James Artissen + Bigg Baggz Drop ‘THE ART DEALER’

Singer James Artissen and rapper Bigg Baggz have joined forces, for their highly anticipated collaborative project, “THE ART DEALER,” a five-track body of work that 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, while Bigg Baggz brings sharp lyricism and street-rooted authenticity, creating a dynamic balance between vulnerability and grit.

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 alongside Tory G on mixing.

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