Xzibit

On June 9, 2026, Xzibit took over the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris with The Kingmaker Tour, accompanied onstage by Furnace Band. A major figure of the West Coast since the 1990s, the rapper first broke through with At the Speed of Life and “Paparazzi,” before reaching a new level alongside Dr. Dre, who produced Restless and Man vs. Machine. His trajectory has seen him move between the studio, international stages and mainstream exposure, without ever losing sight of a gritty, narrative, street-rooted rap.

Back in 2025 with Kingmaker, Xzibit brought together Ice Cube and Busta Rhymes, and released a standout single, “Leave Me Alone,” featuring Dr. Dre and Ty Dolla $ign. The project plays a bridging role, exemplified by “California” with Coyote. Onstage, Xzibit presents himself as a frontman, backed by a live band that casts new light on his classics and gives added depth to the new tracks. Between West Coast heritage and fresh material, this Paris date condensed three decades of bangers and storytelling, delivered in the present with an instrumental section honed for the stage.
