Biography

X-Raided was born in Sacramento, California, where he wrote his classic debut album Psycho Active at 16 years old. He was arrested and charged with gang-related homicide just months later. He made history as the first rapper to have his lyrics used against him during a controversial trial. He was sentenced to 31 years to Life, yet continued to release music from behind bars including X-orcist and The Unforgiven, Vol. 1, both of which hit Billboard. After changes to California laws, X was found suitable for parole and freed having served 26 years in prison. He hit the ground running, recording music and filming videos - garnering over 1.9 million views for California Dreamin. He then ignited Still Right Here from ASIN9NE by Tech N9ne, in addition to appearing on tracks by King Iso and Kurupt, while simultaneously emerging as an advocate for reform. While on stage at Red Rocks in front of a crowd of 10,000, it was announced that he had inked a deal with Strange Music Inc., creating a fitting new beginning for a man whose life story was already legendary. He then crafted his magnum opus, A Prayer In Hell; a triumphant tale of personal rebirth with universal implications. “It documents a process of development,” he reveals. “I had to unlearn so much in order to learn how to have a healthier life.” In the end, X-Raided’s prayer is universal: “Whatever difficulty you’re experiencing, I want you to know you can survive. If I can do it, so can you.”
