Career Highlights

Xzibit began rapping in the Los Angeles hip-hop underground. In the 1990s he made guest appearances on albums for fellow rappers King Tee and Tha Alkaholics.

Since the release of his first solo album in 1996, Xzibit has been a leading force in keeping the hip-hop genre vibrant. The surly-tongued rapper became a hot commodity in 2004 after he began hosting an offbeat reality makeover show for MTV called ‘Pimp My Ride’.

During the program, mechanics do more than simply makeover the rusted-out cars of deserving guests—the cars end up with eye-popping paint jobs, flashy chrome rims, and car vibrating sound systems. 

Restless debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200, and was later certified platinum in the United States. The album also contained the singles “Front 2 Back”, “X”, and “Get Your Walk On”.

His follow-up album Man vs. Machine (2002) also enjoyed similar commercial success; it debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold, while Weapons of Mass Destruction (2004) also became certified gold.

After the release of Full Circle in 2006, Xzibit underwent a musical hiatus, not releasing any music until the release of his seventh studio album Napalm on October 9, 2012. Since 2013, he is part of the hip-hop supergroup Serial Killers.

He has also starred in the films Gridiron Gang (2006), The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008), Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) and Sun Dogs (2017).

Biography

Xzibit was born on September 18, 1974 in Detroit and was raised by his mother. Xzibit’s father left the family early, leaving his mother to care for the family which included four siblings (an older sister and brother, as well as a younger brother and sister).

After her death in 1984 Xzibit moved in with his father who had remarried and relocated to Albuquerque.

Xzibit lived in Albuquerque until age 17 and began writing lyrics as a form of entertainment after suffering numerous bouts of minor incarceration.

Ultimately a falling out with his father forced Xzibit to relocate to Los Angeles, where he lived with his sister. Due to the city’s strong presence within hip-hop, Xzibit decided to pursue a music career. He would also reconcile with his father in 1998.
