Sean Marrett (born November 15, 1978), better known by his stage name Big Kuntry King is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia, currently signed to Grand Hustle and Atlantic Records and also the founder of his own record label Bread Box Muzic. He is also a member of P$C. His debut album My Turn to Eat was released September 30, 2008.

Born in Charleston, South Carolina, Big Kuntry King was raised in a house that held his mother, sister, and close to ten members of his extended family. When he reached the fifth grade, Kuntry moved to Atlanta with his mother, who sought a better life for her kids. While his mom worked two jobs and pursued a college degree, Kuntry gravitated to street life, where his family had a notorious history. “I was born in the game,” says Kuntry. “My Grand Momma was in it before she died. My Auntie was in it; everybody was in it.”

A couple of years after his father was released from a seven-year stint in federal prison, Kuntry started rapping as a way to earn extra money. In 1996, Kuntry befriended local up-and-coming rapper T.I., who was already known around Atlanta as a skilled lyricist, and together they sold mixtapes out the trunk of their car. “The raps, that was our dope,” Kuntry says. “We was rapping because we knew we could make us enough money to buy something and get out. And it made us look good in our neighborhood and every other neighborhood in the A.”
