Big Pokey Biography
When you think of legendary freestylers in Houston, it is without a doubt that one will name Big Pokey in their top 10. Milton Powell, better known by his stage name Big Pokey is a native of Houston, Texas. The original Screwed Up Click member was born and raised in the Yellowstone area of Houston.
In the early 90’s Big Pokey began releasing freestyles on many of Dj Screw’s mixtapes. He is most known for his appearance on June 27th Freestyle which is one of the most known screw tapes worldwide.
In the late 90’s, Big Pokey released his first full-length album entitled “Hardest Pit in the Litter”. This proclaimed “classic” was released by Universal Records. Early 2000’s, Big Pokey released D-Game 2000, which was well-received by fans from all over the world. As his career progressed, he collaborated with Wreckshop Records and released a collaborated album followed by the solo album titled “Da Sky’s Da Limit” in 2002. In 2008, Pokey dropped “Evacuation Notice” which was released by Koch Records.
After a 10 year hiatus from releasing new music, Pokey is releasing his new project #Sensei on May 28, 2021, on Win or Regret/ Mob Style Music Group. This long-awaited and highly anticipated project will consist of features from DJ XO, Devin The Dude, Chucky Trill, Lil KeKe, Lil O & more. Fans and supporters will also be able to get an exclusive 4-week documentary of behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive interviews, etc. which will debut on May 9th via YouTube.
Although music is his passion, he is a family man that enjoys spending time with his wife of 8 years and their 5 children. His funny personality always finds a way to make others laugh rather it’s on social media, or in person. When not making music, Pokey typically enjoys grilling, trying new cuisines, and traveling.
