Bigg Baggz Drops Explosive New Music Video '50K' – A Testament to Grit and Triumph
NC's Own Bigg Baggz Drops Explosive New Music Video for Single '50K' – A Testament to Grit and Triumph 'Came out da slums, ate out the trenches!'— Bigg Baggz, American Rap and Hip-Hop Artist NC, UNITED STATES, June 23, 2025 / / -- North Carolina's own Bigg Baggz is back with a banger, releasing his highly anticipated music video for the single '50K', a hard-hitting anthem that encapsulates his journey from the streets of Brickyard to the spotlight. Directed with raw energy and cinematic style, the '50K' video is a bold declaration of Baggz's resilience, hustle, and unmatched presence in the game of rap. Bigg Baggz's journey was forged in the streets, a story of grit and determination. The artist shares; 'Came out da slums, ate out the trenches!' Raised under the wing of his grandfather; a local DJ, Baggz was immersed in music from childhood. By age 14, he was spinning records at parties, learning the art of DJ'ing and the power of music to unite communities. Influenced by hip-hop legends like Master P, 2Pac, Biggie, and Jeezy, Baggz began freestyling at only 16, earning respect for his raw talent and authentic delivery. His early hustle—selling candy, etc., to make money—never dimmed his passion for music, which quickly became his outlet for storytelling and more importantly, for survival. Baggz's breakthrough came in 2002 with his first studio session alongside his cousin, producer Mark Sparks, known for collaborations with Anthony Hamilton and K-Ci & JoJo. This session birthed tracks for the project 'Cackalack Raw'. Later, as part of the group 'Woodland Mafia', Baggz released the soon to be classic 'Streetwork', building a loyal following through grassroots promotion and his electrifying performances. The artist's 2016 solo mixtape 'Only Trust God' solidified his place in the game, with standout singles like 'Only Trust God' and 'Trap Life'. The track '50K' is a high-octane banger that showcases Baggz's signature style—gritty lyricism, infectious hooks, and a relentless drive to succeed. Lines like 'You wanna book me gone cost you a 50, just got da coup and it came with the digi, nobody do it like me' reflect his unapologetic confidence and hustle. The song's production, paired with Baggz's commanding delivery, captures the very essence of his come-up from the trenches to the top. The music video for '50K' amplifies the track's energy, blending vivid visuals of street life with Baggz's larger-than-life persona. Shot with a cinematic edge, the video showcases his roots in North Carolina while highlighting his rise as a force in hip-hop. From urban backdrops to sleek, high-energy scenes, the video is a visual is a bold anthem of ambition, and love letter to his journey.

Opelousas Museum launches Neighborhoods Project
OPELOUSAS, La. () — Historic preservation has always been a priority as Opelousas continues to evolve. Now, Patrice Melnick with the is continuing that mission with the Where We Live: Opelousas Neighborhoods Project. 'The main idea of the project is to highlight the neighborhoods, and they have names like the Brickyard and the Oil Mill and Garland, and they're commonly known, but they don't appear on maps. So, we want to raise the profiles of the neighborhoods especially the profiles of the people who lived there,' Melnick said in an interview with News 10. The way the museum plans to accomplish that goal is by having residents take pictures in their neighborhoods along with written stories about their memories. 'At the end of the project, which will be the end of the year, we're going to print some of those photographs and we're going to have an art show,' said Melnick. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Melnick is also asking for assistance in labeling these special areas on a map of the city. 'We have one map that has the neighborhoods,' Melnick explained. 'Some of them may be wrong. So, we encourage people to we have a blank map with an invitation for people to come and draw in where their neighborhoods are. And even what's cool in each neighborhood.' With so much history in the city, Melnick says the people who live in it will tell the story of the city in the most genuine way possible. 'People are very proud of where they come from,' Melnick said. 'They're proud of their neighborhoods. It's a part of their identity. They have memories and a lot of associations, a lot of time that has to do with family and community. And so, it's exciting to hear those stories and to share them. And maybe it'll create a stronger sense of community between us.' For more on the Opelousas Neighborhoods Project, visit the link.
