Rap Star Nxll Showcases Star Quality On Latest Single “One of One”
Nxll is a rising rapper hailing from Prince George’s County, Maryland, and based in Chicago, Illinois. His passion for music began at an early age, and he honed his skills as a music producer during his junior year of high school. Nxll’s talent and dedication quickly led him to explore rapping, which he began pursuing during his freshman year of college. From his early days as a music producer to his current status as a rising rap star, Nxll is committed to delivering a unique and unforgettable musical experience to his growing audience, as is evident on his newly released single, “One of One”, and accompanying visualiser.
“One of One” makes an impact on first listen. Featuring a gritty, atmospheric beat and Nxll’s unmistakable and effortless rap flow, “One of One” shines the spotlight on a talented rapper in his element. The track also showcases his clever lyricism while he raps about being confident on his journey that everything will work out, which he wrote during a difficult period.
Elaborating further, Nxll says, “I created this track during a pretty difficult time. I moved from DC to Chicago this past summer and don’t know many people here. I struggled a lot just trying to figure out life in general out here, and sometimes I don’t know who or what to trust. I know I have an ultimate goal that’s in music, but you never know where this journey is going to take you or what chances you have to take along the way.
“Through it all I remain confident that things will work out no matter what. I believe this track encapsulates this feeling I’ve been having. Something that is a one of one is completely unique and can never be replicated. I believe that describes me as an artist and human. The visualiser blends lifestyle scenes from both DC and Chicago, representing the move I recently made and the culture shift I had to adapt to.” “One of One” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
