This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I will review X-Raided - Xorcist.
Xorcist was recorded over the phone while X-Raided waiting awaiting his murder trial in the Sacramento County Jail from 1994 to 1996. He was in jail for the murder of community activist Patricia Harris. Xorcist was his most highly controversial album of 1996 with a quote from Playboy Magazine stating: “Talk about determination.” This album is highly sought after by X-Raided fans alike. The vocals are not up to high quality as all his other albums are as the vocal quality is rather subpar. But don’t let that deter you from buying this album! Xorcist is a Sacramento rap classic that is quite memorable due to the quality of its sound. Memorable hits from Xorcist are Deuce Five To Life, I Ain’t Dead Yet, Unfukwitable, Wit A Mask On, Liquor, Niggaz, & Triggaz, Recognize. Done Deal is another one.
Willie Charles (LA Chill) was the executive producer responsible for acting as the sole engineer and producer along with Ced Singleton while working on the Xorcist album timespan of 1994 to 1996. Willie Charles (LA Chill) and Ced Singleton both acted as producers for the Xorcist album. Willie Charles was looking after X-Raided while working on the Xorcist album. That’s how deeply involved with Xorcist he was! LA Chill’s name is all over the Xorcist album for that very reason.
Xorcist was recorded from the timespan of 1994 to 1996. Xorcist was recorded on a 16 track reel to reel. The vocals were over the phone live in Sacramento County Jail. At first Xorcist was released on cassette only and then Xorcist was released on CD in 1996.
While working on the Xorcist album, Willie Charles was influenced by psychedelic rock, horrorcore, siccness, and gangsta rap sounds. He was on the psychedelic tip. Willie Charles (LA Chill) is the sole creator of those eerie sounds that you hear when listening to the X-Raided - Xorcist album. He is the originator and creator of those high pitched eerie sounds.
Liquor, Niggaz, & Triggaz is the most eerie track on the whole album! Those high pitched eerie sounds you hear on Liquor, Niggaz, & Triggaz are the work of LA Chill. Willie Charles (LA Chill) is the sole creator of those eerie sounds that you hear on this track. Liquor, Niggaz, & Triggaz has an eerie horrorcore vibe. Willie Charles, Brotha Lynch Hung, and the Black Market Records production crew were high during the of recording this track.
That’s why you hear “Cause I don't love you hoes, I don't love you niggas All I'm givin a fuck is about my liquor and my triggas”. Brotha Lynch Hung was high whilst recording this track. The Black Market Records production crew stayed high at times.
LA Chill produced Done Deal with female rapper Da Misses all over this track. That’s why you hear those high pitched eerie sounds on Done Deal. Da Misses really shined on here and the 5 tracks she featured on this album. Done Deal is a perfect example of a G-Funk track as Done Deal is a perfect G-Funk track. Da Misses vents about shadiness of society on Done Deal.
For those who didn’t know, Ced Singleton released the X-Raided - Xorcist album without the permission of Willie Charles and copyrighted the Xorcist album without no contract. (That is a federal offense!) William Larcell Charles (LA Chill) did not give Ced Singleton permission to release the Xorcist album nor did he give Black Market Records any distribution rights either for retail relate of this particular album to be released.
Ced Singleton also “claims” he published Xorcist. The truth is Ced Singleton none of the songs and not all of them. Both X-Raided (Anarae V. Brown) and Ced Singleton cheated Willie Charles out of both mechanical royalties and publishing royalties for the Xorcist album because they wanted the money for themselves. Ced Singleton and X-Raided never paid Willie Charles (LA Chill) mechanical royalties and publishing royalties for the 1996 X-Raided - Xorcist album ever. Despite that, Willie Charles and X-Raided had split the publishing royalties for the 1996 Xorcist album. They never signed no agreements or contracts for the Xorcist album at the time. Both X-Raided and Ced Singleton still owe William Larcell Charles (LA Chill) mechanical royalties and publishing royalties for the 1996 X-Raided - Xorcist album.
William Larcell Charles lawfully owns the full copyright to the X-Raided - Xorcist album as he owns the Xorcist reel to reels to this day for which he clearly maintains. He rightfully owns full copyright to the X-Raided - Xorcist album. X-Raided owns his lyrics regardless of the copyrights involved for this case.
I rate this album, Xorcist, 5/5*****!
