Turn Off the Lights, XV is “Gettin’ Bizzy” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/14/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, XV

So far the labels have yet to jump on the Vizzy bandwagon - frankly because they don't know how to market him. Hoping to show his more mainstream appeal XV has dropped off the club-ish-esque "Gettin' Bizzy", a sparsely produced cut that, thankfully, XV doesn't switch up his flow for. Don't worry, there's no swag to be found here. Listen and download...

XV Shuts Up All the “T.A.L.K.” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 06/15/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, XV

How exactly did I miss a chance at banging some new XV? I won't lie, I'm a little ashamed, but just in case there are others out there who had Vizzy's latest leak slide under their respective radar, I thought I'd make a amends with a better late than never post of "T.A.L.K.".

XV Makes the Track Cry on “Remember the Rain” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/03/10 | Filed under Downloads, XV

Originally intended for Tecknowledgy's "Welcome to Crime City" but dropped for as-yet unknown reasons, "Remember the Rain" is definitely not what we're used to from XV as the usually (relatively) peaceful rapper decided to bust our his storytelling skills and launch into a Carmelo-ish soliloquy about the dangers of snitching and the often tragic consequences of the drug game.

XV Stops by for a “30 Minute Layover” (Mixtape Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/27/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, XV

When I dropped XV's latest cut "Warmup" earlier this morning I promised I'd have his "30 Minute Layover" mixtape up later today, and sure enough, I kept my promise (RefinedHype is for the babies!). Consisting entirely of freestyles over industry beats, "30 Minute Layover" is designed to keep eager fans from hyperventilating before his upcoming "Vizzy Zone" project drops in the next couple months. Ok, breathe deep people, and enjoy some new XV. TXVIF. Listen and download...

This? Oh, This is Just XV’s “Warmup” (Freestyle Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/26/10 | Filed under Downloads, XV, Freestyles

I know, I know. It's Friday, and if counting the minutes until you get to leave work wasn't bad enough, now you have to count the minutes until XV's new freestyle mixtape "30 Minute Layover" drops. Well I'm here to help you on both fronts. As opposed to his last leak "Lift the Game", where XV was not in a good mood, on "Warmup" he's back to his usual punchline heavy flow, dropping lines like "I can go every quarter, I don't promise, I swear it / while all you need subs like Jared." Yeah, it's like that. Listen and download...

XV is Going to “Lift the Game” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/24/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, XV, Freestyle

Ok, I'm going to say this slowly, and I want you to control yourself. The net's favorite unsigned hype XV is coming out with a new mixtape, "30 Minute Layover" this Friday, and today we got broken off with the first leak "Lift the Game", a cut featuring Vizzy going in hard over the beat from Lil Wayne's "Drop the World". To summarize, XV is basically pissed off that he's being overlooked by the majors just because he's from Kansas, and he's decided to take out his frustrations on the mix. Listen and download...

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/07/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, XV, Freddie Gibbs, Shawn Chrystopher

And the XV hits just don't stop. Months after his acclaimed "Everyboyd's Nobody" mixtape ended up on everyone's Best of the Year lists (everyone I respect anyway), we're treated to a remix of Vizzy's "Me, You", this time around with two of the west coast's dopest new emcees, Freddie Gibbs (who kind of sounds like Bun B here) and Shawn Chrystopher.

From Drake to XV, 5 Rappers That Will Change the Game in 2010

Posted by Richard on 12/22/09 | Filed under Features, Drake, J. Cole, XV, Kid Cudi, Wale

We don’t like to brag, but if Vegas took odds on which rappers are set to make it big, we’d be swimming in gold like Scrooge McDuck. With that in mind, we wanted to pause for a moment to reflect on the year that was, and look forward to the year that will be. After polling each of our staff members individually and tabulating the results, we've come up with a quick breakdown of the three artists that broke through the biggest in 2009, and two more that are set to blow up bigger than Oprah’s bank account in 2010.

XV Wants Everyone to “Jump Now” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/03/09 | Filed under Downloads, XV

Considering the enormous quantity of dope music XV's been putting out lately we can only assume that the major labels are either asleep or completely comprised of idiots (actually it's a little bit of both), but their loss is our gain as XV continues his onslaught of new music. This time around we're being treated to "Now Jump", a slow paced track of his upcoming "Look What I Can Do" with a quasi-80s rock vibe, enhanced by some serious rhymes by Vizzy complete with Jimmy Superfly Snooker references. XV says "Now Jump" is indicative of his current mindset, and if that's true than he's not a angry rapper determined to show the world what he can do. See more to listen and download...
