Lil Xan has been played on NTS in shows including NTS X DISTROKID: CITY SIGNAL, featured first on 12 March 2018. Songs played include Betrayed, Far and Slingshot.

California rapper Diego Leanos (born September 6, 1996), known professionally as Lil Xan debuted with a drugged-out sound that helped propel his track "Betrayed" to viral success. Delivering emotive rhymes that focused on sex, drugs, and hedonistic behavior, his music fell somewhere between contemporaries like Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Peep. Born Diego Leonas in Redlands, Xan emerged in 2016 with songs like "Sorry" and "Center Fold," building an Internet following that would gain traction in 2017 with songs like "Been Bout It," "Slingshot," and "Who Are You." A short EP, Xanarchy, arrived the same year. The rapper's Total Xanarchy tour, which sold out in five hours, launched in January of 2018. His debut album, also titled Total Xanarchy, arrived in April, and featured guest appearances from 2 Chainz, Diplo, Charli XCX, and others.
