Xiuhtezcatl

About

Redefining what mainstream hip-hop can look and sound like, Xiuhtezcatl’s message and depth transcends his mere nineteen years on the planet, yet is still packed with all the hard-hitting grit that appeals today’s hip-hop fans. His rhyme scheme is raw and quick witted, influenced by a diverse range of artists like Anderson.Paak, Jaden and Earthgang. His thought provoking lyrics are anchored by the Indigenous roots of his father’s lineage and the social justice work of his mother.

X is breaking onto the scene, not only as a musician, but also as an activist, fashion model, philanthropist and cross-cultural icon. Being bilingual and a skilled code switcher, he incorporates Spanish and English interchangeably into his music, which has become the outlet for representing his cultural heritage. Xiuhtezcatl has performed and collaborated with artists such as Bassnectar, Willow Smith and Jaden. In 2019 he performed for 350,000 people at the Friday’s for Future Strike in New York City.

“Voice Runners”, Xiuhtezcatl’s new collaborative album with LA based artist Tru is a project which reflects his identity and struggles as a young Indigenous man growing up as a minority in mainstream America. X is committed to delivering music that has as much meaning as it has radio appeal.
