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.

I got fired because I'm a woman

I got fired for being late

Ooh, looks like nobody's coming
To my party, no no no no no no no no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fantastic Negrito's song "Transgender Biscuits" represent a call for unity and change in the face of discriminatory and unjust treatment. The repeated refrain of "change, change, change, change" encourages people to come together and stand up for their rights, regardless of their identities. The verses are a series of examples of people getting fired for various reasons, including race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and appearance. The singer uses humor and irony to point out the absurdity of these prejudices and emphasize the need for solidarity. The final lines about the Oakland rain falling on the singer's head suggest a need for cleansing and renewal, symbolizing a fresh start and hope for a better future.


The song's title is a play on words, combining the idea of transgender identity with a colloquial term for "biscuits" (a type of bread). This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the fluidity of identity and the diversity of human experiences.
