[edit] Biography

Tuck grew up in the notorious and poverty stricken South Dallas. Tuck when was asked said South Dallas "is like paradise and hell all in one. Because everybody knows you, there's a sense of community but there are also prostitutes, pimps, shootouts, drug dealers, and fights." Tuck attended the University of Arkansas. While he was pursuing his rap career, he was handing out compact discs to people on the streets. In response to his self-promotion, George Lopez, CEO of T-Town music, called him back.

Tuck said he is not rapping about materialistic things and explicit rap as much of the other hip-hop artists. Under the tutelage of T-Town Music CEO's George Lopez, Trinidad Delgado and Alan Powell, Big Tuck continued to prepare himself for his major label debut Tha Absolute Truth. "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."

His album has guest appearances by Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Bun B, and other artists. Its lead single is "Tussle" (the remix as the original version was recorded by the entire DSR group) featuring Tum Tum and Slim Thug.

He also plays as an icon to the people of Dallas. The song "Welcome to Dallas" gives the people of Dallas a sense of hometown pride as well as their own personal slogan, "Presidents get killed hurr". He is also a role model for many of the young people in the Dallas area who aspire to become rappers themselves. They look to his ability to understand all types of music and his desire for education by attending the University of Arkansas.
