Big Buxks isn’t just stepping into 2025 – he’s taking over with Free Smoke 3. The Kentucky native is pushing the envelope with his latest project, blending gritty hip-hop with smooth R&B and unfiltered storytelling. From start to finish, the album hits hard, offering a perfect mix of catchy bangers and deep introspection.
After turning heads at Rolling Loud Miami and SXSW, Big Buxks is proving he’s got what it takes to break through, even as an independent artist. No major label backing, but he still managed to rack up 60K streams last year. That drive and hustle shine through on Free Smoke 3, where every track paints a picture of his personal journey, touching on everything from the struggle to the come-up.
Big Buxks says he wants listeners to experience the album on a deeper level: “I want people to listen to Free Smoke 3 and have an out-of-body experience. Light your smoke or drink your drink and take in all the lyrics. Every time DJ Famgoon and I do a project together, it’s out of this world.” This is why he put so much thought into the album cover – he wanted it to reflect that same otherworldly vibe, giving fans a visual representation of the experience that comes with listening.
This isn’t just an album – it’s a movement. Whether you’re in it for the heavy bars or the smooth vibes, Free Smoke 3 gives you both, serving a soundtrack for the grind and the growth. If you haven’t tapped in yet, now’s your chance.
