Underground Rap icon & Sacramento native X-Raided serves up his new single entitled NO CONVERSATIONS, featuring Seattle’s Ellis Prescott, out now via Strange Music

Anchored by a thick bass line, head-nodding beat, and transfixing synth loop, the ‘No Conversations‘ flaunts X-Raided’s elite and otherworldly lyricism. His brash cadence hits hard as he warns,

“I’m giving ‘em no conversations”,

while Seattle singer and songwriter Ellis Prescott laces the song with an ethereal and entrancing melody. The momentum culminates in the chant,

“That was then, this is now, we gonna win, this is how.”

About the song, X-Raided remarked, “I came across a quote that resonated with me. It said, ‘If your phone doesn’t ring when you’re struggling, don’t pick it up when you’re winning.’ As I’ve progressed through my life, culminating with signing to Strange Music, I’ve noticed that a lot of fair-weather friends popped back up with unsolicited input and unstated desires that weren’t being communicated prior to a few milestones that I reached publicly. People who I’d tried to help or who I’d shared my vision with and thought I was wrong were super gung-ho to participate in my journey all of a sudden. It’s flattering at first. So, you don’t notice yourself allowing them access to you until one day you look up and there are all these people celebrating victories that they didn’t help you achieve. I like to say that they don’t show up for the games in the rain and mud. but they want to stand next to you popping champagne and taking pictures when the confetti’s falling”.

He admits, “It made me sad for a while until I realized that it was necessary to be less accessible. I’ve heard it said that ‘everyone can’t go,’ and that’s something I’ve had to accept lately. I have plenty of positive relationships to focus on with my family, my business partners and industry contacts, my teammates, and the fans. Outside of that, I’m having ‘No Conversations’”.

It lands after the fan favorite ‘The Sunken Place’. The latter has racked up shy of 100K YouTube views on the music video. Meanwhile, the song landed looks from Music Existence, Underground Hip Hop Blog, and Hip Hop Over Everything, among others.

Right now, he’s preparing more music for release soon! No more conversations, he’s putting in work…

Most recently, X-Raided shined on ‘Knock’ from Tech N9ne’s ‘BLISS’ alongside an a-list cohort, including Conway The Machine and Joyner Lucas. Last year, he made a long-awaited return with his Strange Music debut album, ‘A Prayer In Hell’. Taking flight, the single ‘Stratus Fear’ [with Tech N9ne] gathered 1.8 million Spotify streams and 414K YouTube views on the cinematic music video. Meanwhile, he landed major looks from the likes of the New York Post, Hunnypot, and TMZ, among others.

The latter professed, “X-Raided wants his experiences to steer past, current, and future inmates in a better direction.”

Plus, V13 welcomed him as its cover star in an extensive story.

Get ready for X-Raided’s next era!
