XL & DBD

Rap / Rapcore Metal
California, USA

Todd Stevens is XL, a nick name he was given by the Dynamic Twins in 1990 because of his size. Stevens uses the “XL” name by itself when he records rap albums. He formed the band “XL & DBD” (Death Before Dishonor) to perform his unique style of rapcore metal (which he was performing well before it became popular in the 90s). XL has performed live with SFC, Dynamic Twins, Peace 586, Mortal, and other bands. He has also performed on albums by SFC, Apocalypse, Dynamic Twins, and others.

Stevens is also a member of other bands like Psalt and 20 LB Sledge.
