Xaviersobased

Xaviersobased (born Xavier Lopez) is an influential American rapper and record producer from New York City, known as a key figure in the underground hip-hop scene and a pioneer of internet microgenres. His musical style is highly distinctive and eccentric, blending the introspective lyricism of cloud rap with the driving energy of trap, plugg, and a revival of the mid-2000s dance-rap genre known as jerk. A self-made artist who leads the underground collective 1c34, Xaviersobased’s production often features a unique sound palette with layered, sometimes pitch-shifted, and purposefully “off-key” vocals over glitchy, ambient, or video game-inspired beats, creating a sound that is both challenging and exhilaratingly fun. His discography, which includes mixtapes like Keep It Goin Xav (2024) and singles like the widely streamed “Patchmade” and the viral collaborative track “MANNEQUIN,” has established him as one of the most unpredictable and authentic voices in contemporary internet rap.
