Legxacy began making music at 19, after hearing Kanye West's album The Life of Pablo. He released his first EP, Dynasty Program: A Metrical Composition Inspired by the Nights Spent as the Raiider, in 2019. It became the longest-running number-one rap song in the UK, holding the position for 10 weeks. On 4 July 2024, he released the song "nothings changed (!)" and dedicated it to the memory of his sister, Atinuke Olaloye, who had died of sickle cell anaemia the previous year. His second mixtape, Black British Music (2025), was released via XL Recordings on 18 July 2025 and was his first on a label. == Artistry ==

Legxacy's music was described by Georgia Mulraine for DJ Mag as mixing "rap, lo-fi, emo, Afrobeat and eclectic samples". Niall Smith, writing for NME, said Black British Music (2025) blends "grime, R&B, Afro-fusion, UK rap and folk". He has cited JPEGMafia, MF Doom, Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, SZA, and Kendrick Lamar as influences on his music. Grant Sharples for Paste, in reference to Legxacy's stylistic progression, says, "while black british music largely adheres to the Afrobeats-emo fusion he cemented on hnpm, he adapts that blend in fresh ways, whether it’s through acoustic balladry, lush alt-pop, or anthemic Britpop". == Discography ==
