Psycho Active
''Psycho Active'' is the debut album by Sacramento rapper, X-Raided. It was released in 1992 through Black Market Records. Most of the lyrics contain themes of violence, alcohol/marijuana use and depict gang-life. He was only 16 when he finished his first recording, an underground project called ''Niggas In Blacc'' with Sacramento rappers Brotha Lynch Hung and Sicx, and he was signed within a year to a local major label in Sacramento, California. His first solo work, “Psycho Active” in 1992, he had created a huge local buzz in the city of Sacramento that a gifted new rapper was claiming the Garden Blocc Crips as his gang affiliation.〔(2002 X-Raided article in LA Times )〕
==Background==
He has stated that Psycho Active was recorded during a deadly conflict between the 24th Street Garden Blocc Crips and the Meadowview Bloods so the lyrics are very hard and violent because it was his state of mind at the time. The day before the LP's release, X-Raided was arrested by Sacramento P.D. for the murder of Patricia Harris, the grandmother of two Meadowview Bloods' members. Four other gang-members were also arrested for their involvement. The Crips' were allegedly looking for the two brothers for revenge, as they had earlier killed J-Dogg, a Garden Blocc Crip member.〔
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 ('Still Shooting' in particular) actually referred back to the murder (Lyrics written by X-Raided in the song 'Still Shooting' said "I'm killin' moms, daddys and nephews. I'm killin' sons, daughters and sparin' you"). Second, police maintained that the gun which he had pointed to his head on the album cover was the actual murder weapon although the weapon was never retrieved. Anerae Brown and the 4 other Crip gang members were 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 a 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.〔 〔(X-Raided Still Unforgiven from Davey D )〕
