Blending Street Rap and R&B into a Bold, Cinematic Soundscape

Singer James Artissen and rapper Bigg Baggz join forces for their highly anticipated collaborative project, THE ART DEALER. This five-track body of work seamlessly blends raw street rap with smooth, emotional R&B.

Designed as a cohesive listening experience, THE ART DEALER explores ambition, relationships, nightlife, and the pursuit of success through two distinct yet complementary perspectives. James Artissen delivers melodic vocals and heartfelt storytelling. Meanwhile, Bigg Baggz brings sharp lyricism and street-rooted authenticity, creating a dynamic balance between vulnerability and grit.

The Project

The project’s title reflects the duo’s approach to music as a form of currency each track crafted like a piece of fine art, carefully curated and traded through sound. With atmospheric production, polished songwriting, and confident performances, THE ART DEALER positions itself at the intersection of modern R&B and contemporary hip-hop. The music production is crafted by James Artissen, Ronell Sessoms, and 24LMG. Additionally, Tory G handles the mixing. 

“This project is about chemistry and contrast,” says the duo. “Different lanes, same vision.”

Set for release on March 6, 2026, THE ART DEALER is poised to resonate with fans of both genres. At the same time, it will carve out a distinct identity of its own.
