Troubled Beginnings
X did not have an easy childhood. He was constantly moving in and out of his home, developed a fighting habit in school & dropped out by the tenth grade. Through all this adversity, he found a passion for music. Shortly after, he released his first ever song.

Soundcloud Era
X’s cult following began when he joined the collective Members Only. This pushed his solo work and made him gain popularity. His sound stood out. Meeting Ski in jail was really important for the early stages of his career as they would go on to frequently collab.

Look At Me!
After releasing the track in 2015, it took some time for it to build some steam, but X was on the ride that would change his life forever. This song took the world by storm as it was the first ‘scream’ rap song to gain such massive popularity. This was a huge moment.

Beautiful 17
The 22 minute concept album was an entry into XXX’s mind, but also a relatable piece of art that speaks to people dealing with mental health struggles. While much of the subject matter is hard to deal with, X offers the listener serenity. Even Kendrick loved '17'.

Versatility on ‘?’
X showed his versatility with heartbreak songs like ‘SAD!’, rock songs like 'NUMB' & rapping cuts like ‘Infinity (888)’ with Joey Bada$$. This album proved that his music cannot be boxed into one genre. He was evolving while still advocating for mental health.
