Album info

In 2014, X-Raided continued to leave an indelible mark on the hip-hop scene with the release of “Psychoactive 2,” via Block Star Entertainment and RBC Records. Melding gangsta rap’s edginess with conscious lyricism, the album serves as a compelling sequel to his earlier work, navigating the complexities of life, morality, and societal norms.

The project kicks off with “Born In The Darkness (Intro),” setting a tone that is simultaneously introspective and menacing. It segues into “Let There Be Darkness,” featuring G-Macc, which further establishes the album’s dark, brooding atmosphere. Songs like “Reason Of The Siccness,” featuring industry veterans Brotha Lynch Hung and C-Bo, show X-Raided at his lyrical peak, blending intricate wordplay with harsh realities.

“I Am Lead” and “Put The Smash Down” are heavy hitters that touch on the rapper’s enduring resilience and capacity for lyrical warfare. “Mista 357 Part II” serves as a gripping sequel that encapsulates his growth as an artist. Collaborations with B. Parker come into play in tracks like “Come Wit Me,” “I’m A Starter,” and “Bacc Tat,” enriching the album’s emotional palette.

Tracks like “Talk 2 Much” and “Shocc Absorbers,” featuring Smigg Dirtee, veer into social commentary, reflecting X-Raided’s ability to balance street life and intellect. “Scatterbrain” and “Price On Ya Head” offer cautionary tales steeped in wisdom, while “Look In My Eyes” and “Wet ‘Em Up” demonstrate the rapper’s readiness for battle, both metaphorically and literally.

The album winds down with tracks like “Wutz My Name” and “Sheep In Wolf’s Clothes,” before concluding with the chilling “I Am Become Death,” encapsulating the artist’s intricate relationship with mortality and legacy.

Produced with razor-sharp precision, “Psychoactive 2” exemplifies X-Raided’s mastery of storytelling and lyrical dexterity. The album is a testament to his enduring influence, as it tackles issues that are as relevant today as they were when he first emerged on the scene.
