The titans are clashing on screen and in the studio! To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Monsterverse and the epic return of Godzilla and Kong, two of hip hop’s hottest rising stars, BigXThePlug and Ro$ama, just dropped a monster collab track, “Beast Mode.”
This ain’t your average movie theme song, though. “Beast Mode” is a banger that weaves together BigXThePlug’s signature flow and Ro$ama’s beats with the epic grandeur of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. This collab is a team effort between Warner Bros. Pictures and UnitedMasters.

The Masterminds: BigXThePlug and Ro$ama
BigXThePlug, aka “The Biggest Stepper,” hails from the heart of Dallas, Texas. This dude’s been making serious waves lately with his debut mixtape “Bacc from the Dead” and hit singles like “Big Stepper,” “Mr. Trouble,” “Safehouse,” and his recent RIAA-certified Gold track “Texas.” BigX even scored a nomination for Best Breakthrough Hip Hop Artist at the BET Hip Hop Awards, with “Texas” up for both Best Hip Hop Video and Song of the Year. New sounds, fresh visuals, and co-signs from legends like Bun B, Erykah Badu, and Shaq? BigX’s star is definitely on the rise.
Ro$ama, the Paris, Texas dynamo, is another force to be reckoned with. He’s reshaping the hip-hop scene with his unique beats that capture the raw energy of the streets. Ro$ama’s music is a sonic journey that blends storytelling, street smarts, and the undeniable pulse of his hometown. In the crowded world of hip-hop, Ro$ama cuts through the noise with verses that lay bare the struggles, triumphs, and dreams of his generation. His collab with BigXThePlug injects an electric energy that takes their music to a whole new level.
