With several successful mixtapes under his belt, Big Tuck already has a solid fan base underground. Now the masses will get a chance to hear what this member of the Dirty South Rydaz has to contribute to the world of hip-hop when The Absolute Truth hits the stores.
Big Tuck grew up on the south side of Dallas, TX. He’s been in the rap game for over six years. “I was doing poetry in elementary and junior high. Then I started rapping,” Big Tuck states.
There was quite a buzz surrounding Big Tuck after his successful “Purple Hulk” release. He could have gone with any record company. “Universal gave us a deal that we couldn’t refuse,” says Big Tuck about signing on with Universal.
When people mention rappers from Texas, they immediately mention rappers from Houston. With his swagger and style, Big Tuck plans on adding Dallas to the tip of their tongues too. “Dallas has a clubbish super crunk sound. Our music will have you bopping your head when you hear it.”
Big Tuck worked with quite a few people on this CD. With appearances by Paul Wall, Bun B, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, Erykah Badu and tracks from Willieboy, Play N Skillz and others, listeners don’t want to miss picking up a copy of The Absolute Truth.
“Because of my swagger and what I talk about, I’m different than some of the other rappers you might hear out there,” states Big Tuck. “When you pick up my album, you’re getting a great album. There’s something to ride to. It’s the whole total package. It has a lot of crunk and energetic songs.”
For those who are looking to get into the rap game, Big Tuck leaves this advice. “Stay focused. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Do what you have to do and think ahead on everything.”
Big Tuck is very appreciative of his fans and appreciates the love of the Dirty South Rydaz and the Universal family. To find out what’s going on in Big Tuck’s world, visit one of his websites: www.myspace.com/bigtuck or http://www.big-tuck.com/
