Psycho Active is the debut solo album by American rapper X-Raided, released April 16, 1992 through Blackmarket Records. Before the album's release, X-Raided and four other individuals, all Crips, were arrested by the Sacramento Police Department for the killing of Patricia Harris, the mother of two MeadowviewBloods' members during a home invasion. Police maintained that the boys intended reprisal against Harris' sons for the killing of two Crips.[1] The weapon that was used to kill Harris was never found, and X-Raided maintains that he is innocent.[2] During the trial, the prosecution cited lyrics from Psycho Active as evidence, and X-Raided was sentenced to 31 years in prison.[3] He was released on parole on September 14, 2018 after serving 26 years in prison.[4]
Steve "Flash" Juon gave the album an overall score of 7.5 in a retrospective review for RapReviews, giving the album's music a score of 8 and X-Raided's lyrics 7. Juon wrote, "What X-Raided has going for him here is a sick selection of samples ranging from Marvin Gaye to Funkadelic to Grover Washington Jr. The sheer volume of clearances required would probably make it impossible to reissue today but makes for a highly enjoyable listen from start to finish. [Psycho Active is] an example of an early 1990s underground rap album with great production, decent yet unremarkable boasting, and a general lack of marketability except to hardcore Cali rap fans of the time."[5]
