Lil Xan is a 21-year-old rapper from Southern California who’s been rapping for only about a year and a half.

Moreover, Lil Xan has also created a movement within the California rap community, with his Xanarchy collective garnering millions of views online. His single “Betrayed” is 62 million views and counting.
