XV Talks J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Common, Influences growing up

In part 2 of this interview with Nick Huff Barili, XV talks about collaborating with Kendrick Lamar not only on Textbook Stuff but also on tracks to be release in the future. XV agrees with Nick that J Cole’s productions skills are slept on and states that he has 4 tracks produced by J Cole, only two of which have been released. XV also says that he has a track for J Cole to rap on for XV’s debut album (Kid With the Green Backpack) but that it is produced by Just Blaze and he knows that J Cole want to rap on a track produced by himself so we will see what happens with that. Part 2 ends with XV recalling his musical influences growing up including Notorious Big, Outkast, Scarface, Common, and Crucial Conflict (we didn’t see that one coming). Oh yeah and he shares a story about the time his Mom found his Eminem album.
