"The Unforgiven: Volume I" is X-Raided's third release

through Black Market Records, and is easily his best effort

to date, and possibly Black Market's best release to date as

X-Raided burst onto the music scene in 1992 with his debut

and Northern California classic album, "Psycho Active".

Just months before the release of his debut, Anarae,

"X-Raided" Brown was arrested along with four others and

charged with first degree gang-related murder.  It was

discovered that the lyrics on his debut contained mirror

images of the crime he was suspected to have committed, and

this caused national media coverage of X-Raided's then

impending trial.  The Source Magazine, Yo MTV Raps, and many

other respected hip hop institutions reported on his

situation

During all of the drama, X-Raided remained incarcerated at

the Sacramento County Jail.  It was during that time that

X-Raided recorded his sophmore album, "Xorcist" (Black

Market Records 1996), over the telephone.  That album

garnered even more attention and it was covered in various

magazines including Playboy (September 1996).  Months after

the release of "Xorcist", X-Raided was convicted of first

degree murder and sentenced to 31 years in prison.Many

believed his career to be over, but X-Raided kept his name

alive penning an entire song, "Deadly Game", and co writing

two others, "Boo Yow" and ".357", with childhood friend C-BO

for his 1998 AWOL Records release, "Till My Casket Drops".

Now X-Raided returns with "The Unforgiven: Volue I", minus

the phone recorded vocals.  Vibe Magazine (August 1998)

reported, "The Unforgiven is culled from 65 tracks recorded

onto a DAT, with beats added afterwards at a studio".

According to Jerry Smith, Community Resources Manager as

Salinas State Prison, "It's a mystery how such vocal

sessions could take place.   Inmates are not allowed to have

tape recorders." Despite adverse circumstances, X-Raided

managed to obtain clear and legitimate vocals.  The resul is

"The unforgiven:  Volume I", sure to be hailed as one of the

best West Coast albums ever written.   X-Raided says, "With

2Pac gone, there is no one stepping up to represent the West

Coast that has the lyrical skills, plus the intrigue to

withstand the scrutiny that comes with being the best in his

region.  Now that I have real vocals, I am claiming the

throne that was vacated by the death of Makaveli.  Cali is

mine and I am demanding my place at the top of the list of

West Coast MC's".  When asked about his case, X-Raided

stated, "I was railroaded, straight up.  But there is

nothing I can do now except to make as much noise as I can,

and hip hop is my medium, my podium.   I gotta make some

Johnny Cochran money so I can get up out of hell.The

Unforgiven:  Volume I" showcases the production of newcomers

DJ Shareel, The Technician, and R.A.W., collectively known

as Mad Man Muzik.  The album also features two new lyrical

talents, Dott Dogg and Hanifah.

let it begin

Rabid Neurosis was established in 1995 and since 1996 we have

been dedicated to bringing the highest possible quality to

the mp3 community.  It is rumored that we only rip rap, hip

hop, and r&b, well, this is simply a rumor, granted that

this type of music is the mainstream at the moment, so of

course a lot of this genre is going to get done, but we do

other types of music (rock, ska, punk, techno, bootlegs, pop,

etc) as well.  Currently we are not looking for any members

unless you have some exceptional background in either the mp3

warez or iso scene and/or have something exceptional to offer

to the group (pre-release ripper, t3/linux/30gb+ us/euro Site

Op, or hardware supplier) if you fall into that category drop

by #rns on efnet and talk to one of the seniors about joining

or mail the president Al Capone (Capone@rns.org) note: we are

NOT seeking any artists or couriers period.

[Other News]

Zero Music Inc. is RNS's official couriers (irc/ext ftp). The

reason for doing this is that it was felt by us, that RNS

should be focusing on releasing and not the mass distribution

of our music, they will handle the xdcc's and ftp couriering

to sites outside of RNS to benefit those not within the group
