Timeline

1985

Donavan LaMond Johnson (born July 9, 1985) better known by his stage name XV is an American rapper, singer and songwriter from Wichita, Kansas.

He first gained major attention after the release of his twelfth mixtape Everybody's Nobody, for which he received two awards from DJBooth.net.

His name, XV, refers to the age (15) at which he began his musical career.

2003

He graduated from Wichita Southeast High School in 2003.

2005

XV worked with producer Michael "Seven" Summers from 2005 to 2012, but since then the two have had a falling-out.

2008

On July 8, 2008, XV released the mixtape Planet Squaria: The Square in the Circle as a free download.

Most of the mixtape was produced by Summers, accompanied by samples of electronica bands Chromeo and Freezepop, and rock bands Gorillaz and Smashing Pumpkins.

The mixtape also featured Lil' Wayne.

XV released a new song every morning and night for 40 days (80 tracks total) as a project for his blog.

Afterwards he compiled the series into a mixtape available as a free download which featured both the morning and night songs in chronological order of their release dates.

The mixtape included artists such as Usher, The Killers, Mickey Factz, Cory Gunz, Tyga, Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West, 88-Keys, and Flobots amongst others.

There were 15 original tracks mixed in with the remixes and freestyles recorded over already-made beats.

2009

XV's released Everybody's Nobody on July 31, 2009.

The mixtape was hosted by DJ Enuff, mixed by DJ Benzi, and presented by Subconscious Threads and received 2500 downloads within the first 12 hours.

Features include Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Colin Munroe, Harlem's Cash, and Ne-Yo.

Most of the mixtape is produced by Seven.

The song "Mirror's Edge" was premiered by DJ Enuff on New York City's top Rap/Hip-Hop radio station Hot 97 (WQHT) on July 3, 2009.

The mixtape was also reviewed by DJBooth.net.

Everybody's Nobody was the first mixtape that helped XV gain fame outside of Kansas.

Although the mix tape did not receive immediate acclaim, it has now been downloaded over 30,000 times.

XV said of it, "I think that Everybody’s Nobody was it. I felt it was before I made it, I felt it was before it was released, when I sat there and watched the comments, and I saw the posts – and I still see, to this day, people sayin’, “I just heard of this dude XV. Download Everybody’s Nobody – this sh*t is crazy!"

2010

On Monday July 26, 2010, XV announced that he had signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records via his Twitter page.

XV knew he wanted to pursue a career involving music.

However, he did not become serious about the venture until a close friend died prior to him entering high school.

His moniker, XV, the Roman numeral fifteen, refers to his age at the time he began his musical career.

After releasing Everybody's Nobody, XV received national attention and subsequently signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records on July 26, 2010, which he announced via his Twitter account.

Although two other labels were vying for the artist, he chose Warner Brothers stating he felt the label had room to expand.

Like, seeing that on different days, and that came out July 31, and it's 2010, and people are still finding it – I feel like, that's what skyrocketed me to become XV.

That was the project."

It has been stated that DJ Benzi will be remixing the mixtape under the new title Everybody's Nobody: We Got the Remix!.

XV teamed up with DJ Ill Will & DJ Rockstar to produce Vizzy Zone.

The project included all original production as well as features from the likes of Mike Posner, Talib Kweli, Bun B, Chiddy Bang, GLC, Colin Munroe, Killer Mike, and Mac Miller.

Vizzy Zone, like Everybody's Nobody, received over 30,000 downloads.

XV explained that he made Vizzy Zone for his fans to DJBooth.

He said, "This one I’m really doin’ for my fans. I'm not doin’ it for my fans as far as, them just wanting music from me... And with me bein’ in the position I'm in right now, I need to hit them with something they can bump, since Everybody's Nobody came out seven, eight months ago. So that's my ultimate plan: give them some good music that follows up Everybody’s Nobody and that's as good as Everybody’s Nobody, while I prepare The Kid with the Green Backpack which, right now, is amazing."

Vizzy Zone still received strong reviews, but many believe that it wasn't good enough to follow up Everybody's Nobody.

2011

On April 15, 2011, XV released Zero Heroes.

Critics have said it is the best XV release to date, and one of the top 2011 mixtapes.

2013

In an interview with HipHop DX, XV stated that his album The Kid with the Green Backpack was aimed to be released in the first quarter of 2013 with Just Blaze serving as the executive producer.

The album was never released.
