Big Rome Reflects on Identity and Growth in “Who I Am”

There’s a certain calm confidence in “Who I Am” that makes it stand out immediately. Instead of posturing or chasing impact, Big Rome approaches the record like a conversation, laying out his story with clarity and intention. As the opening track on his latest EP Mentally Disturbed / Scarred 4 Life, the song feels less like a single and more like a personal statement about where he has been and how he sees himself now.

Built on a steady, mid tempo instrumental, the production leaves enough space for the lyrics to breathe. There is no rush to overwhelm the listener with hooks or dramatic shifts. Instead, the track moves with quiet control, allowing Rome’s delivery to feel grounded and natural. His background as a poet shows in the structure of his verses, which feel reflective and focused on meaning rather than spectacle.

What stands out most is the tone of the record. “Who I Am” does not rely on aggression or exaggerated bravado. The energy is thoughtful and composed as Rome touches on identity, growth, and resilience with a sense of acceptance rather than defensiveness. It feels like the kind of record an artist makes when they are no longer trying to prove themselves, only explain themselves.

The accompanying video reinforces that feeling, adding visual context without distracting from the message. Together, the song and visuals frame Big Rome as an artist still evolving, but fully aware of his purpose. “Who I Am” works because it is honest, intentional, and rooted in real experience, showing that some of the strongest hip hop moments come from self awareness rather than excess.
