A Northern California rapper who spent 26 years behind bars for murder is a changed man after being released, and in an incredible turn of events, says Lyle and Erik Menendez were part of an effort to help him see the light and help get him out of lock up.
X-Raided , aka Anerae Brown, was sentenced to 31 years to life for the murder that was committed during a home raid while he was a member of the Crips street gang. X-Raided served his sentence at the Richard J. While serving time, he developed a relationship with the Menendez brothers, and they helped mentor X-Raided while he worked on his rehabilitation. In fact, Erik Menendez wrote a letter of support for X-Raided in , in hopes of scoring him an early release from prison.
The Blast has obtained a copy of the letter, see below. The letter apparently had an impact, and a couple years later X-Raided was released on parole in September Prosecutors also played the jury the graphic lyrics of an X-Raided song.
I meant them harm. And that is something I have shame for; remorse and repentance. While behind bars, X-Raided still managed to make 12 albums, usually rapping through a payphone. He served a total of 26 years and was recently paroled to a halfway house in Oakland. I thought that was perfectly logical. Would I be willing to get shot and killed? Brown apologized to the Harris family in a video posted on Instagram and also had the chance to say he was sorry to some family members in person during his parole hearing.
Brown just released his new album entitled The Execution of X-Raided , which features the demise of his X-Raided persona. He said his music will reflect a new positive message and his determination to achieve redemption. And what does he say to fans who might insist they only want to hear the old songs about violence?
