XV - Everybody's Nobody
Artist: XV
Producer: Seven
Album: Everybody's Nobody Mixtape
Label: Square Bound Music/Warner Bros.
The title of XV‘s forthcoming mixtape is rife with ambiguity – fortunately, the emcee has provided an explanation in the form of the project’s title track; giving his take on the pursuit of fame and the consequences of earning it, XV paints a picture of an industry where Everybody’s Nobody (but anyone could be somebody – maybe). Notably, the Wichita-bred emcee drops a reference to our 2008 Best of the Booth Awards, spitting, “DJBooth nominated, that’s a great look/ Lost to a song with Lil Wayne that ain’t have a hook.” Though XV’s clearly well-acquainted with the identity crises that artists must face down on the road to success, he doesn’t let it faze him; where other rappers would be bitter, he sounds mostly amused, and his conversational delivery over Seven‘s stop-start organ accompaniment results in a very catchy cut. The Everybody’s Nobody mixtape is due out soon, and fans can look forward to XV’s contribution to our exclusive freestyle series, premiering next month.

Haaa that DJBooth reference was sick!! Matter of fact, the whole track was sick. XV hasn't been around in a minute, so it's good to hear some new material.
Fresh, creative, original, innovative....Choose your adjective, XV is the truth! |

I love that he mentioned DJBooth! That's sick. This song does have a hook, though it's not the best, but this song is solid. Very well said by XV

Very different then what I expected. Unique flow that is perfect for the song. Not a ton of replay value but a talented artist for sure, looking forward to hearing these amazing freestyles from all these artists Z keeps hinting at.

This is tight, but the beeping noise on the beat gave it a -1... I didn't feel it, maybe because it makes the same noise as my alarm clock.

This is hot right here! The beat is a little wierd, but I kinda like it and it works wit his delivery. The hook actually sounded pretty cool to me. I love the message, and XV always keeps me interested when I listen to his lyrics... Dope!

Wouldve gotten a 5 if the beat was a little better. I like how it breaks down at the end and wish they had switched it up like that during the track.
XV came correct though.

you gotta give XV a 5. Smooth delivery, meaningful bars, a clear message, and a tight beat. I got big hopes for dude, hope he blows up to where he wants to. This is hip hop.
