Kingmaker

Xzibit

A heavy, cinematic meditation on legacy and mortality. Gravelly baritone flows meet dark orchestral production in a high-stakes urban landscape.

It's like a Godfather movie in rap form, but Xzibit is the one looking back at the wreckage.

A heavy, regal contemplation of a life lived in the spotlight and the shadows it leaves behind.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The haunting choral backdrop that opens Play This at My Funeral, setting a morbidly regal tone.
The rhythmic tension in Belly of the Beast where the bassline mimics a panicked heartbeat.
The sudden, stark transition into the title track Kingmaker, where the orchestral elements reach a fever pitch.
