(1/26/01, 7 a.m. ET) - West Coast rapper Xzibit is enjoying his first platinum album for Restless, his third album. His two previous offerings, At The Speed Of Life and 40 Dayz And 40 Nightz, were both critically acclaimed but commercially disappointing.

Xzibit plans to build on his recent success with the release of the Devin DeHaven-directed DVD/VHS release Restless Xposed this spring. In addition, the rapper will be working on two projects for his newly formed record label, Open Bar Entertainment: albums by Defari and the Golden State Project, which includes Xzibit, Ras Kass, and Saafir.
