Kansas grown emcee, XV<\/strong> has been on his grind for a while but his latest project Popular Culture<\/strong> is giving him more recognition than his last tapes, Thanks for the Donuts<\/strong> and Zero Heroes<\/strong> which were released in 2011. This Mixtape is a direct homage to popular culture suggested by the very fresh cover art and XV<\/strong> taking stabs at some of your favorites, with songs like \u201cAaahh! Real Monsters\u201d ft. Schoolboy Q & B.O.B.<\/strong>, \u201cBreaking Bad\u201d<\/em> ft. Raja<\/strong>, and \u201cAndy Warhol\u201d<\/em> ft. Slim The Mobster<\/strong> – by which are nothing like their famous titles that\u2019s for sure. XV has great story telling abilities and with production behind him from The Awesome Sound, Pop Culture <\/strong>most definitely deserves a listen. If you have been riding with XV<\/strong> from the beginning and have seen his SXSW performance you know this project is solid and will without a doubt keep your ears open for his first EP Awesome<\/strong> dropping June 26.
