A hero. When you hear that word you might think of Batman or Captain America or someone you look up to. They might have some good character traits like hard working, independent, and brave. Those aren't traits of an ordinary hero those are traits of my hero. My hero is my brother, Reginald James Esteen Jr.


== Early life ==
My brother is my hero because He is very hard working. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia, so he calls us or we call him. At Christmas he usually comes to visit us. My brother had to work, so this Christmas he did not come. Even though he did not come, it shows he is hardworking because even though we are family he doesn't put off work so he can have fun with us.

My brother is independent, and when I say that, I don`t mean he drove a car at 7 years old and he washed his clothes at age 5. When my brother was growing up, he learned how to do stuff on his own. When my brother was in middle and high school instead of taking the bus or taking a car he either walked or took the public city service bus. In case you do not know what that is, it`s the bus that goes around the city, so my dad would give him a bus pass or he would get money to ride the bus.


== Career ==
Even though my brother is hardworking and independent, he is also brave and takes risk. My brother tells me a lot of encouraging stuff like “Team Works makes the Dream Work” all the time because my dad told him the same things when he was my age and older. My dad still tells him things like that and he`s in his 20`s. Another reason my brother is brave is because in middle and high school he played every sport like basketball, football, baseball, and soccer. Even if he wasn't good at the sport, he still tried. Then he practiced and became good at the sport. And he didn't just do school sports. He got up to a brown belt in karate and he does skateboarding and I do karate too.
Leanos began to gain recognition through platforms such as [[SoundCloud]] and [[YouTube]]. His popularity grew after the release of the music video for his song "Betrayed" in August 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8014759/pandora-predictions-lil-xan-lyrica-anderson-mahalia|title=Pandora Predictions to Know: Lil Xan, Lyrica Anderson & Mahalia|last=Blake|first=Emily|date=October 26, 2017|publisher=Billboard|accessdate=December 12, 2017}}</ref> The song peaked at {{Abbr|no.|Number}} 64 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].<ref name="Hot 1002">{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/2018-02-17|title=Billboard Hot 100: February 17, 2018|date=|work=Billboard|accessdate=February 13, 2018}}</ref> In an interview with ''[[XXL (magazine)|XXL]]'', Leanos announced his debut album ''[[Total Xanarchy]]''.<ref name="XXL2" /> The album will include collaborations with artists such as [[Diplo]] and [[Swae Lee]].<ref name=":0">{{cite news|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8094841/lil-xan-betrayed-interview-chartbreaker|title=Chartbreaker: Lil Xan on Face Tattoos and Overcoming Addiction|last=Haithcoat|first=Rebecca|date=January 22, 2018|work=Billboard|accessdate=February 1, 2018}}</ref> In December 2017, Leanos announced his ''Total Xanarchy'' tour,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/lil-xan-reveals-dates-for-total-xanarchy-tour-news.41208.html|title=Lil Xan Reveals Dates For "Total Xanarchy" Tour|last=F|first=Matt|date=December 21, 2017|work=HotNewHipHop|accessdate=February 1, 2018}}</ref> which sold out in five hours according to ''Billboard''.<ref name=":0" />

Diego Leanos (born September 6, 1996), known professionally as Lil xan, is an American rapper from Redlands, California.[2][3] He is best known for his breakout hit, platinum certified[4] "Betrayed", which peaked at no. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100. His former stage name Lil Xan is derived from the name of the prescription drug Xanax.

Early life

Leanos was born on September 6, 1996 in Redlands, California.[5] Growing up, Leanos was poor and lived in motels most of his childhood.[6] He attended Redlands East Valley High School, but dropped out of high school in his freshman year and spent several years at home unemployed.[7][8] Leanos took a job as a street cleaner and sold drugs[9] before he began rapping.[10] Leanos later pursued a photography career in support of several friends who were rappers. He eventually had his camera stolen, and chose to begin rapping in lieu of investing in a new camera.[11]

Leanos was formerly addicted to Xanax, along with opiates and other benzodiazepines, but he was able to quit the drug after two years of addiction.[12][13] Leanos currently speaks out against Xanax abuse and urges people to stop using the drug altogether.[14][15]

Career

Leanos began to gain recognition through platforms such as SoundCloud and YouTube. His popularity grew after the release of the music video for his song "Betrayed" in August 2017.[16] The song peaked at no. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100.[17] In an interview with XXL, Leanos announced his debut album Total Xanarchy.[11] The album will include collaborations with artists such as Diplo and Swae Lee.[18] In December 2017, Leanos announced his Total Xanarchy tour,[19] which sold out in five hours according to Billboard.[18]

In 2018, Leanos announced that he would change his stage name to "Diego" in order to support his anti-drug message,[20][21] though he later said in an interview he was not sure if he would change his name.[22]

Artistry

Leanos has listed Pharrell Williams and N.E.R.D as early influences in hip hop, with other influences including Arctic Monkeys, Cage the Elephant and Queens of the Stone Age.[23] Leanos has also described Drake and Mac Miller as musical inspirations.[10]

According to Pigeons & Planes, Leanos' music started off as "typical trap" and later shifted towards "a murkier, dream-like sound".[23] The New Yorker has described Leanos as part of a "sad rap" movement.[24]

Controversies

Leanos made headlines in 2018 when during an interview he rated the late rapper Tupac Shakur only a "2" [out of 9] and called his music boring. After the incident fellow rapper Waka Flocka Flame claimed on Twitter that Leanos is "banned from hip hop".[25][26] However, Leanos later paid tribute to Tupac by playing the song "California Love".[27]
