Big West burst onto the Gospel Rap scene in 2006. He is a graduate of Pearl-Cohn High School and an active member of the Krunk Tite Youth Troupe at Royal Life International Church (Senior Pastors – Apostles Michael and Lorelle Rich). In 1996 he was in a tragic car accident that could have claimed his life. However, the Lord said No! His athletic ability earned him a full athletic scholarship to Tennessee State University. While his time as a TSU Tiger was enriching he decided to leave the football field and hit the battlefield for the Lord! His decision has baffled many. Big West simply explains it by saying he’s on a Mission and it’s to Save Souls. For what does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul?
