As many artists have embarked on their journey towards success, they have encountered many obstacles that tested their strength, integrity, and focus. Many rappers grew up in the hood, sold drugs, been shot, gone to jail, but at times those interesting stories tend to overshadow the ones who went an alternative direction. Although coming from a family of drug dealers and criminals Big Rich was amongst the ones who took the route that required endurance, being in his room making beats at 11 years old for the up and coming local rappers. From his own studio, to recording his rhymes, Rich decided to spend every day of his life to pursuit his once then, dream, and made it into his own reality. As he
ventured down his musical journey he faced many adversities that would make many people quit. Being overlooked despite his hard work, losing his biggest influence, getting a deal, to running his own label and media company, the good, the bad, Big Rich takes his listeners on a journey. There's no subject ignored, Rich opens his personal life up more to the ones who have supported him from the beginning. A combination of his street smarts and entrepreneur vision allowed Big Rich to find his niche and share it
