BigHxlq337 Stays True to His Roots on “Round Here”
Some artists make music about their hometown. BigHxlq337 makes music from it…Born and raised in Franklin, Louisiana, BigHxlq337 has built his career on telling real stories about the people, places, and experiences that shaped him. Influenced by legends like Nas, Rakim, Z-Ro, and Webbie, he combines thoughtful lyricism with the soul and grit of Southern hip-hop.
What makes BigHxlq337 different is his dedication beyond music. For the past 14 years, he has worked as a teacher and coach, helping students at Centerville High School while continuing to pursue his artistic goals. That commitment to both education and entertainment reflects the same authenticity found throughout his music.
After years of performing with Undivided Band and sharing stages with artists including Z-Ro, Lil’ Keke, Devin the Dude, and Young Bleed, BigHxlq337 has carved out a lane of his own. His latest single, “Round Here,” captures the pride, culture, and community of South Louisiana, offering listeners an honest glimpse into the world he calls home.
As he prepares for the release of his upcoming mixtape, BigHxlq337 remains focused on creating music with lasting impact. Through every verse and performance, he’s proving that staying true to your roots never goes out of style.

International emcee Paisanos, Los Chicos Criollos have returned with their newest single. “Gunpowda Nosebumpz” is that rugged-n-raw hip-hop for the Los Chicos Criollos boys (U.S. Rhyme-slinger Kingdom Kome + Toronto, Canada mic-vet Che Uno) to spit their bi-lingual grime over. The track (Produced by RUEN) also boasts additional lyrical napalm courtesy of top shotta, Daniel Son.

Speaking on the track Kingdom Kome said “this is a hardcore joint and I love it! I’ve done several tracks with Daniel Son previously and he’s Che’s people so once we had the title in mind, we knew he would be perfect on the track.”
“Gunpowda Nosebumpz” is the second leak from the forthcoming Los Chicos Criollos LP , Merca Musica to drop on November 10th via Walking With Enoch Music. Though they have two Halloween themed mixtapes together (Brujos 1 + 2 respectively) this will be the first full Los Cricos Criollos album that is fully produced by RUEN.
Previous single “Olmedo Y Porcel” (named forlegendary Argentinian comedy duo Alberto Olmedo and Jorge Porcel) also received the video treatment and was Filmed on location at the El Almacen Café in Toronto, Canada by WIZDOME BUNITALL (for Fuego Films).

With frequent references to their shared Argentinian roots the album title Merca Musica translates roughly to the slang title of dope music. As Kingdom Kome states “we are trafficking this pure uncut and unfiltered product, which is our music, and we feel the whole concept just got elevated with RUEN’s contributions.”
