Bio

While the P$C's (Pimp Squad Clique) T.I. reigns as the self-proclaimed King of the South, it would be easy to call Big Kuntry King “The Prince". But, according to him, he already occupies a totally different position in a separate hierarchy. "That’s T.I.’s thing," says Kuntry. "I’m a muthafuckin’ White Mobster."

Some dedicated P$C followers already know him as the husky brother featured on T.I.’s street anthem "Heavy Chevys,"(I'm Serious) while others simply know him as the voice behind P$C's "I'm A King". He is an instantly recognizable figure, but, he says, “It’s not about fame, it’s about letting the country hear my voice. I just try to keep it up and be consistent.” Consistency and all-around grinding are qualities that are promoted to the max in the P$C and the offices of their record label, Grand Hustle. Big Kuntry has relentlessly pounded the pavement with a wave of freestyles and songs popping up on DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz, Atlanta radio stations, and his own independent mixtape effort My Turn to Eat. “I do three songs a day," says the Atlanta,GA (Born in Charleston,S.C.) native. “I’m always in the studio."

As for his first official album, Kuntry plans to stick it out independently so the dollars will make sense. "'Still Kuntry' and ‘Throwback’ have both been on the radio, Now currently playing is 'Old Skool' and 'Yeah'. Who else can get two songs on the radio at one time? See I'm ready to bring my tracksheet to [major] labels, and see who's ready to break bread. But I’m sticking with Grand Hustle, 'cause that's where the real paper’s gonna be."

MediaTakeOut.com has just disclosed to us that an Atlanta rapper infected her with Chlamydia. The rapper who goes by the name Big Kuntry King is a member of TI's group the PSC (Pimp Squad Clik).

According to the woman, she and Big Kuntry King dated for the past two years, but only once did the two have unprotected sex. Thats when, she claims, Big Kuntry infected her with the disease. The woman explains, "our last sexual encounter was in June and I have not been sexually active since [then] ... that was our first unprotected encounter." Then a few weeks later, during a routine pap smear, her gynecologist discovered that she has Chlamydia - an extremely painful sexually transmitted disease.

But that's not the worst part. Since she was infected with Chlamydia, the woman told MediaTakeOut.com that she now fears that she may also be infected with HIV. The woman tells, "my blood tests results will be on Thursday ... God forbid I have something that I can't get rid of."

The devastated woman is not finished with the Atlanta rapper. Aside from contacting us, she has also contacted the Atlanta Board of Health and has consulted a lawyer regarding a possible lawsuit. She offers this word of caution to any women who may have dated Big Kuntry King, "he is a walking time bomb, get tested immediately."

Grand Hustle & Big Kuntry King did not respond to our numerous requests for comment.

Big Kuntry is slated to release a album sometime 2007, he has recently seen success with his debut single "Yeah".
