Big Booom

Just because Nashville rapper Big Booom vividly pours the dramas of everyday life atop banging hip-hop beats, don’t take him for just another gangster rapper. He is so much more. From running the rough and tumble Tennessee streets to being caught on the other side of the law to releasing the hottest independent single, “Blame It On My Swagg” featuring Felonious Records label mates Zilla and Thorobread, sweeping the southeast, Big Booom has been through it all. And he testifies his experiences via his label’s forthcoming compilation Business Never Personal.

“My style of rap is like Cajun food. It’s real strong and effective,” says Booom. “I’m the seasoning to southern hip-hop. If rap music was food, I bring the flavor to it to make it even better.”

The blood cousin of former G-Unit rapper Young Buck, rap music has been a part of Booom’s being since he can remember. Rapping since 1999, Booom officially began his career after moving to Newport News, Va. and signed a deal with basketball superstar Allen Iverson’s upstart Cru Thik Records. He kept his name ringing in Virginia streets with several DJ Kay Slay-hosted mixtapes.

But after the label split up due to internal differences, Booom returned home and inked a deal with Felonious Records in 2004. Since then, he won over the hometown crowd with appearances on several other mixtapes as well as bubbling single “Blame It on My Swagg.”

“Just because you shoot somebody or sell a sack, that doesn’t make you real. I am trying to show the people what a real man is about,” says Booom. “Not to glorify it but I want to let the people know that there are still real people out here who are going through the same things that they are going through every day.”
