1. ‘Xanarchy’ Tattoo

Tattoo: ‘Xanarchy’ Tattoo on his both arms and above his left eyebrow.

Meaning: Lil Xan’s stage name ‘Xan’ is derived from his excess addiction for drugs like Xanax, narcotics, and benzodiazepines. The bad experiences with all these drugs and the sudden death of the rapper, Lil Peep with the overdose of Xanax led him to start a movement called the ‘Xanarchy Movement’ by the end of 2017. Xan claimed that he had an addiction for ‘Xanax’ for almost two years and feels lucky that he can overcome this addiction now.

Lil Xan is trying to give a positive message through his music. In an interview with Billboard, he was asked about the negativity in the world of rappers to which he replied,

We also lost Jimmy Wopo on the same day as X, And it’s like, damn man, everybody’s either dying, overdosing… That is what I’m trying to get out of this music… I’m trying to get people off [drugs], and I have my own demons… and my fans know that. I’m an open book.”

Lil Xan’s extended plays Xanarchy and Xanarchy Militia were released on August 1, 2017, and November 14, 2018, respectively. Not only this, but Lil Xan’s ‘Total Xanarchy’ album was also released on April 6, 2018.
