Dallas rap powerhouse BigXthaPlug has officially signed with global talent agency THE·TEAM for worldwide live music and touring representation.
Music agents James Rubin and Tessie Lammle will manage his touring across North America. Agents Kevin Shivers and Max Mirabella will direct his concert bookings across the rest of the world.
BigXthaPlug keeps his broader business foundation steady during this agency transition. He continues his music management with Solid Foundation Management and retains public relations representation with FYI Brand Group.
The move follows a dominant commercial run. His 2024 album Take Care peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 before earning Platinum certification. In 2025, BigXthaPlug delivered an acclaimed country crossover record, I Hope You’re Happy.
The project debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on Top Country Albums. It featured high-profile collaborations with Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Shaboozey, and Ella Langley. His single with Bailey Zimmerman, “All The Way,” surged to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
BigXthaPlug has matched his chart victories on stage. He sold out all 30 dates of his Take Care North American Tour and earned slots at Coachella, Stagecoach, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Rolling Loud, Dreamville Festival, Wireless Festival, and Lollapalooza Berlin.
In March 2026, he showcased his independent label, 600 Entertainment, by releasing the collaborative project 6WA.
The signing continues an aggressive expansion for THE·TEAM across multiple musical genres. The agency recently secured worldwide representation for British vocal sensation Guy Cooper and R&B singer nomi., while Trinidadian soca powerhouse Kes joined the global roster under a worldwide representation deal excluding North America.
Takeaways
BigXthaPlug’s decision to partner with THE·TEAM marks a strategic evolution from regional Texas hero to full-scale global headliner.
Unlike artists confined to a single genre lane, BigXthaPlug commands rare crossover power, selling out hip-hop clubs while packing out crowds at major country gatherings like Stagecoach.
By assigning separate, specialized agent pairings for North America and international markets, his team ensures he can scale overseas without losing momentum at home.
Keeping his management anchored at Solid Foundation Management and PR at FYI Brand Group provides essential continuity while THE·TEAM builds out a larger worldwide touring infrastructure.
How quickly will BigXthaPlug’s crossover appeal translate into arena-level headline tours outside North America? Will THE·TEAM package BigXthaPlug alongside major country or hip-hop acts for high-billing festival co-headlining runs?
