Album Notes

Am I my brother's keeper? One may ask, but the answer is quite evident when you meet the brothers of XL. Henry and Keenan Fluker who were born and raised in Central, FL are set to create their own niche in the music industry. Harmonizing together since early childhood, they have created a sound that is a distinctive blend of hip-hop soul that is uniquely their own.

In 2000 XL signed an Artist Development deal with Rick Thomas, CEO of I.C.E. Records and signed their record deal a year later. Since, XL has taken the Southeast Region by storm with smash performances for sold out crowds. They have given exceptional renditions of The National Anthem before packed games for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa Bay Storm, and Orlando Magic. They even rendered a show stopping performance at the legendary Harlem Apollo Theatre. XL has shared the stage with multi-platinum selling artists such as City High, Jagged Edge, JaRule, Ashanti, Ludacris, Trina, Trick Daddy and more. To their credit, XL won the Wild 98.7 Freak Show American Idol 2002 in their home town of Tampa. Whether in the studio or performing live, XL captivates even the most critical ear. Their incomparable musical ability is substantiated every time they pick up a microphone, hit the stage or enter the recording studio.

With the help of Jersey's Hitmaker Music Group, XL's debut album, "ISSUES" is sure to set the charts on fire. "ISSUES" not only illustrates XL's phenomenal singing ability, but also their ability to write hit songs. Writing 9 out of the 10 songs on the album demonstrates the pure talent that XL truly possesses. From the sultry ballads to the blazin' up-tempo heat "ISSUES" captures the essence of hip-hop soul at its best. Come and listen to what the buzz is about. It's Official, XL is going to enrapture the industry like never before.
