Part 2: X-Raided on Calling Gangs 'Parasitic Organisms', Mom Rewarding Him for Sliding on Rivals
--------
Rapper X-Raided delves into his turbulent past, detailing his journey from becoming a Garden Blocc Crip to his eventual release from prison. Originally interviewed while still incarcerated, X-Raided credits the initial VladTV interview for significantly aiding his early release. According to the rapper, his lawyer emphasized that the interview allowed him to present an updated version of himself, countering the gang-related narrative that appeared in online searches and influencing the parole board’s decision favorably.
X-Raided recounts his youth in South Sacramento, growing up amidst the crack epidemic of the 1980s. He describes being heavily influenced by his family's deep affiliations with the Garden Blocc Crips and how the loss of his maternal grandmother led him deeper into street life. By the age of 15, he was formally inducted into the gang. Reflecting on his violent past, X-Raided refrains from detailing specific incidents but acknowledges the notorious reputation he built within his community.
