Big Rome Drops Raw and Honest New EP 'Mentally Disturbed / Scarred 4 Life'

Award-winning hip hop artist Big Rome delivers a powerful and unflinching look at struggle and survival.

Springdale, Arkansas – If there’s one thing you can always count on from Big Rome, it’s honesty in his music. On September 11th, 2025, hip hop artist Big Rome dropped his new EP ‘Mentally Disturbed / Scarred 4 Life’, and it’s one of his rawest projects yet. The EP comes with 5 tracks, each one hitting in its own way, but together creating a powerful look at struggle, survival, and self-identity. This is hip hop storytelling at its best. Along with the EP, he also dropped a music video for the lead track ‘Who I Am’.

Rome isn’t just another rapper dropping bars, he’s an award-winning poet, songwriter, and artist who’s built his career on turning real-life experiences into music that sticks with you. From his wins with the Famous Poets Society, to Song of the Year with IMEA, to global radio spins and placements in TV, films, and video games, his grind has been steady for years. And with this new EP, you can feel all of that experience come together.

The standout track here is definitely the lead single ‘Who I Am’, which also just dropped with a brand new music video. It’s hard-hitting, unapologetic, and the kind of track you’ll run back a few times to catch all the details in the lyrics. The video only adds to the impact, giving a visual punch to the story he’s spitting on the mic. Check out the video on YouTube.

Musically, the project balances heavy beats with darker undertones, creating the perfect canvas for Rome’s delivery. Each track has that bounce and swagger that’ll move your body, but the content keeps your head locked in too. That’s the balance Big Rome does so well—making music that you can feel in your chest while still taking something real from the words.
