Chino XL (born Derek Keith Barbosa, April 8, 1974, in The Bronx, New York) is a New Jersey rapper who is a cousin of Ryan Songolia and a nephew of Bernie Worrell of Parliament/Funkadelic. He is known for his technically accomplished style and battling abilities. His style incorporates self-consciously over-the-top punchlines (which usually take the form of puns or similes) and exaggerated egotism. He is also known for his brief feud with Tupac Shakur. He cites his biggest influence as LL Cool J. He is a member of the intellectual collective Mensa.[1]
