XL — the early years

Before the world knew me as Donald XL Robertson, I was simply XL — producing raw, uncompromising records that defined an era. These tracks capture the foundation of my journey: the grit of New Orleans, the energy of hip-hop in its prime, and the hunger of an artist building his sound.  This section is a tribute to that grind, those collaborations, and the records that set the stage for everything that came after.

An anthem straight out of New Orleans, “Nolia Clap” became one of the most recognizable street records of its era. With its gritty bounce and undeniable energy, the track showcased XL’s signature production style and cemented his place in hip-hop history.
