BigXthaPlug ‘I Hope You’re Happy’: Every song ranked from best to worst

BigXthaPlug’s latest album, I Hope You’re Happy, dropped on Friday, August 21, 2025, and is a star-studded affair. The eleven-track album, which explores the rapper’s failed relationship, pivots from his previous hip-hop projects.

I Hope You’re Happy boasts features from country stars including Jelly Roll, Bailey Zimmerman, Luke Combs, Darius Rucker, Shaboozey, Thomas Rhett, and Ella Langley. The Texas-born rapper revealed that he hopes to express himself more through genre-bending projects like IHYH:

“I actually went into it with a different mindset. I was going into it just trying to show that I was not just a hip-hop artist. I was trying to show that I was just an overall artist. I could do anything. But in the process of me doing it, I started going through a breakup. And when I first stepped into country [music], I asked a lot of country people, like, 'What does country mean?' And they all told me 'heartbreak and whiskey.'
