XXXTENTACION’s catalogue is much harder to map than a normal four-album discography. His music is spread across studio albums, mixtapes, collaborative tapes, deleted SoundCloud uploads, early EPs, features, restored tracks, alternate versions and posthumous releases. Some early songs disappeared for years. Others returned later on official streaming services. That is why lists claiming to contain “all XXXTENTACION songs” often disagree.
The disagreement is not only about missing files. “First song” can mean his first documented public release or his earliest surviving SoundCloud upload. “Last song” can mean the final track he publicly posted while alive, the closing song on his last lifetime album or the last performance he physically recorded. Those are different questions, and only some have verifiable answers.
Quick answer: XXXTENTACION’s first documented song was “News/Flock,” released in June 2013. “Vice City,” uploaded in 2014, is commonly identified as his earliest surviving non-deleted SoundCloud song. He released two studio albums while alive—17 and ?—followed by the posthumous albums Skins and Bad Vibes Forever. “HEARTEATER,” posted to SoundCloud on March 20, 2018, was his final public song release during his lifetime. No authoritative public session log proves which song he recorded last.
This guide maps the verified catalogue, lists every major album tracklist, separates lifetime recordings from posthumous and archival releases, ranks his biggest Spotify songs using a dated snapshot and organises the music by mood and style. It also explains how his work moved across emo rap, trap, lo-fi, boom bap, alternative rock and experimental hip-hop without treating unsupported fan claims as established fact.

What does “all XXXTENTACION songs” actually mean?
A simple list is not enough. XXXTENTACION’s music exists across official albums, mixtapes, EPs, collaborative tapes, features, deleted SoundCloud uploads, alternate versions, remixes and posthumous releases. Some early songs disappeared from the internet. Others were reissued years later under a different project. A few titles circulate only as leaks and have never received an authorized release.
That creates wildly different answers to questions such as “How many XXXTENTACION songs are there?” One list may count every Spotify track row, including clean versions, remixes and features. Another may count only unique songs released under his own name. A fan archive may include leaked or deleted material that the estate has never commercially issued.
This guide uses a clear scope: the four studio albums, the principal mixtape and compilation, documented early EPs, the Members Only tapes, important standalone singles and officially released collaborations. Unreleased leaks are not treated as finished catalog entries. Where early project information is incomplete or disputed, we say so instead of converting fan consensus into fact.
The result is a usable discography, not a pretend-perfect count: verified releases are separated from deleted tracks, posthumous assembly and archival material.
That distinction matters because XXXTENTACION was unusually fluid even within the loose borders of rap’s many subgenres. A listener searching for the acoustic grief of “Jocelyn Flores” may not expect the blown-out attack of “Look at Me!” or the boom-bap focus of “infinity (888).” His catalog makes more sense when it is organized by era, release status, sound and intent.
Who was XXXTENTACION?
XXXTENTACION was the stage name of Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, born January 23, 1998, in Florida. He built an audience through SoundCloud, first within an abrasive South Florida underground scene and then far beyond it. “Look at Me!” supplied the mainstream break in 2017; 17 revealed a more vulnerable songwriting voice later that year; and ? reached No. 1 on the US albums chart in 2018. He was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, at age 20.
His appeal came partly from refusing to stay in one lane. The Apple Music artist biography describes an artist who combined trap with emo and folk, while his records also touched alternative rock, metal, lo-fi, boom bap and pop. That genre-hopping makes the distinction between rap as a vocal form and hip-hop as a wider culture particularly useful: he could rap, sing, whisper, scream or build a track around texture rather than bars.
Any responsible account also has to acknowledge that his life and legacy are inseparable from serious violence allegations and criminal cases, including domestic-abuse charges pending when he died. His musical influence is real; so is the harm described by his alleged victim. This article does not erase one to discuss the other. For a fuller examination of that conflict, the documentary coverage summarized by GQ is a useful starting point.
XXXTENTACION albums and major projects in order
XXXTENTACION released two studio albums while alive and two posthumously. The later Look at Me: The Album is a compilation, not a fifth studio album. The table below places those records beside the mixtapes and collaborative releases needed to understand the full arc.
| Year | Release | Type | Status | Best entry point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014 | XXX (Unmastered) | Mixtape | Early/deleted in part | “Vice City” |
| 2015 | Members Only, Vol. 1 | Collaborative mixtape | Lifetime | “FUXK” |
| 2015 | Members Only, Vol. 2 | Collaborative mixtape | Lifetime | “Save Me” (early version) |
| 2017 | Revenge | Mixtape | Lifetime | “Look at Me!” |
| 2017 | Members Only, Vol. 3 | Collaborative mixtape | Lifetime | “Off the Wall!” |
| 2017 | 17 | Studio album | Lifetime | “Jocelyn Flores” |
| 2017 | A Ghetto Christmas Carol | EP | Lifetime | Title track |
| 2018 | ? | Studio album | Lifetime | “SAD!” or “Moonlight” |
| 2018 | Skins | Studio album | Posthumous | “whoa (mind in awe)” |
| 2019 | Members Only, Vol. 4 | Collaborative mixtape | Posthumous | “Sauce!” |
| 2019 | Bad Vibes Forever | Studio album | Posthumous | “Triumph” |
| 2022 | Look at Me: The Album | Compilation | Posthumous/archive | “Vice City” into the career-spanning second half |
The four studio albums in strict release order
- 17 — August 25, 2017
- ? — March 16, 2018
- Skins — December 7, 2018, posthumous
- Bad Vibes Forever — December 6, 2019, posthumous
The documented discography also includes a network of early EPs and deleted releases. Those are covered separately below because presenting them as equally complete commercial albums would mislead readers.
Revenge tracklist: the bridge from SoundCloud to the mainstream
Released in May 2017, Revenge is a compact eight-track mixtape that gathered several songs already central to XXXTENTACION’s online rise. It is not a stylistically unified album. Its value is the opposite: it captures the whiplash between distorted rap, hushed confession, indie-rock melody and raw collaboration.
- Look at Me!
- I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore
- Looking for a Star
- Valentine
- King
- Slipknot feat. Kin$oul and Killstation
- YuNg BrAtZ
- RIP Roach feat. Ski Mask the Slump God
“Look at Me!” remains the obvious historical centerpiece. The crushed bass, intentionally abrasive mix and clipped vocal attack turned technical roughness into identity. “I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore” points in the other direction, using space and melody to create intimacy. “King” swerves into guitar-led screaming, while “Slipknot” shows the more conventional rap technician underneath the viral distortion.
The project also explains why generic labels fail. Even the term trap music covers only one part of the rhythmic language here; the emotional presentation and rock dynamics are just as important.
All 17 songs in order
17 was XXXTENTACION’s first studio album and the record that decisively expanded his public image. Instead of reproducing the chaos of “Look at Me!,” it leans into guitar loops, restrained drums, close vocals and direct writing about depression, isolation and grief. Its brevity is part of its design: most songs arrive, expose one feeling and leave before that feeling can be resolved.
- The Explanation
- Jocelyn Flores
- Depression & Obsession
- Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares
- Revenge
- Save Me
- Dead Inside (Interlude)
- Fuck Love feat. Trippie Redd
- Carry On
- Orlando
- Ayala (Outro)
The essential songs from 17
“Jocelyn Flores” is the album’s emotional and commercial center. A melancholy sample, low-key drum pattern and compact vocal turn personal mourning into a track listeners can inhabit. “Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares” is more rhythmically urgent, packing anxious internal motion into a short runtime. “Fuck Love”, featuring Trippie Redd, provides the largest melodic release, while “Revenge” strips the arrangement back toward acoustic confession.
“Carry On” and “Save Me” deepen the exhausted atmosphere rather than chasing a separate hit. The sequencing matters: the record behaves less like eleven disconnected singles and more like one compressed emotional episode. That cohesion is why 17 remains the cleanest introduction for listeners drawn to the softer, emo-rap side of hip-hop.
Content note: 17 addresses depression, death and suicidal thoughts. If those themes feel immediate rather than historical, step away from the record and contact a local crisis service or someone you trust.A Ghetto Christmas Carol: five tracks between the albums
Released in December 2017, the A Ghetto Christmas Carol EP is more forceful and rhythm-first than 17. Its title suggests a seasonal novelty; the music does not behave like one. Across five tracks, X returns to sharp cadences, dense energy and sudden shifts in tone.
- A GHETTO CHRISTMAS CAROL
- hate will never win
- UP LIKE AN INSOMNIAC (Freestyle)
- Red Light!
- Indecision
“UP LIKE AN INSOMNIAC (Freestyle)” is the clearest pick for listeners who want sustained rapping. “Indecision” closes by returning to the guitar-heavy, screamed alternative sound. The EP works as a hinge: it reconnects with the aggression of the early catalog while foreshadowing the anything-goes structure of ?.
All songs on ? in order
Released March 16, 2018, ? was XXXTENTACION’s second studio album, his first US No. 1 album and the last full studio project released during his lifetime. Where 17 stays inside one emotional climate, ? is deliberately unstable. Pop, boom bap, acoustic balladry, distorted rap, Latin crossover and rock appear side by side.
- Introduction (instructions)
- ALONE, PART 3
- Moonlight
- SAD!
- the remedy for a broken heart (why am I so in love)
- Floor 555
- NUMB
- infinity (888) feat. Joey Bada$$
- going down!
- Pain = BESTFRIEND feat. Travis Barker
- $$$ with Matt Ox
- love yourself (interlude)
- SMASH! feat. PnB Rock
- I don’t even speak spanish lol feat. Rio Santana, Judah and Andrez Babii
- changes
- Hope
- schizophrenia
- before I close my eyes
Why the biggest ? songs traveled so far
“SAD!” compresses the album’s central contradiction into one song: an accessible melodic surface surrounding fear, attachment and self-destruction. Its repeated motif is instantly identifiable without needing a long arrangement. “Moonlight” is even more minimal, letting a floating melody and pocket do most of the work. Both became enormous streaming records because their emotional signals are legible within seconds.
“Hope” was dedicated to victims of the Parkland school shooting and pairs a gentle loop with direct address. “changes” strips the rhythm down further, functioning almost like a pop sketch. For listeners who reduce X to melody, “infinity (888)” is the corrective: over a jazzier boom-bap foundation, he and Joey Bada$$ foreground rhyme and cadence.
“Floor 555,” “Pain = BESTFRIEND” and “schizophrenia” preserve the abrasive edge. This contrast is the central fact of the album, not a sequencing accident. ? treats genre as an emotional tool kit, which places it naturally beside the wider world of experimental hip-hop.
All Skins songs in order
Skins, released in December 2018, was the first posthumous XXXTENTACION studio album. At ten tracks and under 20 minutes, it feels closer to a short, unfinished statement than a conventional major-label album. That incompleteness should not be ignored, but neither does it make every song disposable.
- Introduction
- Guardian angel
- Train food
- whoa (mind in awe)
- BAD!
- STARING AT THE SKY
- One Minute feat. Kanye West and Travis Barker
- difference (interlude)
- I don’t let go
- what are you so afraid of
“whoa (mind in awe)” is the album’s most open, weightless song. “BAD!” supplies the compact melodic single. “Train food” is the narrative outlier: a dark, spoken-rap piece built around dread and fatalism. “STARING AT THE SKY” and “One Minute” push toward punk and metal textures, with the latter expanded by Kanye West and Travis Barker.
The album is best understood as a set of late-stage directions rather than a fully resolved destination. It shows where X might have moved, but posthumous completion prevents us from knowing how he would have edited, sequenced or revised the final work.
All Bad Vibes Forever songs in order
Released in December 2019, Bad Vibes Forever is the fourth and final studio album attributed to XXXTENTACION. Its 25 tracks and extensive guest list make it the opposite of Skins: broad, crowded and openly assembled from recordings left behind. Some songs feel complete; others rely heavily on collaborators to build around a brief X vocal.
- introduction
- Ex Bitch
- UGLY
- bad vibes forever feat. PnB Rock and Trippie Redd
- School Shooters feat. Lil Wayne
- I Changed Her Life feat. Rick Ross
- Triumph
- LIMBO feat. Killstation
- before i realize
- Ecstasy feat. Noah Cyrus
- Kill My Vibe feat. Tom G
- Hot Gyal feat. Tory Lanez and Mavado
- THE ONLY TIME I FEEL ALIVE feat. Craig Xen
- the interlude that never ends
- Daemons feat. Joey Bada$$ and Kemba
- ATTENTION!
- Eat It Up
- Voss feat. Sauce Walka
- Royalty feat. Ky-Mani Marley, Stefflon Don and Vybz Kartel
- wanna grow old (i won’t let go) feat. Jimmy Levy
- HEARTEATER
- NorthStar (Remix) feat. Joyner Lucas
- CHASE / glass shards feat. ikabodVEINS
- numb the pain
- IT’S ALL FADING TO BLACK feat. blink-182
“Triumph” is the clearest emotional centerpiece, carried by a complete-feeling melodic performance. The title track reunites the voices of X, Trippie Redd and PnB Rock in a gentle acoustic setting. “ATTENTION!” and “Eat It Up” recover more of the animated rapper, while “HEARTEATER” brings a song first shared during his lifetime into the official album sequence.
The guest-heavy construction remains contentious. A useful critical approach is to separate the quality of individual songs from the ethics and aesthetics of posthumous assembly. Listeners can value a performance such as “Triumph” while still questioning whether every fragment needed to become a commercial release.
Look at Me: The Album tracklist
The 2022 compilation Look at Me: The Album accompanied the documentary Look at Me: XXXTENTACION. Its smartest decision is structural. The first half brings historically important SoundCloud songs to major streaming services; the second half condenses the better-known album years. It is the most efficient legal entry point for someone who wants early and mainstream X in one place.
- vice city
- NEVER
- rare
- FUXK feat. Ski Mask the Slump God
- WingRiddenAngel
- King of the Dead
- FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION (Interlude)
- #ImSippinTeaInYoHood
- I spoke to the devil in miami, he said everything would be fine
- Willy Wonka Was a Child Murderer

- Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares
- Fuck Love feat. Trippie Redd
- SAD!
- changes
- Hope
- Moonlight
- Train food
- whoa (mind in awe)
- True Love with Kanye West
“True Love” received an official release in May 2022 after appearing in connection with Kanye West’s Donda 2; Pitchfork’s release report also documented its place on the compilation. The song illustrates the problem and power of the posthumous catalog: a brief but affecting vocal becomes the center of a new record years after the singer can approve the final form.
The early SoundCloud catalog, deleted songs and EPs
The early XXXTENTACION discography is where confident-looking lists become least reliable. Uploads were deleted, titles changed, projects were announced and abandoned, and fan archives reconstructed tracklists from surviving files and screenshots. The right response is not to ignore this era; it is to label its uncertainty.
| Project | Approx. era | What is known | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| e.motion | 2014 | Early EP associated with his first online period | Not consistently available through official DSPs |
| XXX | 2014 | Early EP/collection; documentation overlaps with other uploads | Partly deleted or archive-dependent |
| Ice Hotel | 2014 | Early EP with cold, atmospheric production and collaborations | Not fully available officially |
| The Nobodys | 2014 | Short early project documented by discography archives | Incomplete and inconsistently preserved |
| The Fall | 2014 | Contains material important to his developing dark style | Some songs survive outside a full official issue |
| ♡ r a r e ♡ | 2014 | Early project linked to “rare” and adjacent uploads | Fragmentary |
| Heartbreak Hotel | 2015 | Planned as an emotionally focused EP; not all intended tracks were released as one final project | Project status disputed/incomplete |
| ItWasntEnough | 2016 | Four-song EP: “Snow,” “MANIKIN,” “I LUv My CLiQuE LiKe KaNyE WeSt” and “I spoke to the devil in miami…” | Historically available online and officially reissued in 2023 |
| Willy Wonka Was a Child Murderer | 2016 | Rock-leaning EP centered on the title track | Partly represented on later official releases |
Several early songs later gained official streaming life through Look at Me: The Album. That reissue strategy matters: “Vice City,” “NEVER,” “rare,” “WingRiddenAngel,” “King of the Dead” and “I spoke to the devil in miami…” can now be heard without treating an unauthorized leak archive as a source.
The texture of this period often sits near lo-fi hip-hop, but not the passive “study beats” version of the term. Noise, clipping, narrow frequency ranges and rough vocal treatment create psychological closeness. The limitations are part of the expression.
XXXTENTACION and the Members Only mixtapes
Members Only was not merely a supporting cast for a solo career. The collective—most visibly associated with Ski Mask the Slump God alongside a wider rotating group—was the social and musical setting in which much of the early catalog developed.
- Members Only, Vol. 1 (2015): an early collaborative tape built around X and Ski Mask’s chemistry.
- Members Only, Vol. 2 (2015): a broader collective document with the rawness of the SoundCloud era intact.
- Members Only, Vol. 3 (2017): arrived as the group’s profile grew; “Off the Wall!” and “What in XXXTarnation” are major entry points.
- Members Only, Vol. 4 (2019): released posthumously and necessarily heard through that context; “Sauce!” is the best-known X-centered track.
Their best collaborations run on contrast. Ski Mask’s elastic, reference-dense flow moves differently from X’s blunt rhythmic attack, making songs such as “Take a Step Back,” “RIP Roach,” “FUXK” and “Off the Wall!” feel like collisions rather than tidy guest spots. Anyone studying how rappers use cadence, tone and spacing can hear the partnership as a lesson in complementary voices.
Important singles, features and collaborations outside the main albums
No album-only guide can explain the full reach of XXXTENTACION songs. Several of his largest or most historically important appearances sit on other artists’ projects or arrived as standalone releases.
| Year | Song | Credit/context | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | Look at Me! | Breakout single; later on Revenge | The distorted record that pushed the SoundCloud wave into mainstream view |
| 2017 | Roll in Peace | Kodak Black feat. XXXTENTACION | A major feature that placed X inside a more conventional Florida rap hit |
| 2017 | Again | Noah Cyrus feat. XXXTENTACION | Shows his ability to fit a polished pop framework |
| 2018 | Falling Down | Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION | Posthumous collaboration connecting two defining emo-rap figures |
| 2018 | Arms Around You | XXXTENTACION and Lil Pump feat. Maluma and Swae Lee | Global pop and Latin crossover produced by Skrillex and others |
| 2018 | Don’t Cry | Lil Wayne feat. XXXTENTACION | Opened Wayne’s Tha Carter V with a posthumous X vocal |
| 2019 | Scared of the Dark | Lil Wayne, Ty Dolla $ign and XXXTENTACION | High-profile soundtrack placement on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse |
| 2019 | Middle Child | PnB Rock feat. XXXTENTACION | Extends the melodic chemistry heard around the later catalog |
| 2020 | Riot | Commercial streaming release of an older song | A politically charged early performance resurfaced during global protests |
| 2022 | Vice City | Official DSP release of the 2014 upload | Brought his earliest surviving SoundCloud-era song to streaming |
| 2022 | True Love | XXXTENTACION and Kanye West | A major posthumous single tied to Donda 2 and Look at Me: The Album |
| 2023 | I’m Not Human | XXXTENTACION feat. Lil Uzi Vert | Posthumous ballad issued around what would have been X’s 25th birthday |
| 2025 | whoa (mind in awe) Remix | XXXTENTACION and Juice WRLD | Joins two enormously influential posthumous catalogs |
| 2025 | The Way | Juice WRLD and XXXTENTACION | Archival collaboration released with the fifth-anniversary edition of Legends Never Die |
Contemporary reports from Pitchfork on “Falling Down” and Pitchfork on “Arms Around You” help establish how quickly the posthumous catalog began taking shape after his death.
What was XXXTENTACION’s first song?
Best verified answer: “News/Flock,” released in June 2013, is generally documented as XXXTENTACION’s first published song. “Vice City,” uploaded in 2014, is his earliest widely recognized surviving, non-deleted SoundCloud song.
Both answers appear online because they answer slightly different questions.
- First documented release: “News/Flock.” It belongs to the very beginning of his public catalog, was deleted, and later resurfaced after years of uncertainty around the earliest files.
- First surviving SoundCloud upload: “Vice City.” It became the practical starting point for listeners because earlier material had disappeared.
- First mainstream breakthrough: “Look at Me!” This is neither his first song nor his first upload; it is the record that broke beyond the underground.
It is not responsible to name his “first song ever recorded.” Private demos can predate a public upload, and no complete studio log is available. “First released” is a verifiable category; “first created” is not.
What was XXXTENTACION’s last song?
Best verified answer: “HEARTEATER” was the final song XXXTENTACION publicly released during his lifetime. He posted it to SoundCloud on March 20, 2018. It was officially reissued in October 2019 and later included on Bad Vibes Forever.
The internet often gives several different answers because “last song” can mean at least four things:
| Question | Answer | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Last song publicly released while he was alive? | HEARTEATER | Posted March 20, 2018 |
| Last studio album released while he was alive? | ? | Released March 16, 2018 |
| Closing song on that final lifetime album? | before I close my eyes | Track 18 on ? |
| Last song he physically recorded? | Not publicly verifiable | No authoritative session chronology proves it |
Claims naming “CHASE / glass shards” or another late session as the literal final recording rely on fan reconstruction rather than a definitive public production log. Those claims may eventually be supported by estate or studio documentation, but they should not be presented as settled fact today. The release history of “HEARTEATER” is documented in the song’s publication chronology.
What is the newest XXXTENTACION song?
The answer again depends on whether “new” means a newly issued X-led track or an older collaboration newly added to commercial streaming.
- “whoa (mind in awe)” remix with Juice WRLD — May 30, 2025. The remix added a posthumous Juice WRLD contribution to the Skins song.
- “The Way” with Juice WRLD — July 11, 2025. The archival collaboration was released with the fifth-anniversary edition of Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die.
- “Broly,” “Fatality” and “IWatchedHimDrown” — July 30, 2025. These older Ski Mask the Slump God collaborations reached commercial services through The Lost Files.
In this article’s July 20, 2026 review, no later authorized release was located. That makes “The Way” the newest clearly identified XXXTENTACION-led catalog addition, while the Lost Files tracks are the most recent commercial appearances of archival X material found in the review. The release history for The Lost Files documents the latter group.
None of these songs was newly performed after 2018. “New XXXTENTACION song” means a new release assembled from or featuring material recorded during his lifetime.
The 20 biggest XXXTENTACION songs by Spotify streams
“Best” is subjective, so this first ranking answers the measurable version of the question: which XXXTENTACION songs had accumulated the most Spotify streams in the latest available snapshot?
The figures below come from the public Spotify stream tracker Kworb, checked July 19, 2026. They are rounded for readability, change daily and are not an official Spotify audit. Duplicate versions and credit structures can also change how platforms display totals.
| Rank | Song | Approx. Spotify streams | Original project/context |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SAD! | 2.555 billion | ? |
| 2 | Jocelyn Flores | 2.506 billion | 17 |
| 3 | Moonlight | 2.453 billion | ? |
| 4 | Fuck Love | 2.165 billion | 17 |
| 5 | Hope | 1.953 billion | ? |
| 6 | Revenge | 1.950 billion | 17 |
| 7 | Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares | 1.930 billion | 17 |
| 8 | Falling Down | 1.751 billion | With Lil Peep |
| 9 | Look at Me! | 1.724 billion | Revenge |
| 10 | changes | 1.528 billion | ? |
| 11 | the remedy for a broken heart | 1.101 billion | ? |
| 12 | I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore | 755 million | Revenge |
| 13 | BAD! | 709 million | Skins |
| 14 | NUMB | 658 million | ? |
| 15 | Carry On | 638 million | 17 |
| 16 | YuNg BrAtZ | 527 million | Revenge |
| 17 | whoa (mind in awe) | 469 million | Skins |
| 18 | bad vibes forever | 466 million | Bad Vibes Forever |
| 19 | Riot | 445 million | Standalone/archival single |
| 20 | Depression & Obsession | 427 million | 17 |
The scale is striking. In the same snapshot, the artist page showed more than 40.4 billion total streams across 175 tracked rows and more than 7.2 million streams on that day. Those totals include features, alternate releases and repeated catalog entries, so they should not be mistaken for a count of unique songs.
The 10 best XXXTENTACION songs for a complete introduction
A useful editorial list should show range, not simply repeat the streaming table. These ten tracks form a stronger first-hour introduction:
- Jocelyn Flores — the defining balance of grief, restraint and lo-fi atmosphere.
- SAD! — his biggest melodic idea and most recognizable crossover record.
- Look at Me! — the abrasive breakthrough that changed the scale of his career.
- infinity (888) feat. Joey Bada$$ — proof of his ability to sustain a more traditional rap performance.
- Moonlight — minimal, hypnotic and instantly identifiable.
- Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares — anxious momentum in an unusually compact form.
- Revenge — acoustic vulnerability without an oversized arrangement.
- Train food — a narrative performance built around fear and fatalism.
- YuNg BrAtZ — concentrated energy from the raw SoundCloud side.
- Triumph — one of the most complete and affecting performances on the final posthumous album.
XXXTENTACION songs by mood and style
If you are looking for a feeling rather than a release date, use this map. The categories overlap because the songs do.
Sad and reflective songs
Jocelyn Flores Revenge Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares Carry On Save Me Depression & Obsession before I close my eyes Triumph
These songs favor close vocals, sparse loops and unresolved emotion. Start with 17 if this is the side of X you want.
Aggressive and high-energy songs
Look at Me! YuNg BrAtZ RIP Roach Take a Step Back Floor 555 #ImSippinTeaInYoHood going down!
Clipping, distortion and short vocal bursts are part of the impact. For adjacent production, explore dark trap.
Melodic and relationship songs
Moonlight changes Fuck Love I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore bad vibes forever Ex Bitch Arms Around You
These records place repetition and instantly readable melody ahead of dense verses.
Rock, punk and metal-leaning songs
King Willy Wonka Was a Child Murderer STARING AT THE SKY One Minute Pain = BESTFRIEND schizophrenia Indecision
The voice becomes a texture—sung, strained or screamed—while guitars reshape the rhythmic space.
Rap-focused performances
infinity (888) Slipknot Riot UP LIKE AN INSOMNIAC hate will never win Vice City
These are the tracks to use when someone claims X could only make short melodic fragments.
Atmospheric and experimental songs
NEVER WingRiddenAngel I spoke to the devil in miami… Guardian angel whoa (mind in awe) UGLY
Negative space, samples and unconventional structures matter more than a standard verse-hook formula.
How XXXTENTACION’s sound changed
1. Raw recording became an aesthetic
The early records do not hide their rough edges. Distortion, low-resolution samples and overloaded bass create physical pressure. This is not identical to polished trap with a distortion plugin added at the end; the entire arrangement anticipates the damage. Sparse beat construction leaves room for a vocal to snap through the mix.
His delivery also suited fast, fragment-based recording. Modern rap’s punch-in and line-by-line recording methods let performers treat every phrase as its own rhythmic event. Even when we cannot document the precise session method for every X song, the finished records often behave that way: abrupt tone changes and compressed phrases matter more than a continuous live take.
2. Short runtimes intensified replay value
Many songs end before a conventional second verse would begin. That can reflect unfinished writing, deliberate minimalism or both. As a listening experience, the effect is clear: one strong loop, one vocal idea and one emotional condition become highly replayable. The structure anticipated a streaming environment in which listeners repeat a 90-second song rather than wait for it to develop across four minutes.
3. Tempo served feeling, not genre rules
X could sound frantic over a heavy half-time pocket or nearly motionless over a quick underlying pulse. Producers studying these records should separate displayed BPM from perceived pace. A practical BPM guide explains why subdivisions, drum spacing and vocal density can make two songs at similar tempos feel completely different. You can also test reference tracks with the free online BPM analyzer and compare key estimates with the song key and BPM finder.
4. Genre became a set of emotional colors
Acoustic guitar signals exposure on “Revenge.” Distorted bass signals confrontation on “Look at Me!” Boom bap creates competitive focus on “infinity (888).” Punk guitar and screamed vocals externalize pressure on “STARING AT THE SKY.” Instead of maintaining one signature beat style, the catalog repeatedly chooses the sonic language that communicates the fastest.
5. Silence and negative space carried weight
Some of the most influential X songs are not technically crowded. “Jocelyn Flores,” “changes” and “Moonlight” leave conspicuous room around the voice. That space makes small shifts feel large. Rappers looking for similar room to write can browse rap beats or practice over freestyle rap beats, but the production lesson is restraint: do not fill every frequency merely because the software allows it.
Influence, legacy and the argument around the music
XXXTENTACION’s influence is easiest to hear in the collapse of boundaries that followed the SoundCloud era. Vulnerable singing, blown-out low end, punk imagery, very short song forms and abrupt stylistic pivots became ordinary parts of youth-oriented rap. He did not invent each element, but he combined and popularized them at enormous scale.
The numbers support the scale, not a moral verdict. The RIAA’s certification database records major awards across “SAD!,” “Fuck Love,” “Look at Me!,” “Jocelyn Flores,” 17, Skins and other releases. Years after his death, current Spotify tracking still showed millions of plays per day.
But popularity cannot close the ethical argument. The allegations against him were serious, and the posthumous mythology around a dead young artist can flatten the people affected by his actions. Mature criticism has to hold two facts at once: the records changed how a generation heard emotional rap, and admiration for those records does not require denial or minimization of alleged abuse.
That tension also belongs inside the wider conversation about what hip-hop culture means. Music is not created or received in a moral vacuum. Context should sharpen listening, not be used as a weapon either to erase artistic impact or to excuse harmful conduct.
The best way to explore the catalog
Do not begin with an algorithmic shuffle. Use a route that preserves contrast:
- Start with Revenge to hear the early stylistic collision in one short project.
- Play 17 front to back for the most cohesive album-length statement.
- Move to ? to hear the range expand in every direction.
- Use the first half of Look at Me: The Album as a legal gateway to key SoundCloud songs.
- Hear Skins and Bad Vibes Forever last, remembering that posthumous completion changes the meaning of authorial intent.
- Then explore Members Only and features to understand the collaborative scene around the solo records.
For current independent music growing out of hip-hop, trap and adjacent scenes, browse the Beats To Rap On hip-hop and rap catalog and the Hip-Hop/Rap Power Charts. The point is not to find a clone. It is to hear which artists have absorbed the permission to move between sounds and built something personal from it.
Frequently asked questions about XXXTENTACION songs
How many XXXTENTACION songs are there?
There is no single universally correct total because deleted SoundCloud tracks, alternate versions, features, leaks and posthumous releases are counted differently. His core catalog contains four studio albums, the Revenge mixtape, the Look at Me: The Album compilation, multiple EPs and Members Only projects. A public Spotify tracker listed 175 track rows connected to his artist catalog on July 19, 2026, but that figure includes versions and collaborations rather than 175 unique solo songs.
What was XXXTENTACION’s first song?
“News/Flock,” released in June 2013, is generally documented as XXXTENTACION’s first published song. “Vice City,” uploaded in 2014, is commonly identified as his earliest surviving non-deleted SoundCloud release. The distinction matters because much of his earliest online catalog was deleted.
What was XXXTENTACION’s last song?
“HEARTEATER” was the final song he publicly posted during his lifetime, appearing on SoundCloud on March 20, 2018. His final studio album released while he was alive was ?, issued on March 16, 2018, and its closing track is “before I close my eyes.” No authoritative public record proves which song was literally the last one he recorded.
What are XXXTENTACION’s albums in order?
His four studio albums in release order are 17 (2017), ? (2018), Skins (2018) and Bad Vibes Forever (2019). Skins and Bad Vibes Forever were released posthumously. Look at Me: The Album followed in 2022 as a career-spanning compilation rather than a fifth studio album.
What is XXXTENTACION’s most-streamed song?
“SAD!” was his most-streamed Spotify track in the public Kworb snapshot checked on July 19, 2026, with about 2.56 billion streams. “Jocelyn Flores” and “Moonlight” followed, each above 2.4 billion in that snapshot. Totals change daily and can differ by platform.
What are the best XXXTENTACION songs for new listeners?
A balanced starting set is “SAD!,” “Jocelyn Flores,” “Moonlight,” “Look at Me!,” “Fuck Love,” “Revenge,” “Hope,” “changes,” “Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares” and “infinity (888).” Together they show his melodic, reflective, aggressive and rap-focused sides.
What genre was XXXTENTACION?
He is most closely associated with hip-hop, SoundCloud rap and emo rap, but his catalog also moves through lo-fi rap, trap, boom bap, acoustic pop, alternative rock and metal-influenced music. That range is why a single genre label does not adequately describe all of his songs.
What is the newest XXXTENTACION song?
The newest clearly identified XXXTENTACION-led catalog release in this review is “The Way” with Juice WRLD, issued July 11, 2025. Later that month, Ski Mask the Slump God’s The Lost Files commercially released older collaborations featuring XXXTENTACION, including “Broly,” “Fatality” and “IWatchedHimDrown.” These are archival or posthumous releases, not newly recorded performances.
