BigXthaPlug's Album Rollout Just Changed the Game

Forget Instagram tracklists — this is how you announce features in 2024.

BigXthaPlug is doing the promo rounds different for Better Over Time, dropping October 30th. Instead of just tweeting out a boring tracklist with a bunch of names, his team put billboards up across the country — but here's the move: each guest got featured in their own city.

Lil Yachty and Belly Gang Kushington got Atlanta. GloRilla's in Memphis. Ava Max and Leon Thomas hit LA. You got Loe Shimmy in Miami, Ro$ama in Dallas, Fridayy in Philly, and BabyFace Ray holding it down in Detroit. It's a simple idea that actually hits different — makes each feature feel local, personal, like the artist belongs in that space.

In a world where album rollouts blur together, this kind of creative thinking stands out. It's not groundbreaking technology or some viral stunt that'll be forgotten in a week. It's just a smart, respectful way to honor your collaborators while building buzz. That's the kind of energy that makes people actually pay attention.
