ABOUT BIG BOOGIE

Equipped with bulletproof charisma, a lot to say, and even more ways to say it, Big Boogie is a master of pummeling Memphis anthems. As part of Yo Gotti’s CMG label, he’s flooded the streets with speaker-rattling tracks as fierce and streetwise as they are braggadocious and fun. With a booming voice, he dominates trench tales, club hits, grind-set cuts, and introspective moments alike—scoring huge wins whether unpacking trauma on his 2020 breakout “Mental Healing” or turning up on Platinum-certified hits like 2021’s “Pop Out” or 2024’s GloRilla-assisted “BOP,” which also gave Boogie his national TV performance debut at the BET Hip Hop Awards.

Authoritative and authentic, he rose to local fame by unloading grizzled street stories, caught Gotti’s ear in 2018, and then proceeded to release at a torrid pace—with projects like Final Chapter (2019), Final Nightmare and Underrated (2021), Definition of a Big Dude (2022), and Ether and REDRUM Wizard (2024). The latter even received the Gangsta Grillz DJ Drama treatment. Now, he continues a fan-favorite series with the raw, relentless, and comprehensive Pain on Paper 4—a huge step toward Big Boogie’s ultimate goal: “I want to be a forever legend.” He will bring that same energy on the road this spring with the Pain on Paper Tour.
