's musical legacy? That's exactly the responsibility X's manager Solomon Sobande and producer John Cunningham took on/alongside Jahseh Onfroy's mother Cleo Bernard when rising to the occasion to piece together the late artist's last brainchild,sessions for sophomore album, when X would consciously put certain records to the side while recording on house arrest in early 2018.
XXXTENTACION was fatally shot outside a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach, Fla. back in June of 2018, at age 20. The controversial rapper, who faced a during his life -- ranging from witness tampering to aggravated battery of a pregnant woman -- was not only on a journey towards improving himself, personally, but was just scratching the surface of his musical ability.
With an obsessive, cult-like fanbase, X's faithful have done their part in making sure his musical heartbeat is preserved, partly through continuing to stream his music, as X accumulated nearly four billion streams on Spotify in 2019 alone. "There were a lot of people that felt misunderstood, and that's who he really appealed to," Sobande explains of X's connection to his fans. "He wanted to be their protector. That's why his music is so consumed, and his legacy is so strong. It's because of what he embodied to those kids. He was a hero to the kids that didn't have a hero."
Sobande and the rest of X's estate aren't closing the door completely on releasing more music at some point, either, even thoughis being billed as his final body of work. Below, you'll find Sobande and Cunningham collectively breaking down 10 tracks fromThe introduction to the album was an instrumental I played, and he loved it and wanted it to be on the album. I know he had written a song to it, but we never recorded those vocals.
