X'xLusive

Tina aka X'xLusive formerly known as Female Rhyme was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and still lives there which is where her entire family resides. X'xLusive was raised by her mother along with 3 other siblings. X'xLusive is also a single mother of one child (a boy 3 yrs. old). X'xlusive is now 31 years old and has been rapping since she was 12 years old. She started out writing poems and songs and eventually those talents expanded into rapping.

One day in 1991 X'xLusive was writing a poem and she heard her older brother scratching records in the basement. She started saying her lyrics from her poems and from her songs to the beats her brother was making. He was using two turn tables, a tape deck, and a karaoke machine. One day when X'xLusive's brother was gone she decided to go into the basement and "check out" her brother's equipment. Within 2 hours at the age of 12 years old X'xLusive had learned how to record her poems and songs as raps with the music her brother had made with his equipment. X'xLusive knew she loved listening to rap music (Kieth Murray, Bone, Ice Cube, and E40) but she didn't know before that day that she wanted to be a rapper. From then on her brother notice her talents and he worked with her and together they made many tracks together. X'xLusive has been rapping ever since then.

Never played live, not a band...a rap artist.

My life, my brother, and a old school rapper name Kieth Murray influenced me to start rapping. But now my influences are my son (my life), my manager, Big Easy (Ninth Level Recordz Artist), and just the fact that there needs to be a new breed of female rappers to emerge on the scene and I believe I am one of them.

Pc, headphones,mic, recording/editing/mixing programs.

Just want my music to be heard, listened, & understoood and I will never bypass or degrade my individuality just because of what everybody else is use to hearing and/or seeing.
