Danke für die Info! Ja der Sound von X hat sich leider sehr verändert. War ja klar das er net mehr ein Psycho Active Album machen kann aber sowas wie Unforgiven wär schon geiler gewesen als dieser 0815 Kram den er jetzt bringt.

X-Raided with Ras Kass & KXNG Crooked - It's Up | Official Music Video

Produced By: Twiz The Beatpro

X-Raided, Ras Kass and Kxng Crooked team up for a West Coast lyrical beat down constructed by three of its most well known rap assassins. “I am excited to give the fans some real bars in this era of fast-food lyrics,” X-Raided said. “Hopefully this will cause other emcees where we’re from to get back to what made us who we are in the first place.” Asked to share his thoughts for anyone wondering why these three legends would teamed up on a track, X-Raided replied, “Cuz 'It’s Up!’”


X-Raided -The Sunken Place | Official Music Video

Produced By: Wyshmaster & Igor

Flexing unparalleled verbal acumen once again, underground rap icon and Sacramento native X-Raided unveils a brand new single and music video titled “The Sunken Place,” out now on Strange Music.

His storytelling and dynamic lyricism power up this arresting banger. Right out of the gate, he recounts how a romance unfurls between “a fan of underground rappers” and “one in particular who was locked up doing time.” An ominous piano loop wraps around the track's tense beat as X-Raided warns the listener that, “Sometimes you have to fail to learn a cautionary tale.” The chorus chants, “He had to Get Out, Get Out, Get Out,” alluding to the underlying story of helplessness and hopelessness embedded within this Jordan Peele inspired story.

“I’ve had a lot of conversations with a variety of formerly incarcerated persons who have been in relationships prior to being released,” said X-Raided. “A common theme that arises is that they discover that their view of life had been largely rooted in fantasy while they were incarcerated and that the reality of their circumstances is something entirely different from what they had fantasized. There is a sense of still being imprisoned that sets in where you feel like a character playing a role in your own life, not speaking the way you would normally speak, not dressing the way you would normally dress, until you either lose yourself forever or gain the courage to make dramatic changes that everyone won’t understand. For instance, having children: if your partner has a child that is not yours but presents it to the world as if it were… yet you have no biological children, do you just accept that fallacy and forgo ever having biological children in order to maintain the fantasy that you’ve committed yourself to or do you break away and create a real family for yourself? There are a lot of questions along those lines that we have to ask ourselves upon our release from prison.”

Life tests this particular love to a breaking point, but you’ll need to listen and watch in order to find out what happens as the visual energizes the story on screen, allowing the viewer to explore the ups and downs of the relationship in question, literally bringing the lyrics to life in vivid fashion.

X-Raided - Parasitic | Official Music Video

Produced By: Ac3 Beats

During an appearance on VladTV, X-Raided compared a gang to a parasite, in that it “lived on or within another organism without regard for the survival of its host.” This led to Vlad asking several other artists what they thought about X’s comment. In response to that, the Sacramento rapper has unleashed his highly regarded storytelling ability to infuse Parsisitic with a powerful message about the pitfalls of gangbanging and the way it spreads like an infectious disease. Boasting a dominant flow that is both jarring in its brutal honesty yet simultaneously hyper sarcastic in its unspoken assessment of gang culture, “Parasitic” manages to walk the fine line between parody and pure, unadulterated hip-hop. X weaves and bends his flow in perfect sync with this classic West Coast G Funk track provided by Ac3 Beats, producing what is arguably one of the best rap songs of the year.
