X-Raided · Tune In
X-Raided is the stage name of Anerae Veshaughn Brown (born July 30, 1974), a rapper raised on the south side of Sacramento, California. He wrote his debut album Psycho Active at 16, and at 17 was convicted in a 1992 gang-related homicide — a charge he denied — in a case that drew national attention when prosecutors used his rap lyrics as evidence. He continued recording from prison and ran his Bloc Star label while incarcerated. Benefiting from a change in California sentencing law, he was paroled in September 2018 after roughly 26 years. Since release he has expressed remorse and pursued music full-time, signing with BMG and later Strange Music and releasing California Dreamin' (2019) and A Prayer in Hell (2023).
