop with the soul of country, the two Southern artists continue breaking boundaries with a collaboration that speaks to both their roots and ambitions.
BigXthaPlug, hailing from Dallas, made a name for himself with his booming voice and gritty bars, carving out space in Texas rap alongside names like Maxo Kream and That Mexican OT. But 2024 has marked a turning point for the rapper, as he’s expanded beyond hip-hop and ventured into cross-genre collaborations. After dropping Take Care earlier this year—a project that pushed him past regional expectations—he’s leaned further into country-rap territory. In recent months, he’s worked with Bailey Zimmerman on “All The Way” and released an acoustic spin on “Holy Ground,” his collaboration with Jessie Murph.
Shaboozey, from Fairfax County, Virginia, has been rising fast in the country scene with his smooth vocals and cinematic storytelling. Fresh off the success of “Drink Don’t Need No Mix,” which also featured BigX, he returns here with the same soulful energy, but even more introspective. His unique ability to blend country tones with hip-hop beats has made him a standout in the new wave of genre-blurring artists.
In “Home,” BigX opens with a confession about the emotional cost of chasing fame:
“I’ve been lost on this highway, tryna figure out life on this road,” he raps. The lyrics, paired with trap-driven percussion and acoustic guitar, reflect themes of longing, regret, and the universal pull of returning to one’s roots. Shaboozey’s warm, melodic chorus adds a layer of comfort and familiarity, making the track feel like a conversation between two souls searching for redemption.
The music video, filmed in BigX’s hometown of Dallas, adds visual weight to the song’s message. While some fans were disappointed when BigX had to skip Lil Baby’s WHAM World Tour due to an injury, “Home” answers those questions with clarity. It’s not just a comeback—it’s a statement of purpose.
This collaboration doesn’t just blend sounds; it blends worlds. With country music becoming more open to experimentation and hip-hop artists increasingly exploring melody and vulnerability, BigX and Shaboozey are at the forefront of a cultural shift. They aren’t just making hits—they’re reshaping what Southern music can be.
As fans flood the comments with praise like “X boutta take over the game” and “Boozey killed it,” the message is clear: this isn’t just a trend—it’s a movement. “Home” isn’t just a song—it’s a signpost for the future of music that respects the past while paving new roads forward.
