DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: MustBeXavier - "ONLY UP"

In this new entry in our 'Diamonds In The Rough' category, we would like to introduce you to upcoming artist MustBeXavier and his brand new EP titled ONLY UP.



Texas' own MustBeXavier bursts onto the hip-hop scene with his debut EP ONLY UP, a concise yet potent introduction to his world, his grind, and his sound. The project, clocking in at just over 13 minutes, is proof that sometimes less is more. Across six tracks, MustBeXavier blends expressive lyricism with undeniable southern energy, giving listeners a glimpse into the mind of an artist on the rise.

From the opening track "FreeStyle", MustBeXavier wastes no time setting the tone: confident, raw, and fully in his element. He spits with purpose, establishing that his journey is just beginning and the only direction he's heading is up. The momentum carries into "No More Options," where hunger and resilience take center stage, painting the picture of an artist who's betting it all on himself.

Tracks like "Go Get It" and "Blessed" showcase his balance between ambition and gratitude, the former a rallying call for the hustlers, and the latter a moment of reflection on how far he's come. Then comes "Coffee Cake," a smooth yet sharp cut that reveals his versatility, lacing Texas flavor with effortless flow. Closing out with "My State," MustBeXavier pays homage to his roots, proudly representing Texas and the culture that shaped his sound.

The production throughout ONLY UP feels distinctly southern; bass-heavy, soulful, and full of personality, but it's MustBeXavier's expressive delivery that steals the show. He raps like he's got something to prove, yet carries himself like he already knows where he's headed.

In just six tracks, ONLY UP captures the hunger, honesty, and confidence of an artist defining his own lane. For MustBeXavier, this is just the beginning, and as the title suggests, there's only one way from here.

ONLY UP by MustBeXavier, available now on all streaming platforms.
