xaviersobased is still making hip-hop fans' heads spin with his brazen flows, ethereal production choices, and intoxicating delivery.

xaviersobased may be a polarizing rapper these days, but you can't say it's for anything other than the engaging, ethereal, and jagged quality of his music. His new single "iPhone 16" proves this outright, crafting a jerk-adjacent track that's equal parts mystical as it is muddy. xavier's drawl floats over minimal percussion, gorgeous synth pads, and stretches out into higher-pitch croons when he leaves his malleable flow behind. Sure, it won't convince any naysayers. But each new song makes more and more people understand the appeal behind his artistry. xaviersobased is one of the most exciting rappers today, and he proves you don't need to skip out on charismatic lyricism to achieve that these days.

Quotable Lyrics from iPhone 16

In the club, my brothers right beside me,
G23 if a n***a try me, uh,
N***as get hit,
Yeah, I'm with my n***a Zuro, bend a n***a, RIP,
Yeah, if he send a diss, then I might send a blitz
Yeah, being smart is hard, ignorance is bliss

About The Author
Gabriel Bras Nevares is a staff writer for HotNewHipHop. He joined HNHH while completing his B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication at The George Washington University in the summer of 2022. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
