Genesis LXG 


A former NBA player (Los Angeles Clippers) (New Jersey Nets) has always been a lyrically gifted artist who made his debut in highschool on the Stretch Armstrong and Bobito WKCR show. Discovered by Reggie Osse former lawyer for Sean puffy Combs, he was then in meetings with P Diddy, Atlantic Records and Def Jam. Opting to take a full athletic scholarship instead of an offer with Bad Boy Records, Genesis LXG excelled and soon signed with the Los Angeles Clippers. After being released he was then assigned to the NBDL in SC. It was there he began to record again. He caught the ear of the head programmer of the top radio show in South Carolina, his single "Jump Off N**gas" was in heavy rotation. At this time Genesis LXG was on the hit reality show Life In The D  League which aired on ESPN. Gaining notoriety from the radio and television, labels began calling again. Upon his return to NY he was signed by the New Jersey Nets. Once again he was forced to make a decision between his true love (music) and basketball. However Genesis LXG left to pursue a career in Europe. Upon returning Genesis LXG reunited with highschool friend Vast Aire of (Cannibal OX) the seller of over 100,000 records, and together they formed L.X.G. This is the second group the duo formed, in highschool they started the group (Atoms Family). He appeared on the internet smash hit "Battle Of The Planets" as well as "Graveyard Shift".
Since then Genesis LXG has appeared on numerous mixtapes and albums by well known and underground artist. In 2007 Genesis LXG Released the critically acclaimed Street Album "Clockwork Orange"
funded by Lamar Odom (Los Angeles Lakers) (Kardashians) who Genesis befriended when they were teammates, and produced by Grammy nominated producer Steve Sola. In 2011 Genesis LXG auditioned for X Factor at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, ironically its where he played as a New Jersey Net. He was a finalist making the final 200 out of 27,000. With Genesis, Astro, who went on to make the show and become a finalist being the only rappers to make it through, this solidified what he already knew. In 2012 Genesis LXG has returned fully focused releasing the heavily downloaded Street Album "The Crown" this has once again made him the subject of labels and industry artist alike. Early this year Genesis LXG has also been filmed for a pilot called "The Crossover" about a former NBA player attempting to make a comeback to the NBA, while simultaneously trying to land a major recording contract. This pilot was shot by a VH1 camera crew partnered with "Beloved Moving Images". It has been well received and is in heavy green light consideration. Gearing up for his highly anticipated release of the EP "The Invitation" and the album "The Throne"
(which will be disributed by Whatevaok Ent/ RED Music : A Division of Sony Music) Genesis LXG is truly the artist to watch for in 2014......
