Big Tuck’s Tha Absolute Truth hits stores on December 12

Big Tuck is taking a different approach with this album. "I have a lot to bring to the table as an artist," shares Tuck. "I know how to write, play and compose music. I have been playing the drums my entire life, as well as writing poetry."

The album's lead single - "Tussle" - is a fiery club anthem with an actual message. "It's a fight song," Big Tuck states. "I'm trying to tell people to fight straight up if they have to and not give in and start shooting." While "Tussle" should help push Big Tuck into the limelight, he also shows his versatility and conceptual ability with the album's most heartfelt track "Southside." "It came from the heart and it's a real story about my life and everything I went through,” Tuck humbly expresses.

With guest appearances by Slim Thug, Bun B, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire and Erykah Badu, and beats by the T-Town production staff (Milk, Willieboy & O'E), Play-N-Skillz, Mr. Lee and Big Tyme, Tha Absolute Truth is primed to put Dallas on the hip-hop map. With the rest of the DSR click releasing albums later this year, it's up to Big Tuck to get the ball rolling in the right direction. Tuck is up to the challenge and is ready to make history. "Mark my words," says Tuck. "I have the realest album of the year.”
