Rap music icon Gang Big Ferg, born Thomas Ferguson in Marion, Alabama, is quickly making waves in the music scene with his latest single, which has already garnered over 33,000 views. Drawing inspiration from legends like Tupac Shakur and Nipsey Hussle, Ferg is not only focused on his musical career but also on uplifting his community with messages of peace, unity, and perseverance.
Ferg’s journey is rooted in resilience. Raised in Birmingham, Alabama, he and his single mother faced the harsh realities of homelessness, spending time in a Salvation Army shelter. These early challenges shaped his character, instilling a deep sense of gratitude and determination. “People should read about the person I am behind the microphone,” he says, emphasizing his authenticity both on and off stage.
His passion for music was ignited by a personal loss — the passing of his younger brother, who first introduced him to the world of music by bringing him into a studio session. Despite the heartbreak, Gang Big Ferg honors his brother’s memory through every track, channeling his pain into his art and using it as motivation to keep pushing forward in his career.
