Read Full BioXavier Amin Dphrepaulezz (born 1968), better known by his stage name Fantastic Negrito, is an African-American singer-songwriter whose music spans blues, R&B, and roots music. 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
I don't got no money
And I don't got nobody
And I ain't got no place to live no more
'Cause she took everything
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
My friends tried to tell me
But now I'm so so sorry
And I blame all those things that are wrong with my life
On a conspiracy
Welcome to my life
I said I wanna welcome you into my life
I wanna come back home
It's so sad to be alone
Can I come back home?
Oh, I wanna come back home
It's so sad to be alone
I won't do it again, and again and again
Oooh, come on
Do it tomorrow
I'ma pay up
I'ma do it tomorrow, yeah
Well, tomo-mo-mo-mo-mo-mo-mo-morrow
Take a piece of my life
Oh, welcome to my life
Please do not come, please
And then, don't let them, let them change your mind
