Xavier Lopez, known professionally as Xaviersobased, is an American rapper and record producer from New York City. Known for an eccentric rapping and production style, his songs span a number of genres, including trap, plugg, jerk, and hyperpop.

Jerkin' or Jerk is a street dance culture and hip hop subgenre originating in urban California in the late 2000s. It gained mainstream popularity outside of California by Inland Empire-based groups New Boyz and Audio Push, and has origins in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Since breaking into the mainstream in 2009, jerkin' gained fans along the West Coast, East Coast, and in Europe, notably France and Germany, although it was heavily derided in the Southern United States.
