New York rapper Xaviersobased said he would "knock out a whole album" with pop singer Sabrina Carpenter, in a cover interview with Hypebeast published on 28 October 2026. Asked whether he would draw a line at a collaboration with Carpenter, he laughed before giving the answer.

The remark sits in a cover story titled "Xavier, So Blessed," which is part of Hypebeast's magazine issue 38. Pitchfork also reported his comments on the same day, and in that coverage he said he is open to working with other artists, but that it "has to feel right and be done in a certain way."

Xaviersobased has a track record of working with other artists. He has collaborated with the rapper OsamaSon, the rapper Lil B, and the producer Skrillex, according to the Pitchfork report. Each of those partnerships is a different kind of project, so the list shows range rather than a single style.

For readers new to the term, a "feature" is the music industry's word for a guest appearance on someone else's song, usually a verse or a vocal line. A full album built around two artists is a bigger undertaking. It is typically a joint project in which both artists agree on creative control, and it can involve the record labels and publishers that own parts of each act's music.

Those details matter because a comment in an interview is not the same as an announcement. Xaviersobased's words describe his willingness to work with Carpenter, not a finished plan.

Fans who follow both artists will likely take the comment as a sign of interest. The industry process from talk to record is long, and many collaborations never leave the conversation stage. For now, the story is a rapper who laughed, said yes in principle, and set one condition: it has to feel right.
