xaviersobased is the recording name of Xavier Lopez, a New York rapper working the seam where cloud rap runs into jerk. He started putting songs online in 2016 and has barely paused since, to the point that something near thirty releases now sit under the name. The run from the early "store" to later work like "who are you? #34ent" reads less like a curated discography than like a writer thinking out loud in public, tightening and loosening his songs as he goes. The genre tags that follow him around say most of it: cloud rap, jerk, east coast hip hop, New York rap.
He is an Upper West Side kid. Lopez was born in that part of Manhattan, and he came up through underground SoundCloud scenes rather than any studio pipeline, trading songs with collectives like 1c34 and the SoEvil Boyz while the audience assembled itself online.
Those affiliations are still the map of his career. He has released through 1-chance, Surf Gang and AMG, and kept ties to NOVAGANG and the Surf Gang circle rather than trading them for something more conventional. The live side has caught up with the internet side: stages including Metro Theatre, Northcote Theatre and The Princess Theatre, and a hometown Riverside Tour date in New York reported as a sold-out show near the end of 2025. That makes him a sensible booking for college programming, festival and club lineups, and private events looking for an act whose crowd already knows every word.
