1850

1850 is the fifth studio album by American recording artist and producer xxavv, released on June 12, 2026, through xxavvMusik. A raw, minimalist hip-hop and industrial concept record, the album serves as a sonic document detailing the deep fractures of modern America, its historical echoes, and corporate exploitation.

Written, produced, arranged, and mixed entirely by xxavv, the project represents a return to aggressive, message-driven songwriting. Anchored by the anti-establishment pillar "TESTIFY", which rails against predatory 360 deals and corporate music industry theft, and the lead single "ESCALATION", the album challenges listeners to confront generational trauma, societal systems, and institutional greed.
