Background

Donald XL Robertson was exposed to soul, Funk & Jazz music at a very young age raised in The Big Easy a city known for its rich jazz and Bounce music heritage. He was introduced to Hip Hop by his parents Donald "Duck" Robertson Sr.& Barbara Robertson when they brought home "Rappers Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang. XL's original Rap name was DJ Jazzy D, although he had already changed it to XL after he had joined BIg Boogie to form the New Orleans–based rap group Strictly Business.
