Big O.U.N.C.E. is more than just a rapper—he’s the founder of Murk 1 Mafia and a voice for those fighting battles both inside and out. Growing up, music wasn’t just a passion—it was survival. With a mother battling addiction and a father who walked away, Big O.U.N.C.E. turned to lyrics and beats as a lifeline, a way to process pain and hold onto hope. Inspired by legends like Ja Rule, Eminem, and 50 Cent, he began writing and freestyling at a young age, using music as a journal to confront life’s hardest moments. Though he’s only stepped into the music industry professionally in the last two years, his raw storytelling, emotional depth, and unshakable dedication have quickly set him apart. Through his personal journey with mental illness, Big O.U.N.C.E. found music to be a grounding force—a way to untangle thoughts and express truths that are too often left unsaid. Now, he's using that same force to build something bigger than himself: a community for independent artists striving to make their mark in an unforgiving industry. With Murk 1 Mafia, Big O.U.N.C.E. is creating space for artists to be heard, supported, and empowered. Because for him, music has always been about more than fame—it’s about connection, healing, and leaving something real behind.
