Artist History Fourteen years in the making. Xtrah Large has been honing his skills for years. This Bronx, New York native has been singing since the tender age of four, then rhyming by the age of eight.The problem was he couldn't decide which he loved more...so he mastered both. XL (real name Kiev Campbell a.k.a. Phillip Drummond) has taken his music career to new heights and facets by incorporating elements in is life's experiences of big dreams, fast cars, beautiful women and pools of money. All the while staying humble and modest, this 5' 11", 300-pound teddy bear stands at a crossroad in his career, "I have been making music for a while now and people are starting to notice my gifts and talents now more than ever. I have truly been blessed with talent and a good foundation to build from." XL manages to illustrate vivid pictures in his wordplay, siting good times and hard times in life and love, all the while maintaining a signature style and charm all his own. "I make music for people to jiggle to, to have fun with, and to think about. I'm a big man and I do big things." XL's smash single "It's Summertime" sets the tone for the rest of his album, due out sometime in the early quarter of 2001. XL captures it all, while taking it all. And if his summer anthem isn't enough for the nay sayers then check out the follow up "It's On..." where XL covers the subject of sex, lust and yearning all with a sensual undertone.All in all, XL has the drive, talent and skills to "excel" in whatever he does and will be the one to watch for.
