[edit] Bio
While the P$C's (Pimp Squad Clique) T.I. reigns as the self-proclaimed King of the South, it would be easy to call Big Kuntry King “The Prince". But, according to him, he already occupies a totally different position in a separate hierarchy. "That’s T.I.’s thing," says Kuntry. "I’m a muthafuckin’ Mobster."
Some dedicated P$C followers already know him as the husky brother featured on T.I.’s street anthem "Heavy Chevys,"(I'm Serious) while others simply know him as the voice behind P$C's "I'm A King". He is an instantly recognizable figure, but, he says, “It’s not about fame, it’s about letting the country hear my voice. I just try to keep it up and be consistent.” Consistency and all-around grinding are qualities that are promoted to the max in the P$C and the offices of their record label, Grand Hustle. Big Kuntry has relentlessly pounded the pavement with a wave of freestyles and songs popping up on DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz, Atlanta radio stations, and his own independent mixtape effort My Turn to Eat. “I do three songs a day," says the Atlanta,GA (Born in Charleston,S.C.) native. “I’m always in the studio."
As for his first official album, Kuntry plans to stick it out independently so the dollars will make sense. "'Still Kuntry' and ‘Throwback’ have both been on the radio, Now currently playing is 'Old Skool' and 'Yeah'. Who else can get two songs on the radio at one time? See I'm ready to bring my tracksheet to [major] labels, and see who's ready to break bread. But I’m sticking with Grand Hustle, 'cause that's where the real paper’s gonna be."
