Nebula Newswire: The city’s been buzzing — your new album Forever 19 is officially dropping next week. How you feeling right now?

Xfendiar: Man, it feels wild. This album’s basically my whole last year of life, you feel me? Everything I went through at 19, I put it in there. Pain, lessons, little victories — it’s all sealed up in sound. I really wanted to capture that before I move on to the next chapter.

Nebula Newswire: Why the name Forever 19?

Xfendiar: ‘Cause 19 is that moment between being young and stepping into something bigger. It’s temporary but permanent at the same time. Like, I’m only this age once, but the music makes it forever. It’s like a time capsule.

Nebula Newswire: You’ve hinted at “Orion Blakk” being part of your future. Can you break that down for us?

Xfendiar: Yeah, Orion Blakk is like my alter ego. That’s the side of me that’s darker, more cosmic, more mythic. If Xfendiar is the man right here in front of you, Orion is the vision beyond the world. You’ll see more of that energy after Forever 19.

Nebula Newswire: You run BlakkSwanCity and Planet X Live. How do those tie into what you’re building?

Xfendiar: BlakkSwanCity is my base — that’s my label, my foundation. Planet X Live is the portal. That’s the bridge between me and Orion. It’s not just promo, it’s the universe I’m creating. When people step into Planet X Live, they step into my world.

Nebula Newswire: What do you hope people walk away with when they hear Forever 19?

Xfendiar: Legacy energy, for real. Even if it’s just ten people who feel it heavy, that’s impact. That’s forever. That’s why I do it.

Nebula Newswire: And after this drop?

Xfendiar: After Forever 19, I’m going full throttle into Orion Blakk. New music, new visuals, new world. Brick by brick, I’m building the vision.
