The Likwit Crew veteran who brought raw West Coast hip-hop to a wider audience.
For a quick sense of his sound, try 'At The Speed Of Life' from his debut and 'U Know' from his later work. They frame that West Coast grit pretty well.
Xzibit's third album 'Restless' in 2000 brought him wider recognition, particularly through the single 'X'. His debut track 'At The Speed Of Life' from 1996 showed his raw approach to West Coast hip-hop, and he worked with Eminem and Nate Dogg on 'My Name' around that same period. Songs like 'U Know' and 'Multiply' represent his style during those years.
He started in the early 1990s as part of the Likwit Crew with King Tee and Tha Alkaholiks. After his debut solo album 'At the Speed of Life' in 1996, he released several more albums including 'Man vs. Machine' in 2002 and 'Weapon of Mass Destruction' in 2004.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
