<\/p>\n

Breakout Dallas rap star BigXthaPlug<\/a> brought his gritty, Southern energy to the desert this weekend, as he took over Coachella’s Gobi Stage on Sunday and collabed with Amazon Music for his very own “The Plug Shop” \u2014 a real-life, Southern Luxury pit stop that took over Quick & Easy Convenience in Indio, California. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Big X dropped his first-ever country single, “All The Way,” with Bailey Zimmerman<\/a>, a track that blends Southern hip-hop and raw country emotion. “Right now, it\u2019s projected to go No. 4 on Billboard <\/em><\/em>with no radio!” Big tells us of the track. “I love my fans. I love the good fans I got. We\u2019re just going all the way with this one, obviously. We gotta go No. 1. I\u2019m just happy to see the country lane accepting me for who I am.” At the time of publishing, “All The Way” officially hit No. 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After his set, PAPER <\/em>caught up with BixthaPlug backstage \u2014 as his friend and fellow Coachella performer Shaboozey<\/a> left his trailer and not long after performed at an overflowing stage. “I feel like my Coachella performance was one for the books, for sure,” Big X says. “I\u2019ve seen something earlier, a caption that said, ‘Coachella wasn\u2019t big enough for Big X.’ We come in with the same attitude at every show. Biggest smile, walk a mile. I just love that we\u2019re gonna be playing the big stages from now on.”<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Bigger stages are definitely in the works for Big X, who is also teasing a new country project. “It\u2019s country-based, it\u2019s country-themed,” he says. “But it\u2019s still me. I\u2019m still doing and being me. We got Jelly Roll on there, Post [Malone] is supposed to be coming through for me, we got Bailey Zimmerman, of course, Shaboozey. Hopefully, we can take that one all the way, as well.”<\/p>\n

When asked about a rising star he’s most excited about at this point in his career, Big X points to himself. “Just my growth,” he says. “I\u2019m most excited about sharing my growth with my fans. I feel like I opened up more with my fans. It\u2019s like we won now. I don\u2019t have just fans. I got them like Beyonc\u00e9 got the Beehive, Megan Thee Stallion got the Hotties. I got my Plugs and my Sockets or whatever you call them. My family.”<\/p>\n

Below, Big X takes us through his Coachella experience, including moments with his Plugs and Sockets, because, as he told us before we signed off on Coachella day three: “To the fans, to the PAPER <\/em>fans, I love y\u2019all.”<\/p>\n
