The first X-Raided album, Psycho Active, was recorded in June 1990 with Sacramento rapper Brotha Lynch Hung, and released in 1992. Brown claims that the recording was made during a deadly conflict between the 24th Street Garden Blocc Crips and the Meadowview Bloods, contributing to lyrics full of violence. Rolling Stone Magazine wrote that "Psycho Active" was the most gangster album of all time.In March 1992, Brown was arrested with four other gang members for murdering Patricia Harris in her home. He was convicted of first-degree murder with a special circumstance of gang-related homicide and was sentenced to 31 years to life in prison.From 1993 to 1995, he recorded songs over the telephone while in jail awaiting trial. They were released on the 1995 album Xorcist. One track begins with a recording of a collect call which identifies him as "an inmate in Sacramento County Jail". This second album garnered even more attention and it was covered in various mainstream media outlets including Playboy (September 1996).His third album, Unforgiven (1998), was recorded on a DAT recorder smuggled in by a prison guard.[1] Beats were added later by producer DJ VerbalTek. His fourth, Speak of the Devil (2000), was credited to the pseudonymous "Nefarious" in order to evade California's Son of Sam II law, and his fifth, The Initiation (2001), was released on his own label, Madman Records. X Raided also earned a degree in Psychology and helped implement programs to aid in rehabilitation of inmates to be paroled and anti recidivism. Brown was paroled on September 14, 2018 after serving 26 years in prison. He said shortly after his release that he was abandoning his X-Raided persona and would perform as "Anerae Veshaughn", releasing music with a positive message. Despite this he has released four albums and 13 singles under his original persona of X-Raided since his release.X Raided recently inked a lucrative partnership between his BlocStar label and independent powerhouse Strange Music.
