Survivor’s Voice: Bigg Veza Reflects on 9/11 and Reclaims His Story in ‘Love Letters’

9/11 is a historical day in American history, but for some, the impact runs far deeper than headlines and memorials. For Bigg Veza, it marks the last train ride he ever shared with his father — the morning his pops went to work at the World Trade Center and never returned. That memory is seared into Veza’s soul: the ride, the goodbye, and the devastating silence that followed.

The tragedy remains a wound for countless families who sent loved ones off to school or work that morning, unaware that New York would suffer one of the most catastrophic attacks in modern history. To honor his father and the many others lost that day, Bigg Veza recently retraced his father’s steps — taking the same train that carried him to the towers, reflecting on the moment the country mourned with New York and the way it forever reshaped his life.

Every now and then, an artist comes along whose story hits just as hard as their music. Enter Bigg Veza — Brooklyn-born, battle-tested, and spiritually unshaken — whose latest release, “Love Letters,” is turning heads and sparking comparisons to rap heavyweights like Yung Thug, Mystikal, and even early Ja Rule.

But don’t get it twisted — Bigg Veza isn’t riding coattails. He’s dragging his pain to the mic and spitting fire from the heart.

Raised in NYC and reshaped by the South, Veza’s life took another devastating turn when he faced a wrongful conviction and a grueling 17-year prison sentence — one that nearly claimed his life when he was viciously attacked by correctional officers. The incident left him with permanent heart damage. But what it didn’t take? His voice, his soul, and his fire.

“‘Love Letters’ is what it sounds like when pain, betrayal, and rebirth crash into melody,” says Veza. “This ain’t a gimmick. This is my truth.”

The track blends rage rap with melodic tones, layered with a rawness that screams survival. Whether it’s the gritty storytelling, aggressive cadence, or that unmistakable pain in his delivery, Bigg Veza proves he’s not here to fit in — he’s here to take over.

Adding a melodic balance, rising artist Sally Sosa joins Veza on “Love Letters,” giving a glimpse of the range his upcoming EP, Caveman vs. Snakes, will showcase. The project dives into the inner war between instinct and deception, between the savage and the slick — a battle only someone who’s lived both sides can truly put into words.

🎧 “Love Letters” is now live on YouTube and streaming on all platforms.
