Zxkker (real name Zylus Barker) is an independent artist from the UK, and the CEO of Revolution Underground Records (also known as R.U.G).

Backstory

Zxkker first gained recognition doing EDM music, but he later moved on and started doing hip-hop.

Early Stages

Zxkker started releasing singles such as “Tear Drop”, “Lose Interest” and “I’m So Sad So Deal With It”. But, in mid-2019, he released his EP, “She Said She Loved Me First”, including the underground hit “True Love Doesn’t Exist”.

Later Career

For the rest of 2019, Zxkker just dropped singles. For anticipation. For Planet X-[X.E.N.O]. It included song such as “Pure Purple Flame”, “Runaway P.A.P.P.F.2” and “No Loyalty”. He then followed up that release with his sophomore album, “Star Tape 87”.
It included songs like XO Kamikaze, 666online, Cyclone Freestyle and TLDE P.2. The album got 1K+ in a day, and this was a big advancement, because Zxkker made underground music, but now, his music gets 4K+ monthly listeners on Spotify.

“P!NK SOON”
Zxkker announced his album “P!NK” after dropping Star Tape. It took a whole year to get the album ready. And then, after 1 whole year of waiting, the album released on January 15, 2021. The album includes a sole single, which is “Deathbed”, featuring close friend, $kirmish. The album also had very gothic and punk rock vibes, like Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red

Influences

Zxkker is HEAVILY inspired by Playboi Carti & Lil Uzi Vert. Especially his early 2021 album, P!NK.
