Emerging from the heart of Queens, New York, rising music artist Lexie G is quickly becoming a name to watch in the music industry. Born Alexus Gonzalez, Lexie grew up amidst the cultural richness of Jamaica, Queens, and later in the legendary Queensbridge Houses, home to hip-hop greats like Nas and Mobb Deep. This upbringing shaped her gritty yet soulful artistry, giving her the edge and authenticity that fans resonate with.
“I was raised in the concrete jungle,” Lexie shares. “Coming from the same block as my rap influences gave me inspiration. I knew I would make it; I saw myself in them.”
The Making of Lexie G
With a diverse heritage—her mother being Italian and Black, and her father Trinidadian—Lexie’s artistry is a fusion of cultures. Her island roots exposed her to soca, calypso, reggae, and dancehall, while her parents’ love for hip-hop and R&B ignited her passion for music.
By age 12, Lexie was rapping and writing, and after stepping into her uncle’s recording booth, she never looked back. Her stage name, a childhood nickname, was solidified by her peers, who hailed her as a school celebrity. “I would hear ‘Lexie G’ through the halls. It just stuck,” she recalls.
A Unique Sound and Vision
Lexie G’s music reflects her eclectic influences, drawing inspiration from artists like Nicki Minaj, Nas, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Roxanne Shante. Her unique selling proposition lies in her authenticity and spiritual connection with her listeners.
“My music is made to heal others and allow them to connect to their higher self,” she explains. “The subliminal messages in my lyrics and visual creativity create a spiritual bond with my supporters. They are my soul tribe.”
New Music and Cosmic Vibes
Currently, Lexie is promoting her new single, Heavy, featuring fellow female rapper Dessi Li. “It’s a fresh female drill, party sound for the upcoming spring and summer,” she says. Alongside this, she’s hard at work on her debut album, Mother Nature, slated for release this summer.
“Mother Nature has a very astronomical vibe,” she describes. “The beats are galactic, something the world hasn’t heard before. The concept relates to who I am as a female—natural, raw, and connected to cycles and emotions like the earth itself.” Her production is done by Money Nation Management Inc.
The Philosophy of Lexie G
Lexie’s philosophy is deeply rooted in energy, frequency, and vibration. “Music is made up of these things, allowing me to connect to my highest purpose,” she says. It’s a belief that not only fuels her creativity but also aligns with her mission to uplift and inspire her audience.
Vision for the Industry
Lexie is determined to carve her path in an industry she finds divided. “There are a lot of talented artists and others famous based on clout. I come to set the tone and demonstrate the difference,” she asserts. Her dream for the industry includes giving artists more creative control, access to their masters and royalties, and recognition based on talent, not follower counts.
What’s Next for Lexie G
With her eyes set on an international audience, Lexie aims to bridge the old school with the new school, creating a sound that transcends boundaries. Her list of dream collaborators includes Queen Naija, Jhené Aiko, Pharrell, and Missy Elliott.
As she prepares to launch her website and roll out Mother Nature, Lexie leaves fans with a powerful message: “If you gravitate to my music, your higher self is calling you. You see your fullest potential in me. Follow your dreams and believe in yourself always.”
Lexie G is not just another name in music—she’s a movement, blending raw talent, cosmic energy, and an unshakable connection to her roots. As she continues to rise, the world will soon know the power of her sound.
