With her unapologetic sound, unwavering resilience, and anthemic new track “Rocky,” she is carving out her place as one of the game’s most exciting forces. Lexxi has faced challenges, been written off, and doubted — but through it all, she’s remained unshaken, and “Rocky” is her declaration that she’s here to stay.
With her career built on grit, creativity, and deep-rooted authenticity, Lexxi Meshan’s music is more than just sound — it’s a statement of survival, strength, and an artist finding her true voice. We caught up with Lexxi to talk about her creative inspirations, her journey in music, and why Arizona is poised for a hip-hop takeover.
Drawing Inspiration From Iconic Filmmakers
Lexxi Meshan’s artistry isn’t confined to music alone. Her love for storytelling extends beyond the studio and into the world of film, where she finds inspiration in creators who push boundaries. “Ava DuVernay, John Singleton, Issa Rae, Jordan Peele,” she lists, naming filmmakers who have used personal, often culturally rich stories to make powerful statements. “I love creators who take personal, black stories and turn them into culture-shifting moments. That’s the lane I want,” she shares.
Her admiration also spans across genres, with Lexxi drawing influence from directors like James Wan, Wes Craven, M. Night Shyamalan, and the Wachowski brothers. “My imagination slides right in with the rest of theirs,” she says, hinting at her own cinematic vision that blends raw emotion with high-impact narratives. Whether she’s rapping or writing for the screen, Lexxi’s creative vision is vast, and she’s ready to take on the world both in front of and behind the camera.
“Rocky”: The Visual Shoot That Was a Game-Changer
When it comes to her most fun and impactful visual shoot, Lexxi doesn’t hesitate: “Rocky, for sure.” The energy on set was palpable, and for Lexxi, it was more than just a music video shoot — it was a moment of transformation. “I was directing and acting at the same time. It felt like I was finally stepping into who I’m supposed to be, on and off camera.”
For Lexxi, “Rocky” wasn’t just about creating another video to accompany her music. It was an expression of everything she’s worked for: resilience, empowerment, and claiming her rightful place in hip-hop. This video is a cinematic journey that reflects her growth as an artist, making it clear that she’s not just a rapper — she’s a multi-dimensional creator.
Creating Impactful Visuals: A Cinematic Experience, Not Just a Music Video
As Lexxi continues to push boundaries with her visuals, she’s laser-focused on the experience she wants to create. “I want people to feel like they just watched a movie, not a music video,” she says, illustrating her desire to make her visuals stand out in the crowded landscape of music videos. Every frame, every shot, every detail is carefully considered, with Lexxi aiming to leave an unforgettable impact on her audience. “I want them to run it back like, ‘Wait, did you catch that detail?’ I want impact, not just views.”
Her approach is intentional — she wants her visuals to evoke deeper thought and emotional resonance. It’s not about chasing viral moments but about creating art that demands attention and sparks conversation. For Lexxi, every music video is an opportunity to bring her music to life in a new way, with meaning behind every decision.
Film: Not a Backup Plan, But the Next Step
While music has been her launchpad, Lexxi Meshan is clear about her ambitions beyond the mic. “Film is not a backup plan,” she declares. “It’s a second career. I’m not falling back into it, I’m stepping forward into it. One day, I’m gonna be writing, producing, and starring in my own feature films.”
Her vision for her career is bigger than just making hit songs; she sees herself as a force in the entertainment industry, blending music and film into a unique creative vision. With her storytelling skills already on full display through her music and visuals, it’s clear that Lexxi is already setting the stage for her future in film. And when she gets there, it’s not just about making movies — it’s about making culture-shifting art, just like the creators who inspired her.
Staying Authentic in a World That Wants You to “Tone It Down”
Throughout her career, Lexxi has been told to “tone it down” more times than she can count. Whether it was being labeled “too aggressive” or being told she “raps too hard,” she’s consistently ignored those critiques and stayed true to herself. “If I toned it down for y’all, I wouldn’t even recognize myself anymore,” she says with confidence. Her voice is unapologetically bold, and it’s this authenticity that resonates with her fans.
Lexxi is a Sagittarius — a sign known for its boldness and unwavering independence. “I idle at like... 8.5,” she jokes. “I don’t talk too fast, they listen too slow.” For Lexxi, being true to her nature and her craft means never shrinking herself to fit others’ expectations. Her music, her persona, and her visuals are all extensions of the unapologetic artist she’s always been.

For Lexxi, her art is more than just entertainment. It’s about sharing her truth and creating space for others to do the same. Her tracks aren’t just stories; they’re testaments to the strength it takes to rise, even when the world seems determined to keep you down.
