#tbt – Tracks You May Have Missed – XV – Watch Me Go

Colin — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:35:41 +0000

For this week’s throwback we’re going to 2011 when XV decided to drop the J.Cole produced ‘Watch Me Go’. I must admit this is the first XV song I had ever heard and was instantly impressed. The production is upbeat and provides the perfect foundation for Vizzy to showcase his smooth flow, sense of humor and excellent wordplay. With bars like “Can we get higher, probably, it’s not a thing/ Nigga’s still talking ’bout Dollars, Obama just wanted change/ Decide if you want that fire that go straight to your vein/ Or do you want that Waka Flocka Flame?” and “(Watch Me Go) With the flow and it’s always getting better/ Call me Guinness book murderer, I’m killing every record/ Ya’ll got half-assed class, you just a semester/ Spend yo’ whole day chasing birds, call yo ass Sylvester” XV’s skills are hard to ignore.

This track combined with his stellar mixtape Zero Heroes had XV looking like one of the best up-and-comers in the game. Unfortunately due to delays on his debut album (still unreleased) and taking time off for personal reasons his buzz seemed to die down. Thankfully the emcee returned earlier this year with his March Madness Free Play Series and announced that the album is (still) coming. We look forward to future releases from Vizzy but for now we’ll just have to bump this.

XV continues his #MarchMadness series and drops Sweet Sixteens. This features 16 tracks which each include only 16 bars, coming to a total play time of under 20 minutes. Although the tracks are short they are definitely sweet. He jacks some dope beats and the verses are solid (Happy, Hovi Baby and The Way I Am). Check it out down below.

XV – #MarchMadness Free-Play Series – Madness Begins

FUXWITHIT — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 17:08:40 +0000

XV is celebrating March Madness by dropping a slew of new material. Last night he released Madness Begins which consists of 8 free tracks. Every track is solid but the early standout has to be ‘Everday Life’. It really showcase XV’s down to earth persona, lyrical ability and wordplay. “People thinking I’ve changed in ways I can’t explain, Outside of this Rocafella analysis in my brain, Cause I’m breaking up a Philly, smoking J’s with my dame, While I’m trying to rock the nation and take control of the game”. You can download Madness Begins over at squarians.net and be sure to stay tuned for even more new music as March Madness continues. The stream and schedule for releases is posted below.

If this is your first time hearing XV sure to check out ‘Watch Me Go’ (Produced by J. Cole) and his mixtape Zero Heroes, which was easily one of the best tapes of 2011.
