Slide Down By Lil Xelly Music Video

Lil Xelly has teamed up with one of his most loyal and iconic collaborators MOSHPIT, for his “Slide Down” music video. The Maryland rapper has his usual outgoing and careless demeanor as he pilots a Mercedes from outside the driver’s window. MOSHPIT disclaims that the entire video was created with just one scene worth of raw footage. This doesn’t hurt his creativity. He may work the best with the most simple of conditions. He depicts winding roads on top of mountains, fighter jets and Lil Xelly in the eye of the storm. Thanks to Xelly and producer ChinaTown, “Slide Down” has that essential upbeat energy to get you through your day, even if it isn’t going the best.

#On My Way! By Lil Xelly

Lil Xelly seems to never take a break, or even sleep. While some artists take breaks between projects or like to create months' worth of suspense, Lil Xelly keeps his fans constantly entertained with new music. #On My Way! or #OMW! is one of his most cleanly engineered projects to date, the artist is always looking for ways to improve his craft. Lil Xelly collaborates with several producers for the six-track EP, including LordFubu, DPBEATZ, and Visual9, to simply name a few. Each song is exciting and perfect for your ”hyped” playlist. ”. ”Calabasas”, produced by Jolow is a bouncy, guitar and bass driven track, and a new classic Pop song for Lil Xelly.

His sound has become more adventurous over the years, partly due to his love for networking and always generating new music. This project is the best example of his growth as an artist.

Meet Lil Xelly

Lil Xelly has been taking the rap game by storm these last few months. With his constantly increasing discography, his boost in popularity goes without saying. His work ethic is seemingly unrivaled at the moment and it's only a matter of time before he seals his first record deal. Lil Xelly's schedule is packed with studio sessions and performances across the east coast, and we were able to ask him a few rapid-fire questions to get to know him a little better.

Lil Xelly is from Rockville, Maryland, despite this, his music has reached areas such as Chicago, Houston and even as far west as Los Angeles. He has been rapping for eight years now, but his music on soundcloud only dates back over a year. His development can be heard from his first track on the site, Xool. Xelly pushes out projects like no other. He has released over twenty projects and garnished a fanbase that appreciates his grind. It's not hard to find at least a single song of his that one may like.

He has an appreciation for artists from the DMV area, specifically: Wifigawd, The Khan and Q Da Fool. He's managed to balance his inspirations with developing his own sound and space in the music world. When asked about the comments about him rapping "off beat", he had this to say.

I don't care about that off beat sh*t. I do me.

Lil Xelly is definitely ready for the rumors and harsh comments that come with being a celebrity. He keeps his focus on himself and finds the motivation to do better and continue the momentum he's started. We wanted to know what exactly that motivation came from. He told us he simply likes music more than others. He's willing to put in the time and effort to keep the attention of fans that we think will soon catch the eyes of major music labels.

Lil Xelly grew up with hip hop surrounding him and the experiences of his brothers rapping encouraged him to do it too. After six years of rapping, his work developed an audience. Ever since then, he has been working non stop and has taken consistency to a completely new level.

He's teamed up with a number of artists in the last few months. One of his most frequent collaborations are with Noir Brent from Chicago. The two of them have already finished and released five tapes, Lucky Charms vols 1-5, and his collaborations don't stop there. Lil Xelly has featured on songs and mixtapes with different artists and producers across the country. His allure doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

Lil Xelly is adding a new sort of pressure to the rap game whether he's trying to or not. His lack of long breaks between project releases keeps his audience entertained and infused in his music. It's always interesting to see what he'll make next and staying current with his mixtape drops is a task his fans are willing to handle. Finally, we asked him if he had any advice for artists in a position similar to his own. His response,

 

Don't let them ignore you.
