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.

Exactly!
That actually makes more sense imo!? I mean Ok Stones are cool! Brought out some brilliant music! Ok. It's a matter of PO
Come on people.
I don't know. It seems
Artists who are just Truly Great in many ways. Vocals, Lyrics, Life! Without 'Big News headlines' Are Criminally underrated But. Those with both good, & bad & even stupidity Are more 'recognised' ?
In this case.
I have to say
#FantasticNegrito And his 'Journey', To who he is & what he has also overcome to get 'Back' here,..
I'ts a story Everyone should read. Some #Quotes are worth more than a Whole Album from some 'Artists' ( using that word loosely with 'Many' 'In mind'. It amazes me how some get away with it today!??
Respect to This guy. Truly #Legendary #Inspirational Artist / Musician #RawTalent 💯 !!
