Rick Ross has a lot of respect for the new Dallas rap star, BigXthaPlug, and has dubbed him “Yung Rozay.” In a new interview with Complex, Ross revealed that the biggest, the largest, will appear on his next single, “Livin’ Large,” which is set to arrive Friday.
The track will also appear on Ross’ forthcoming album, Set In Stone, due June 12. The upcoming collaboration will be the two’s first. BigXThaPlug has a huge 2025, which included platinum plaques and a country debut, I Hope You’re Happy.
When Complex journalist Jordan Rose asked, “Who else have you been working with on this new project?” Ross wasted no time shouting out BigXThaPlug.
“This Friday, I’m releasing another single,” Ross said. “Another record, ‘Livin’ Large,’ BigXThaPlug on it.”
Ross then explained why the collaboration felt natural. “Shout out to BigXThaPlug, 600. His whole movement,” he said. “I love how he movin’ just as a young hustler. I see a Yung Rozay in him.”

That is a serious co-sign from the Miami rap boss. “Rozay” has long been Ross’ nickname, and comparing BigXThaPlug to a younger version of himself speaks volumes about how highly he regards the Texas artist.
Ross made it clear that his respect extends beyond the music. “And so, that collab just made sense,” he added. “And so, we gonna drop it this Friday.”
BigXThaPlug has become one of the South’s fastest-rising rap stars, thanks to his booming voice, vivid street narratives and undeniable charisma. Now, he has the backing of one of hip-hop’s most successful moguls.
For BigXThaPlug, landing on Set In Stone is more than another feature. It is a powerful endorsement from Rick Ross, who sees in the Dallas rapper the same hunger and ambition that fueled his own rise to rap stardom.
