“Realign” is about vulnerability hangovers, specifically the one I experienced after admitting my secret dysfunctional relationship with food to my therapist 3 years ago. This conversation was so tough because I have always been celebrated for my unwavering confidence as a burn survivor and now as a personal trainer, so it was hard for me to admit the ways in which I didn’t love myself yet. For the next two days, I literally felt hungover, energetically drained, and my ego was raging inside my head. My reaction showed me just how much pent-up shame and trauma I had released from speaking my truth, and how desperately my ego was trying to hold onto it. This day was integral to my healing journey because it catalyzed a cascade of radically honest conversations I had with myself that helped me get out of my own way and begin living a free, authentic life.

This mixtape, is my nonchalant exercise. An embrace on why I love to rap. I’m also in love with my versatility because it adapts to my up n down moods being an artist with Tourettes. All 3 songs on here have a vibe of its own but share the same color palette. If you love something you can bump on a long car ride this shit is NOT for you! Bruh it’s like 5 min long so with that said if you got a lil bit of time, this mixtape is a good listen to uplift your mind. It’ll make you dance, it’ll put a pep in your step, and a limp in your walk. So if you’re reading this, I hope you enjoy.

Self Sabotage* is a raw, introspective body of work created in the eye of a personal storm. The mixtape reflects a time marked by negative self-talk, isolation, and a subconscious pattern of self-destruction. Through vulnerable lyricism and bold sonic experimentation, Shno Xavier confronts his internal battles, exploring themes of worthiness, solitude, ruined connections, and the lingering weight of past failures. This project is both a reckoning and a rebirth—an intentional act of perseverance.

Every song on *Self Sabotage* is a breadcrumb, guiding Shno from a dark chapter toward self-forgiveness and creative renewal. Made entirely in solitude, this tape is not a celebration of loneliness, but an exercise in resilience—proof to himself that he could complete something beautiful despite the noise of doubt.


I made this during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I needed to prove to myself that I wouldn’t quit. While collaboration is often the fast track to success, my journey in solitude has taught me painful, necessary lessons. I didn’t isolate out of pride—I did it to learn how to finish something even when it felt like no one was watching. Hopefully, this music resonates with anyone who’s ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsure of their worth
