Hip-hop veteran Xzibit makes a triumphant comeback with Kingmaker, his first solo studio album in over a decade. The project marks a confident return from one of the West Coast’s most recognizable voices, blending classic rap grit with the wisdom of experience.
On Kingmaker, Xzibit sounds focused and unapologetic, delivering sharp lyricism that reflects on legacy, survival, and longevity in the rap game. The album features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Busta Rhymes, Redman, Royce da 5’9”, and others — reinforcing Xzibit’s deep roots and respect within hip-hop culture.
Rather than chasing trends, Kingmaker leans into authenticity. The production balances hard-hitting beats with polished, modern touches, while Xzibit’s commanding presence reminds listeners why he remains relevant. The album’s title reflects its theme: Xzibit positions himself not just as a king, but as someone who helps shape and elevate others.
Kingmaker is more than a comeback — it’s a statement. Xzibit proves that time away hasn’t dulled his edge, and that true hip-hop craftsmanship only grows stronger with age.
