Please introduce yourself real quick…
My name is X Beat from upstate New York, and around 4 years ago I had begun my journey in the music world. As of now my main focus is rapping, but before I had even begun that I produced beats and still do to this day. As for my style of rapping, I like to keep it positive as much as I can, although for some of my songs I like to address real world issues, and mental health to help out anyone in a time of need. In the end, I don't care how much money I earn or how much fame I will get. I just want to make a positive impact on the rap scene and let anyone who listens to my music enjoy it.
What do you do?
I rap, mix and master, and produce beats. People in the past that I have worked with are friends, other producers, and rappers.
What´s new right now?
As of now I have a couple of projects I am working on along with another single dropping within the next couple of weeks.

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?
Yes, actually I'd say I am a superfan of Joyner Lucas. I became a superfan of him after I had listened to his album "Along Came Joyner" and hearing his lyrical masterpieces as well as the story that goes throughout the whole album. The reason I'd say I am such a superfan of him is the fact he's kept it real throughout his whole career and is lyrical genius with his words.

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
The biggest mistake I had made when I started making music was trying to compare myself to huge rappers and trying to be like them. One tip I would give a newcomer musician would be just to be yourself and don't allow anyone let you lose motivation.
