One of the hardest rappers tackling the dark undercurrent of the hip hop scene, Big Pete perfectly matches any production he finds himself on. Since I discovered Pete’s music, I’ve had him marked as one of the realest artists coming out of Houston.
1. I was first put on to you when I hosted your track ‘GOD’S PLAN’ with Lil Disceased. Do you enjoy collaborating with other artists or do you prefer to be on your solo shit?
Nah i like doing my own shit s/o disceased for putting me on that track but i like doin shi just me or my bros hoode and fedha jones i grew up wit em
