The CMG boss wasted no time taking Boogie under his wing and invited him to perform at his annual Birthday Bash concert in Memphis in 20 to get his first taste of performing live. Before long, the track would land him on Yo Gotti’s radar. One of those songs, “See No Evil,” did exactly that and blew up locally in Memphis.

Because if I’m growing up in the hood, I’m just going to see hood stuff, and I’m doing nothing that’s trying to make myself successful.”Ī post shared by Big Dude the CMG newcomer puts it, his sound is buried deep in the South, meaning he’s “a country boy” and listeners will feel that undeniable Southern energy in each song he puts out.

I want to just do things different than what I was growing up around. You see what I’m saying? The money going to come regardless, the money is there.

“I didn’t want to jump in it for the cause, the fame, the money. “I wanted a different life,” Boogie tells HipHopDX. Boogie says growing up in Memphis means your eyes are always open, and the things he witnessed pushed him to strive for more through Hip Hop. He began his journey into Hip Hop in 2016 where he put out a few projects that caught a lot of attention. He comes from a background in music, having joined his high school band as a drum major, and that knowledge of music always pushed him to want more - especially when it came to rapping. However, another new addition to the team is just getting started on his journey and looking to bring CMG higher than its ever been.īig Boogie hails from Memphis, Tennessee, by way of Lousiana, and he’s a new burst of energy coming into the CMG family. With an All-Star lineup that includes 42 Dugg, Moneybagg Yo, EST Gee, Blocboy JB, Mozzy and more, not many collectives can hold a match to what CMG has done in recent years. Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group is one of the strongest labels in the game today.
