We’ve got a true David vs. Goliath situation unfolding down in Alabama.

It’s what makes country music so special. Rapper BigXthaPlug released his country-inspired album I Hope You’re Happy in 2025, which included features from country stars like Jelly Roll, Ella Langley, Luke Combs and Thomas Rhett. It was basically a rap album that featured a number of country artists singing the choruses, but it had quite a bit of crossover appeal in both genres.
