Introducing XL The Truth: an independent rapper from Virginia whose lyrics and style bleed with authenticity.
The vision hasn’t always been crystal clear for XL, but luckily, this talented lyricist has found a way through his difficult narrative. With the ability to turn a troubled past into something positive, XL The Truth delivers just that, the truth.
Growing up in a poverty-stricken neighbourhood, XL was known for his ability to fight the good fight. Providing for his family by any means necessary, XL ended up behind bars. After serving time, he made his way to college where he found his way onto the NFL team however due to his past, complications arose and prevented him from pursuing his dreams of a life in sports. Back to the drawing board and now residing in his hometown of Virginia, XL struggled with depression, anxiety and PTSD but began to find strength in making music. Fast forward to now and this eclectic rapper has started a reintegration program for felons and is finally doing what he was meant to do.

His message is clear and ‘Cold World’ paints a gritty yet stunning picture of what he’s endured up until this point. Learn more about XL The Truth below.
