“We all our biggest enemies… I was in the way of myself” ~ Xanman  DMV artist Xanman pulls up to Skipping Class hosted by Lalaa Shepard with The Progress Report for a transparent and entertaining conversation about his journey in music.  He talks growing up in Landover, Maryland discovering music as a kid, and how his uncle — a drummer — helped shape his early sound. Xanman reflects on the DMV scene, the SoundCloud era, his earliest projects, and how his style, flow, and confidence evolved over the years.  He also opens up about his creative process, the pressure of going viral young, and learning to stop being his own biggest obstacle. He also tells the story behind spending $40K at the strip club, his new album ‘Only Way Out’, and responds to controversy surrounding bringing his Goonew’s body to the club after his passing.  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/xanservin/ https://www.instagram.com/lalaashep/https://www.instagram.com/theprogressreport101/ https://www.instagram.com/tprmediagroup1/  Website: https://TPRMediaGroup.com  Listen to us on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-progress-report-podcast/id1494070183  Listen to us on Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/5sBgF6wWa7NmHraP2QuBEv?si=a0f5f19b8a494fb5 Learn more about your ad choices.
