It’s midsummer and we’re just heating up… something light before the project drops.

Heating Up (Freestyle)

We have the tendency to undermine our shortcomings and amplify those of those who wrong us. This song is an introspective look at the tug between feeling shame, the shame, and what I believe is the antidote forgiveness. Forgiveness towards our sins, ourselves, and others which starts with us with the truth acknowledging the wrong, the real sense of shame whether merited or not, and the process of healing from it by not wallowing in sorrow but making the effort to grow. I’m pretty sure we’ve all asked Why? Why does this mistake keep coming back? Why is this held over my head? Why can’t I get this thing right? This song is for you.

Why?

TOO DEEP FOR THE INTRO….

AFTERMATH (Anonymous XI x Mangos & Avocado)

When life get ugly smile for the picture go ahead and make it gorgeous....

RESILIENT (Anonymous XI x Mangos & Avocado)

You gotta finish what you started... that's how legends are made.

Finish

I heard the instrumental for "Alive" and was immediately drawn in by the energy it oozed it felt big and triumphant. I knew I wanted to use this instrumental as my canvas as I sat and started the creative process I kept thinking about day to day life during this pandemic, the civil unrest due to racial injustices in America, and thought deeply about my own battle with anxiety and depression. After this season we want to come out stronger, wiser, humble, and ultimately I believe we want to be "Alive" truly alive but see that reality doesn't start on the other side of this season but it starts here and now in the mindset we adopt we can come "Alive" today.

ALIVE (prod by BMTJ)

Despite of our circumstances in life we have the opportunity to choose and experience joy not a flippant/fleeting feeling of a elation but a deeply rooted realization that we're gonna be alright when it's all set and done.

Born and raised in Newark, NJ, Anonymous XI’s passion for writing music was birthed by his love for reading books and writing spoken word poetry at his middle school poetry club. His passion for writing heightened when close friends started recognizing a God-given ability to string powerful words over instrumentals.

In 2014, with the support of newly found independent label, Community Music, XI dropped his first mixtape entitled “Seasons Vol. 1” alongside then labelmate Genaro Ortiz.

In 2016, Anonymous XI dropped his solo project entitled “1967”, which, showcased his ability to create thought-provoking music by capturing the realities and effects of Newark, NJ’s 1967 race riots over traditional boom bap elements, unorthodox samples, and forward sounding synths.

Today, located out of Orlando, FL, Anonymous XI finds himself picking up where he left off with a fresh perspective seasoned by marriage, moving across the country, and new experiences at the intersection of faith and culture. Anonymous XI continues to push a brand of music that breeds curiosity, authenticity, and challenges all of us to dialogue with one another. His new single "Why?" releasing September 16th, 2021 explores the theme of shame, it's nagging nature, and it's antitheses honesty and forgiveness.
