OG Bobby Billions at Pour Choices

Date TBA

OG Bobby Billions is a rapper, producer and songwriter from the highly favored Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas, TX.
His distinctively deep, raspy voice has become Bobby's artistic trademark over the course of his short career and has helped build a solid fan base throughout Texas and beyond. Bobby's debut album 'Holy Goat’ arrived on Easter 2020 and has already created significant buzz online from top media outlets like Elevator and SayCheeseTV.
Mixing vivid tales of street life with church-like choirs creates the "ghetto gospel" sound that rings throughout the project. On songs like “Billievers”, “Blessings” and the captivating lead single “Outside”, Billions delivers soulful melodies coupled with deeply confessional lyrics that offer an unobstructed look into the artist’s life.
When discussing the catalyst behind his music's current direction, Bobby admits that it was the tragic loss of his grandfather and a best friend within the span of a few months that caused him to redirect the focus of his debut project. Being raised by his grandparents for most of his younger years meant Bobby spent an abundant amount of time in church each week.
