Open Space: Xavier Wulf | Mass Appeal

- Xavier Wulf was ahead of his time. As a former member of Raider Klan squad, him and his people laid the groundwork for a lot of artists. "Any new artist that came out since 2013, they followed our blueprint," Wulf says. "That's if they stayed independent."
And being independent is key. The Memphis rapper had people checking for him before anyone knew what was going on. Soundcloud even called him to try and figure out how he grew such a large fan base. But it paid off, literally: They started giving him money. "I was the first nigga getting Soundcloud checks," he says.
Now every kid is using Soundcloud. He's not even mad at the term Soundcloud rapper. How could he be? "I'm an OG in the shit," is how he sees it. If he was just entering the scene, then it might be a different story, though. He's not sure how he'd feel about the underground from that perspective. But it's progressing, and he says labels are starting to catch onto the whole wave.
While he's still fam with the Klan, he's moved on and started his own team, the HollowSquad. He also left behind the alias Ethelwulf, which he saw as a different character, a more wild one. "Xavier is more grown," he explains. "Still crazy, but more collected crazy."
The Xavier sound is punk rap, or heavy metal rap; full of references to anime and cars. He even created a mixtape, Project X, around a car he built for drifting. But mainly it's about the energy. It's high energy, head banging, crowd surfing music. "It's what any kids going through anything need to hear in order to help them out of that." And he says fans thank him for helping them through difficult periods frequently: "That makes me feel good."

iRoNLuNGKReW they where all with SPG when he started underground music
"you dont go into the underground without knowing wulf" best and truest shit ive heard
Absolutely facts my guy
Project X was so so good. I've listened to it over 50 times easily
wilson0213 I love it so much. I PULL UP WITH NO HOOD ATTACHED AND A BACKWOOD LIT!
Pistons pushing heavy underneath the full moon, drippin paint off of a spoon, into the crack and grooves inside her mind then I'm off!
wilson0213 That song is nothing but the truth. Date Night is amazing as well.
SHE SENT THE TEXT TO MEEEEEEEEEEE
The entire tape is just perfect. I feel like Akina Speed Star is quite underrated tbh
listening to project x after finishing all of Initial D got me emotional
This man is the main reason this current underground shit exists. And nobody does it better than him.
Hi Stfu and pay your fuckin respects kid obviously they helped but stop bashing zay, dude dropped a comment saying a bunch of artists helped the underground scene. Stop hating to get clout we can meet up and you can run my fade
"Im the anime character and the beat is the episode"
Xavier Wulf
Genius
I like the stage name, I like the style, and I like that he is different; not cookie cutter. May he have a long and prosperous career in music.
God bless you Trevor Doge
I remember how grimy wulf used to look, he looks like a totally different person these days
yea he less dusty now
red rum he fixed his chipped tooth
red rum you know what sweater that is?
Wulf all iced out now too. yall seen it? salute
dat growth
This guy looks like EthelWuf lowkey
you might be onto something.....
D X sounds like him too. wierd.. they might be brothers...
D X i heard they were twins
Rico Shiki nah they're just really good buddies
Hopefully they make some music together
hell yea seshollowaterboyz was definately the first soundcloud rappers
soundcloud is ol af shut up
Byrd Main
That's his point you dumbass.
my god niggas like you are so annoying i swear
We're all fans of wulf. Chill out and get those sticks out ur asses ffs.
love this guy. these X interviews are rarer than a shiny charizard though.
nigga I done had 6 shiny charizards at once pretty sure there ain't 6 Xavier interviews
manlikechris thats why he said "rarer" bro
lol, thats the kinda luck i need. In the uk they don't come that often. i remember one time i was willing to trade my soul for a shiny charizard and even satan said "no".
hahahahaha fr bro
you just gotta finesse the niggas trading online I ain't catch one single shiny charizard but I still had six of them bitches
ive fucked with this dude on such another level for the longest time, when i met him my respect went up thousands. Now this interview is great and i just cant stop supporting this guy, bought so much merchandise and got his sticker on my car.

Most slept on rapper in history...

WULF been influential in the underground for a minute. All these new Florida rappers and hype dudes can be traced back to dudes like Xavier. Mad respect.
*PURRP
Crypt Dweller never heard of that nigga till last month
Dice Brazy he's talking about spaceghostpurpp not smokepurpp lmao
Xavier should make his own manga
Wavey Jv YESSS
A lot of stress and work
Xavier Wulf the hardest nigga in rap.
I got pulled over for doing donuts in my s14 listening to "Bladez". Wulf, thank you and god bless.
Everything about Xavier Wulf music and overall vibe is fire, he just needed one thing to really finish his whole aesthetic and sky rocket his career. He never had the right music videos to match the beats (world) and lyrics (character). Wulf music creates crazy images in our head but I never seen them into fruition. There are plenty of his songs that could make amazing music videos, never seen before showing off his Wulf anime like character. That is the last thing he needs to do but other than that he is 100% straight in everything else.
Drifting Away black smoke video would be trippu
Drifting Away fuck no his videos are lit bitch
That’s why people do AVI. He’s heavily into anime like Denzel Curry and everyone uses his music for dope ass fight scenes. It’s already a tool in itself. His music expands and even the anime’s used get hype
Yeah agreed honestly, i think the kurokumo music video is pretty amazing though
if the underground was a ship wulf would be the captain
Captain wulf on the deck, lord of the sea shit ;")
duck suck rumor has it he's the only damn captain on this boat
duck suck SGP?
duck suck That's true, he is Captian Hitsugaya.
He even has an anchor tattoo
WHO WHO WHO WHO

When wulf merges anime with rap is the best
I love Wulf, man, what a great artist. Always keeps it real and truly did pave a way for lots of artists. I dont feel that artists necessarily owe anything, except paying homage/respect really but yeah. also thought it was dope when he was talking about Anime and rap, and how he said the beat is like the world, and his lyrics are the story of his character that day, whatever is going on that day. Dope thought
5:00 Them hand gestures had me dead asf🤣!
Jeffrey Mbelu gg The hands lol
Xavier Wulf the hardest
thank you captain
I love how he explained how he merged rap and anime. Perfect
NEVER CLICKED SO FAST INB4 80-100 #HOLLOWSQUAD

Crazy how Wulf put the anime and car influence into his projects and now that shit is like a standard 😂 he really changed shit for the better
mass appeal I love yall for this
"I feel like i'm an og in this shit". *insert backpacker comment here* Shout out Xavier Wulf. He probably is the king of the underground.
so cool to finally see him do an interview
You can't not love him every comment is straight love for this guy. he is literally the reason underground rappers label them as underground.
One of the best underground rappers still to this day.

X has always been a huge inspiration. Nothing but love for this man.

HOLLOWSQUAD

In a way I don't think even Xavier has any idea on the huge fucking broad spectrum of his influence and how many people he has helped. Every mixtape helped me through allot, good and bad memories, thank you captain.
Protect this man at all costs.
So humble,Captain cold froze♾

Ayy Gang Gang!
Legendary, down-to-earth human being. Really is a true pioneer of the underground rap scene today. Haha, 1st SoundCloud rapper to make it too. He still doing him, no matter what. Always had the most intense shows in town. I remember I found his USB drive after the show was done, tried to give it back but he was gone. I went home so shocked. Smoked a blunt and listened to that gold. Gotta love Wulf man.
intro got me dying man such a down to earth dude. legend
Remember going to a seshollowwaterboyz concert when they first started touring, just a handful of moshers. Now you’re selling out shows. You really are history in the making and a OG in the game. Respect Wulf!
