Shno Xavier is an American rapper, record producer, and model from the Bay Area (California) who’s melodic complexity and smooth lyrical flow delivery captures both genius within a realm between contemporary hip hop and alternative indie music. His versatility complements his “lo-fi like” production which he exercises both on fast and slow tempos. Clearly drawing influence from like artist such as A$AP Rocky, Tyler The Creator, Schoolboy Q & Vince Staples, Shno embodies the “think outside the box” style alongside cocky yet interpersonal content that’s similar to his alternative creative counterparts. Of course there is a hint of what makes Bay Area hip hop so prominent within his music, but Shno is definitely on wave to be in California’s next class of innovators.
