REVOLT INTERVIEWS : BIG A !

REVOLT had the chance to Interview BIG A Live from Detroit City !

Here's little bit about Big A:

Born and raised in South Lebanon Big A witnessed 3 wars to which he lost a lot of friends and relatives and his album "Conscious Gangsta" 2008 was heavily influenced by the principles of resistance and the freedom to occupied Arab land.

He made a name for himself in the Detroit underground after sharing stages with KRS ONE, Invincible and One Be Lo to name a few.

His profile was raised after landing several interviews and features with Al Akhbar Newspaper, The Arab American News, SPIN Magazine, Yasour and so on.

Big A focuses on building his events around community, university and school environments in addition to performing at Hip hop venues from Detroit to Chicago to Minnesota and beyond.

His style is all about honest expression and sincere lyrical flows.

He met DJ Lethal Skillz in 2008 and started representing for the 961 Underground family since then. January 2010 marked Big A as the newest member of 961 Underground.

THE FULL INTERVIEW ( You Gota check it - This guy has something BiG to say- SO hear it out)

BIG A : Lebanese Power in Detroit !

Big A always carries himself as a rapper with a unifying message and is all about making strong steps towards the progress of that unity.

Big A was born and raised in South Lebanon yet his message resonates louder than the sounds of war.

He brings the raw experiences of a wounded country that refused to give up and lets you be the judge of it all.

He released the album Conscious Gangsta in the summer of 2008 and is currently working on new music projects.

The style is so “Conscious”: It will make listeners change the way they think and so “Gangsta”: It will make listeners fight for their true freedom.

BIG A was recently introduced as the newest member of the famous Lebanese Hip Hop Movement "961 Underground".
