New Orleans-raised producer XL cut his teeth as a No Limit beatmaker, helping to create hits alongside label head Master P, Juvenile, and C-Murder in the ‘90s. XL parlayed that success into a sustained run as a go-to musical mastermind for a host of artists in the following decades. He brought a strip club bounce to Migos’ “T-Shirt” and kept the swampy Big Easy beats bumping with Kevin Gates on “Great Man.”
