Negrito made a record deal with Prince's former manager, and later, in 1993, made another deal, this one with Interscope Records. On January 9, 1996, he released his first album, The X Factor, under the mononym Xavier. The album was released on Lexington House Records and distributed by Interscope. He was in a near-fatal car crash in 1999, which left him in a coma for three weeks; he has since said that he felt that this crash "released" him because Interscope terminated their contract with him, after which he resumed hustling. In 2007, he stopped making music, but he returned in 2014, describing his new musical style as "black roots music for everyone". In 2015, he won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. In 2016, his album The Last Days of Oakland was released on the Blackball Universe label. Negrito won his first Grammy in 2017, when The Last Days of Oakland received the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.

Fantastic Negrito Lyrics

He fell on black days, he was always a good friend to me
He told me the pain that he felt when he was a kid
'Bout the way that his father sat strong at the table
But never said a single word to him

My friend's in danger now
My friend's in danger now

He sang all the songs, the ones fathers teach sons how to sing
He put food on the table and always left a place for me
The black hole in the sun that he wanted to come
Will never wash away the pain we feel

I think my friend's in danger now
My friend's in danger now

It's all a bad, bad, bad dream
Sometimes a bad, bad, bad dream can wake a good man from his sleep at night

My friend's in danger now
I guess my friend's in danger now

My friend's in danger now
My friend's in danger now
