Big Jade Drops 'Who You Feelin Like': 5 Things to Know About the Beaumont, Texas Rapper
The north-side Beaumont rapper, mentored by the late BeatKing, keeps her 2026 run going with a new single.
Big Jade, the Beaumont, Texas rapper, has a new single, "Who You Feelin Like," released September 18, 2026, according to her Apple Music page. It continues a steady run of singles in 2025 and 2026.
Here are five things to know about the rapper behind it.
Beaumont roots and a hair-chair hustle
1. She reps the north side. Big Jade, born Atalia Young, grew up in Beaumont's "nawf side," as she insists it be called, according to her Audible Treats bio. Beaumont sits an hour and a half east of Houston.
Stereogum placed her in "the lineage of Texan rap shit-talkers," and Pitchfork once wrote that "Beaumont, Texas loudmouth Big Jade has the best music videos," as quoted by Audible Treats.
2. She built her buzz while doing hair. Between doing hair and raising a young daughter, Big Jade posted freestyles on social media, per Audible Treats. Her BeatKing-produced "RPM" video showed her chasing rap while working as a hairstylist.
"I got the attention of the right people by being genuinely myself," she said in a 2023 Audible Treats release.
BeatKing believed in her early
3. A mentor changed everything. Houston producer BeatKing found her online and offered her beats. "I felt like he really believed, so I believed," she said in her Audible Treats bio. He produced seven of the 10 songs on her 2021 album Pressure, Stereogum reported.
BeatKing, born Justin Riley, died on August 15, 2024, at 39, KPRC Click2Houston reported, after his manager confirmed the news on social media.
A deep catalog and a steady 2026
4. Her catalog runs deep. Pressure arrived in May 2021 on Alamo Records, with appearances from Erica Banks, OMB Bloodbath and Queendom Come. Her eight-track mixtape I Can't Help It followed in June 2023, also through Alamo, featuring Fredo Bang on "Soulmate" and Sada Baby on "What She Said."
Her Audible Treats bio also points to earlier collaborations, including "Lower" with DJ Chose and Uncork and "Eat" with Z-Ro.
5. She keeps the singles coming. Apple Music lists 2026 singles including "Who," "What's Your Name" featuring Quiet Money Dot (also with a radio edit), and "Wife Beater Freestyle," along with 2025's "Bold" and "Baller (Freestyle)." "Who You Feelin Like" sits at the top of the page as her latest release.
