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
American pills will wreck 'n kill
American pills will wreck 'n kill
Automatic weapon in a twitching hand
The 50-foot wall of addiction, man
Do you, do you understand?
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Ni-ni-nine inch penis underneath a dress
She wanted everything that he did not have
And if we keep buying everything that sells
American pills will wreck n' kill us, yes they will
You gotta break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Hegemony born with a winning hand
Hegemony born with a winning hand
People get caught underneath the spell
Oh, they keep buying everything that sells
For the thrill
Break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
