Lil Xan In Concert

It's never easy to judge a book by its cover, especially in the case of SoundCloud rapper phenom Lil Xan. The 22-year-old musician boasts striking face tattoos, but says his parents approve of the body art. Drake, Playboi Carti, and the late Mac Miller are avowed influences on his laissez-faire trap beats and delivery—which is full of chirps, trills, and sleepy-eyed vocalizing—although his inspirations vary wildly. He grew up digging alternative rock and had his mind blown upon hearing A$AP Rocky and the Pharrell Williams project N.E.R.D. And although Lil Xan's name might reference an anti-anxiety medication, he's not glorifying using the drug—and says so explicitly on the platinum-certified breakthrough viral hit "Betrayed," whose chorus asserts an extremely anti-Xanax stance. 

Such brutal honesty is a Lil Xan hallmark. He's known as a heart-on-sleeve lyricist—his debut 2016 EP, ‘CITGO,' was a moving collection written about a dearly departed friend—and as a performer, he connects with fans by making himself completely emotionally vulnerable. When combined with undeniable onstage charisma, it's easy to see why the Southern California-raised rapper was one of 2018's breakout stars.

Born Diego Leanos, Lil Xan was originally trying to break into music as a photographer, but he switched course after his camera was stolen at a concert, which made him realize that recording music was a much cheaper pursuit. Still, he didn't end up completely abandoning his flair for the visual, which was a smart move: As it turns out, the psychedelic video for "Betrayed" went viral and ended up landing him a major-label record deal.

Lil Xan's resulting debut full-length album, 2018's sonic melting pot ‘Total Xanarchy,' peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Top 200 and boasted guest turns from a bevy of A-list hip-hop stars. The accompanying Total Xanarchy tour unsurprisingly sold out immediately, which portends great things to come for the future.

    BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!!

    by lilxannytheman on 10/27/18Buckhead Theatre - Atlanta

    I had SO much fun that i’m driving 10 hours on my bday to do it ALL over AGAIN! Everything was on time, he has an AMAZING stage presence, we were entertained the entire way through. Also, I got the Total Xanarchy M&G package- WORTH IT! He participated, he made EVERYONE feel included. He really does care for his fans and he shows it by doing an outstanding job. 10/10 literally recommended to friends.

    by NotARegularMom on 10/15/18Bogart's presented by Cricket Wireless - Cincinnati

    I was not disappointed. I even got to hang out with some of the people who opened for Lil Xan during his part of the show. They all showed nothing but love and acceptance for everyone. I will buy tickets again if they come to Cincinnati!
