Fresh off his Popular Culture mixtape, XV has dropped his new EP with Warner Bros., Awesome EP, and now he’s released the visuals for “Swervin’.” There’s absolutely no stopping the man with the green backpack. As we posted earlier, he’s been doing all kinds of things leading up to the EP.
Check out XV’s “Stone Cold” freestyle and his Popular Culture mixtape. Be sure to cop the Awesome EP on iTunes as well.

This is something new from Los and XV that sounds something out of XV’s The Complex Experiment. It’s got that raw, up-in-your-face flow then takes a step back before going at it again. Only reason I came to this was because of Vizzy, but Los is pretty dope, too.
Check it:
XV jumps on Erin Christine’s “Naked” for a remix that now features two up-and-coming artists: One a very talented and beautiful Erin Christine, and the other; XV, the backpack rapper. Check it out and download:

XXL‘s 2011 Fresman Class is out. Here’s the list: Lil B, Big K.R.I.T, CyHi Da Prynce, Diggy Simmons, Fred The Godson, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Twist, Mac Miller, Meek Mill, Yelawolf, and YG.
I’m pretty damn mad that XV has yet to make XXL’s top freshmen class. Any long-time XV fan knows XV’s beef with XXL, but, the more I think about it, it’s good for him. Listening to Vizzy’s lyrics, it’s clear he has taken the underdog-unappreciated role and created a mindset to just “make hits instead of lists.”
XXL didn’t expect XV to excel, so before

XV just dropped the visuals for FIFA (Feeling Internationally Famous Already) which is a teaser for the The Kid With The Green Backpack album that has taken longer to debut than Dr. Dre’s “Detox.”
“‘Pomona’ let us in,
Now they spotted a N***a like leopard prints”
Okay, Vizzy doesn’t really say “Pomona” but I thought he did, and I asked him, but he said “Club Owner.”
Damnit, I just wanted a shoutout to my city from XV. Ha
