BigMosh

The Rattlesnake Trapper

The white boy rapper with a rattlesnake-skin band on his top hat and the snake's head riding front and center. Country grit, West Coast schooling, and a story nobody else alive can tell. This is the home of the music — and the door is open for labels, features, and bookings.

Death looked him up. He wasn't home.

That's not a lyric — that's the medical report, more or less. Everything on this page happened to one man from Funkytown, Ft. Worth TX, and he's still standing in the middle of it, making records.

Why the music hits different

The Story

Illustration of a West Texas desert graveyard at dusk with a rattlesnake coiled in the dust
Death looked him up. He wasn't home.

BigMosh didn't inherit a spotlight — he built one. Out of Funkytown, Ft. Worth TX, he put on the black top hat, wrapped it in rattlesnake skin, and stepped out as the Rattlesnake Trapper: a white boy rapper with country grit, West Coast schooling, and bars that come from real life, not a script.

Then life came at him in waves. He climbed to 786 pounds — and fought his way down to 246, a 540-pound loss through gastric bypass and sheer refusal to quit. Most men would have stopped there. He was just getting started.

In 2026 he's fighting Stage 3 colon cancer head-on — chemo, neuropathy, all of it — and the tumor has already shrunk 82%. He records through it. He writes through it. A Cherokee warrior doesn't lay down because the fight got hard; the fight is where the songs come from.

That's the voice on these tracks: a Texas outlaw raised on Too $hort, wearing a top hat with a rattlesnake's head on the band, rapping like a man who has looked at the graveyard and decided to schedule that visit for much later.

No shortcuts

The Road So Far

Most artists invent a backstory. His just happened to him, in order.

  1. The climb

    786 Pounds

    The weight crept up until it was its own kind of fight — 786 pounds at the peak, with everything that does to a man's body and his days.

  2. The comeback

    Down to 246

    Gastric bypass and a refusal to quit: 540 pounds gone. A total rebuild of the man, one hard day stacked on another.

  3. The reinvention

    BigMosh Is Born

    He picks up the mic and steps out under his own name. Raised on Too $hort, rooted in Texas, he builds the Rattlesnake Trapper from scratch — top hat, snake band, and a catalog that starts with Jugular.

  4. 2026

    The Fight

    Stage 3 colon cancer. Chemo, neuropathy, a port infection and sepsis that nearly took him out — three weeks in the hospital — and he came back to the mic anyway.

  5. Right now

    82% Gone — And Recording

    The tumor has shrunk 82%. The last treatments may not even be needed. Nine tracks deep, hunting a record deal and a real studio — the next chapter gets written loud.

The stage is set

All that's missing is the man in the hat.
