Kansas City’s own Big Stric isn’t here to play it safe. He’s here to remind the world what real artistry looks like. With his upcoming album “Not Like Them,” dropping November 14, 2025, the rising rapper from Killa City is making his boldest statement yet — calling out the difference between genuine creators and the industry’s manufactured products.
“There are real artists, and then there are creations. Which side are you on?”
That question isn’t just a catchy line. It’s the foundation of the entire album — and the fire fueling Big Stric’s purpose. “Not Like Them” is a project born from experience, conviction, and an unwavering refusal to compromise. It’s music that doesn’t just sound good — it means something.
A Voice Built From Reality
Coming out of Kansas City, Missouri, Big Stric represents the kind of artist hip-hop was built for — someone who lived it before he wrote it. Growing up in what locals call “Killa City,” he witnessed the kind of struggle and survival that can’t be faked. Those realities shaped his sound — raw, unfiltered, and fearless.
Everything about Stric’s music feels intentional. His verses aren’t coated in gloss or gimmicks. Instead, he leans into sharp storytelling, layered lyricism, and beats that hit with purpose. Each line feels like a page torn from a journal he lived, not imagined. That’s what separates him from the “creations” he talks about — and it’s exactly why fans connect so deeply to his work.
The Message Behind The Music
“Not Like Them” stands as both a declaration and a challenge. It’s a body of work that forces listeners — and the industry — to confront what they value most: image or integrity.
On songs like “Homie Ain’t The Homie” and “That’s Me,” Big Stric cuts through the noise with straight talk about loyalty, deception, and staying solid in a world full of imitation. Meanwhile, “Feel Me” captures the spirit of the entire project — a rallying cry for those who refuse to be molded by the system.
Every verse serves a purpose. Every hook carries weight. “Not Like Them” doesn’t follow trends; it sets a tone — one that’s grounded in truth, experience, and self-awareness.
Drawing The Line
Big Stric isn’t asking for approval — he’s drawing a line in the sand. This album makes one thing clear: he’s standing on the side of the real. “Not Like Them” isn’t just a title; it’s a mission statement.
The project’s release marks a major moment for Stric — a turning point in his career and a message to those paying attention. He’s not chasing hits or clout; he’s carving out a legacy built on authenticity and artistic integrity.
That mindset is exactly what’s earned him a loyal fanbase — people who don’t just listen to his music, but believe in it. His audience doesn’t want perfection. They want truth. And that’s exactly what Big Stric delivers.
What To Expect
“Not Like Them” promises an immersive, honest listening experience — a combination of hard-hitting beats, reflective bars, and that unmistakable Kansas City grit. The production amplifies his voice without drowning it, giving space for the message to land exactly as it should: direct, powerful, and unforgettable.
This is the kind of album that defines moments — not just for the artist, but for the genre itself. In an age where attention spans are short and authenticity is rare, Big Stric’s arrival feels like a breath of real air. He’s not following the crowd — he’s building a path that others will have to catch up to.
“Not Like Them” — November 14, 2025
When “Not Like Them” drops on November 14, 2025, it won’t just be another release — it’ll be a reminder. A reminder that real artists still exist. That music built on truth and passion will always outlast the noise.
Big Stric isn’t like them — and that’s exactly the point.
