(1995)"Psycho Active" is the debut album by Sacramento rapper,
X-Raided . It was released in1992 through Black Market Records. Most of the lyrics contains violence and the lifestyle of gangstas. He was only 16 when he finished his first recording, an underground project with Sacramento rapper Brotha Lynch Hung, and he was signed within a year to an local major label inSacramento, California . His first solo work, “Psycho Active” in 1992, he had created a huge local buzz in the city ofSacramento that a gifted new rapper was claiming theCrips as his gang affiliation. [ [http://articles.latimes.com/2002/nov/17/entertainment/ca-boucher17 2002 X-Raided article in LA Times ] ]He has also stated that Psycho Active was recorded during a deadly conflict between the 24th Street Garden Blocc
Crips and the MeadowviewBloods so the lyrics are very hard and violent because it was his state of mind at the time. Due to the murder of a grandmother who lived near Sacramento. He and 4 other (Crips) gang members stormed the home of Patricia Harris which resulted in her in her being fatally shot. [ [http://articles.latimes.com/2002/nov/17/entertainment/ca-boucher17 2002 X-Raided article in LA Times ] ]The cover of “Psycho Active” shows Brown’s face with a .38-caliber handgun pressed to his temple. There was talk that some of the songs actually referred back to the murder. Second, police maintained that the gun which he had pointed to his head on the album cover was the actual murder weapon. Anerae Brown and the 4 other Crip gang members was arrested in 1992. X-Raided now says he did not testify about what really happened the night of the Harris murder because he adhered to the gang code of silence. “I could have testified and gone home,” the rapper said. “But I kept it real.” He says he was present at the attack but did not pull the trigger.
