Big Rome's "Who I Am" Makes a Bold Statement About Struggle, Resilience, and Truthfulness
Big Rome keeps creating a lane all his own with hip hop that references lived experiences. He hails from Springdale, United States, and is an award-winning rapper, songwriter, and poet who has returned with a new project, Mentally Disturbed / Scarred 4 Life. The EP has five strong selections, but the leading single, "Who I Am," is not only the anchor track of the project, but a manifesto of Big Rome as an artist.
"Who I Am" quickly makes its stand. Not wasting any time, it is built on a dark, driving beat, several rungs of sharp delivery, and in relatively short order, the listener is situated firmly in Big Rome’s world. The song is not misleading, nor is it some part memoir, part manifesto. Instead, Big Rome opens the curtain, revealing struggles, grit, and the scars that have made him an artist. Rather than load the verses with artifice, Big Rome undresses each word to its decorous unclad authenticity, inviting fans to see the entries from his lived journal.
The release also features a prominent music video, which amplifies the emotional weight of the song. The scenes in the video correspond with the lyrics and make the visuals a unique sensory experience that adds to the meaning of the song. The music video feels like you are in the story of Rome, pain intertwined with resilience.
Big Rome’s credibility as an artist is supported by a long list of achievements. From being Poet of the Year with the Famous Poets Society, to receiving Song of the Year from IMEA, to placements in TV and film, to Showtime’s House of Lies, all are a testament to the versatility of his career. Publications like Hip Hop Weekly and Coast 2 Coast have published articles that showcased his work as a voice that needs attention.
“Who I Am” succeeds in balancing swagger with substance. The production knocks hard enough to move crowds, but the lyrical content sheds light, and you feel you have to sit and process the message after the beat is done. That is a rare balance to maintain the replayability of the song without pointing the blame to the underlying insight.
This single shows that Big Rome continues to elevate his game, sharpening his skills while remaining grounded in authenticity. "Who I Am" is the ideal introduction to an artist whose voice is as real as they come. Mentally Disturbed / Scarred 4 Life demonstrates Big Rome's story while confirming his place in modern hip hop as an artist who isn't afraid to expose his soul.
