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 Meadowview Bloods' 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]
