With his out-of-this-world flow, it’s no wonder emcee XV, born Donavan Johnson, claims to be from the fictional planet of Squaria. On the heels of his Lil’ Wayne-assisted Booth feature, U Got It, is the new song, Everything is Cool. Found on A Square in the Circle, the latest volume of his Coolniverse mixtape series which dropped earlier this month, the rapper once again illustrates why he stands out in a crowd. Using a unique mixture of wit and charm, XV rides a ‘70s-influenced intergalactic beat from producer 7, which will truly appeal to “all the hipsters and gangsters.” Keep it locked to DJBooth for future updates on this up-and-coming sensation - or you could always visit him at his pad in Squaria.
XV is so damn different i love it. His style is very unique and that counts for a lot these days. Banger for having the balls to do somethin differnet.
I like this. XV is definatly gettin it in with this one. To be honest I disagree he fits right in these days. He's apart of the kanye, pharrell, lupe , cool kids, group of people. The Ustabebackpackers!!!
Hey, I definitely like this even more than his last track. This is dude is ill. He speaks the truth and he is refreshingly ill. 7's production is real tight. I would play this over and over again.
Ay he said somethin bout soulja boy: if soulja boy jump off a bridge then the fans would too.. What he means by that he means most ppl just go 4 anything & not lyrics... I like this.. But hes right! Yung rappers not gettin a chance & he just easin his way through.. This song is fresh
Beat is hot, flow is hot...every part of this track is is dope. Can't wait to hear more from this kid. Reminds me of lupe kinda. I give it a 4.5 (rounded up)
im glad he switched up hiz style...and iz it bad dat people like hip hop dance mucic like soulja boy...i dont c y people cant have fun wit it- w/o it b-n hated on...anyway DIS 4 me iz sum-thin i will neva list-n 2 again...but itz aight.
He sounds nice! Beat got me head bobbin' fo sho! Love it.. He reminds me of Lupe too, and that aint a bad thing by any means! But he got his own style, no doubt!
i like the jazz in the backround of the beat the track is hot an his flow is out of this world....im going to be lookin out for this kat he has a couple of tracks on the booth and they all have some pretty high ratings.....also i like how the beat switches up in the middle of the song...he kinda reminds me of one of my favorite artist LUPE FIASCO....this song is definitly on my new mixtape THIS AINT A GAME V.2
Not really feeling this song. It's not garbage but it's not a great song. Basically, you won't find me listening to it again but I can see what some people might like in it.
now that's what I'm talking bout...the elevation melody as far as the production is not only fresh, but for some reason has some old skool to it, he does remind me of Lupe, but he still manages to stand out, nice beat change also, didn't expect that
What's going on DJBooth!!! I appreciate EVERYONE'S comments and ratings on this song. I take alot of pride in this song because it is one of my favorites on the mixtape, "The Square In The Circle", so I like hearing what people hear in what I create. I figured the Lupe Fiasco comments would come, but in NO WAY, SHAPE or FORM am I purposely creating a style like his. As for comics...I am a comic book FANAAAAATICCCC!!!!!! I've never heard Lupe talk about comics before, but I have been collecting comics since I was 11 years old. That's just me, forreal. I just appreciate everyone taking the time out to check out AND comment this record. And if you want to hear more that I am about, download the entire mixtape at www.myspace.com/XtotheVizzy! Shouts to DJ Z and the DJBooth reps!!
beats diff and hot ...
hahaha he says keep givin them crack gonna make um lose their teeth thats cool wit me keep all these rappers from bitin me hahaha
hes got some tyte ass lyrics
This beat is crazy. XV goes hard as hell. He kills this beat. And the beat switch toward the end is tite to. One of the best songs I've heard in a while.
i didn't comment on this cause i didn't have a account but now i can and i think the song is FIRE...I LOVE THE PRODUCTION and i love when he said "hello creativity,goodbye money"
What a great song. XV is definetely one of those LupeKanyeCoolKidsKidzInTheHallPharrel type rappers and it's great. They defione what music should be about, and thats making sure your style is one like no other. The lyrics are cool, the beat is cool, and this nigga is cool. Everything is everything and everything is cool. I only know one way to rate this kind of greatness... CLASSIC!!
He kinda reminds me of a even cooler version of Lupe Fiasco (If you can get cooler than him) But anyway this is dope! and when he drops his album i will be there to buy it!
Shout out to 7!
Just downloaded the mixtape, man it's f'in addictive! New school Hip Hop mixed with the touch of retro beats. It took me back to ATLiens and Aquemini and thats a good thing.
DOWNLOAD THIS MIXTAPE!!!!! IT IS CRAAAAAZZZZYYYY.. Props to XV on the amazing creativity he displays. Lol I liked the mixtape so much im coming back to give him another 5*.
