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.

A LETTER TO FEAR
Fantastic Negrito Lyrics

I go everywhere
I don't care what ya say to me
I am not afraid
But I get little nervous sometimes
I know anything can happen
Anywhere, anytime
I'm not terrified
But I get a little worried sometimes

Whatever you do to me
I will carry on
Whatever you say to me
I will carry on
I got friends, and they've got friends too
We will carry on
You keep trying to shut us down
We will carry on

Sunday morning
Another mass shooting for your heads
Semi automatic weapon dreams
The force smashes through the flesh
People in a daze
Shopping for their happiness
Hope will never die (try)
People, oh no no, we gotta keep on trying

Whatever you do to me
I will carry on
Whatever you say to me
I will carry on
I got friends, and they got friends too (they got friends too)
We will carry on
You keep tryin' to shut us down
We will carry on

Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on to the love!

Whatever you do to me, whatever
I will carry on
Whatever you say to me, you can put me down
I will carry on
I got friends, and they got friends too
Yes, they got friends too
We will carry on
You keep tryin' to shut us down, I got good friends
We will carry on
