Download – “Finally Home”

Here’s a collaboration from two of the artists that people wanted to see on this year’s XXL Freshman class cover. Cover or not, 2011 will be a good year for XV and MGK.

Below, XV linked up with Court Dunn to spit his 16 Bars.

XV – “F.I.F.A.” (Video) x “Smallville”

Mike Boyd — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 20:42:13 +0000

XV linked up with Court Dunn for this impressive video to “F.I.F.A.” off of the Kansas emcee’s anticipated debut album, The Kid With The Green Backpack. Below is XV’s “Smallville” track produced by J.Cole.

Download – “Smallville”

“July baby but cooler than an October boy,
With more lines than a zebra wearing corduroys,
On my high horse, I should go to Troy,
Set the flight course, as my wings deploy,
Postcards and Polaroids,
But not enough time to buy a stamp and show my boys,
In Japan eatin fish, that’s Coy with little soy,
Then I’m off to London,
watchin this bridge that we built destroy.”

Interview: XV – (9/9/10) Speaks on Vizzy Zone

XV dropped his Vizzy Zone mixtape at 12AM today, immediately before the Midwest emcee took the stage as headliner of DatPiff’s NYC showcase. After the show, HipHopAtLunch.com spoke to XV about recording with K-Saalam and Beatnick for his upcoming album, how the Vizzy Zone mixtape artwork came about, getting a major record deal without having to leave Kansas, the reasons why “Familiar” is his favorite song off of Vizzy Zone, and the story behind his new track featuring both Mike Bigga and Mac Miller.

I wasn’t expecting to hear XV say that he replaced Scarface’s part on “May The Force Be With You” with a verse from Mac Miller, ha! I guess Mac’s Justin Bieber meets Jadakiss comment isn’t too far off after all.

Shout out to Mina Kwon for turning XV’s concept of the Vizzy Zone into the impressive final mixtape artwork! An eye-catching mixtape cover, like XV’s, seems to attract attention from both record labels and fans. The Kansas emcee no longer needs this extra label attention, however, now that the Wichita native has signed a deal with Warner Bros. As mentioned in the interview, XV being able to land a major record deal without moving away from his small city is a very rare and inspirational feat!

Below is the track that has now replaced “Fall Out The Sky” as XV’s favorite song in his catalog.

XV – “Familiar”
