Date TBA

Project: Big Jade – Pressure
With Production from Her Mentor BeatKing, and Appearances From Texas Rap Royalty, Pressure Announces the Arrival of a Unique New Voice in the Lone Star State Scene

Critical Praise:
“Beaumont, Texas loudmouth Big Jade has the best music videos. They’re a much needed break from the endless stream of fifteen dudes stuffed into an Airbnb, pointing guns at the shaky cameraman, and doing donuts in rented cars outside.” – Pitchfork

“This unrivaled skill, confidence, and charisma are the attributes that make Big Jade so interesting.” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Project:
Big Jade built a reputation with her unapologetically real lyrics and athletic rhyming ability, keeping her rap dream alive by shooting music videos while working as a hairdresser. Translating the outsized charisma displayed in her videos into full-length form, Jade shares Pressure, her debut project. With production from Jade’s mentor BeatKing–Jade’s rap game mentor, who discovered her through her freestyle videos on YouTube–DJ Chose, and Bankroll Got It, Pressure provides a fresh spin on the traditional sounds of Texas rap, packing enough oomph in the low-end to satisfy Houston club
