The former producer of the popular artist group "XG," who is facing charges of cocaine use, pleaded guilty at his first trial. The prosecution is seeking a 18-month prison sentence, and the verdict will be handed down on June 1st.

do you guys have a preference? personally I’d love to collect as many official cards as I can but it’s just not affordable :(

I tend to like the lomo + fanmade stuff since there is variety & I’m able to fill out my album better! But alas, I also want to get more official cards in my collection so I’m conflicted lol

but tell me your take pls !!! it’s been on my mind recently while looking for photocards

Hey everyone! I just booked a VIP ticket to HITC, mainly because I’m a huge XG fan and couldn’t pass up the chance to see them live. The only problem is none of my friends are into it, so I’ll be going solo :(
Is anyone else going who wouldn’t mind me tagging along? Would love to have some people to enjoy the show with. I'm also a big fan of KiiiKiii, LngShot and down to see other performances as well.

Hey everyone! My black cropped hoodie came in today! It’s suuuuper adorable but a warning to anyone who may get it — not all the eyelets have decorations so don’t think any fell off! Additionally, the ones that are on it do come off VERY easily. One of mine fell off when I was putting it on and I panicked because I thought more were missing. Definitely take them off before washing. Just a heads up!!

(It is shown in the product picture but not super clearly so don’t panic like me!)

XG is unknown in UK ,what songs they need to do to stand out and most importantly gain their respect!

P.s

UK LoVe old skool pop, rnb and hiphop.

XG must present all 3.

Lets do-

Top 3- 10mins(stage limit)

Top 5- 20mins(stage limit)

And WHY?

Okay hear me out. I've been sitting with this for days and I can't shake it.

XG has been radio silent for months. COCONA just dropped a blog post (May 18) talking about "preparing something new" and "trying to update their personal best."

Cute on the surface. But if we’ve been paying attention to what just happened in K-pop, this hits different.

Let's connect the dots.

The Facts: aespa's Whole Different Animal (WDA) just dropped featuring G-DRAGON.

Production credits: Dem Jointz, Ryan S. Jhun, and GD himself co-writing his verse.

This isn't a normal K-pop feature. This is SM Entertainment announcing "the in-house producer model is dead, we're doing pure genius-aggregation now."

And GD literally referenced "Whiplash" in his verse. It was intentional. It was a statement.

So the new playbook is:
• Cross-agency collaboration
• Generational legend involvement
• Producer teams, not a single mastermind
• Lyrical callbacks to past catalogs

Now, who runs the XG trust? Avex. They have deep pockets and they are absolutely not going to let XG die after everything that went down.

The former producer is gone. That chapter is fully closed. They need a reset that doesn't just say "we survived without him," but says "we are better without him."

The Wild Theory:
What if XG goes harder than anyone expects and gets Kendrick Lamar to produce their next drop? And what if he features on it? And, stay with me, what if the entire track is a beef track aimed at the former mastermind of THE CORE era?

I know, I know. Sounds insane. But think about it:

1. The narrative is already there. "We were never yours. The genius wasn't you, IT WAS US. Watch what we do without you." It's the exact emotional arc the members need to reclaim ownership of their art.
2. Avex has the budget. Kendrick is expensive, but not impossible. Trans-Pacific collabs are happening. The walls are down.
3. The timing is sus. XG has been quiet, getting solid studio time. COCONA explicitly saying "personal best" isn't a normal "we are preparing" tease. It's a flex.

I don't think there has ever been a genuine beef track aimed at a former producer. It would be historical. It would dominate every music conversation for months. And it would force them to step into the role they were always meant for: actual artists.

Why it works:
The narrative writes itself. A group teams up with modern hip-hop's most trusted storyteller to reclaim their voice. The villain isn't another artist; it's the guy who built the cage they were kept in. Kendrick wouldn't even need to drop names; the whole industry would know immediately.
Why I might be wrong: Kendrick might be too American, too political, or too expensive. Avex might play it safe. XG might go the "move on without addressing it" route. That's valid, and honestly more likely.

But every time I listen to WDA and look at that production team, I think about how the ceiling for K-pop collabs just got raised. And XG has more narrative ammunition than any group in the scene right now.

If we’re going to rise from the ashes of a scandal that big, do you whisper? Or do you put Kendrick Lamar on the track and let him cook?

I know what I'd do. Place your bets.
Because in the end, XG is a phoenix. And phoenixes don't whisper.

We all know Avex will not take care of them like they should. Who’s going to protect the girls and Cocona now? Who’s going to produce the amazing music that they were known for? I feel like this sub has been so focused on defending Simon, that you’ve forgotten the most important people in this situation. It would be different if it was just Simon, but even Chancellor is out of the picture now. The members probably don’t even know who to trust now. If they don’t have another comeback this year we can say goodbye to XG.

I know him and his group work together to create the lyrics, the mixing, the sound etc.
I'm worried their future songs won't have that XG sound

I’m watching the XG tour video #84 The Core world tour. Who is Sienna in relation to the group? I want to understand the relationship between them because Sienna’s message for their final night of tour was sweet. = ^ . ^ = as an extra note, if there are US fans who have a discord or a facebook page let me know! I’d love to meet some people who like them!!
