    Fantastic Negrito is a man’s truth told in the form of black roots music. Each song is a real story about a musician from Oakland who experienced the highs of a million dollar record deal, the lows of a near fatal car accident that put him in a four-week coma, and is now in the phase of rebirth despite his playing hand being mangled. Negrito’s music emphasizes rawness and space. Slide guitar, drums, piano. Rather than update the Delta Blues, Fantastic Negrito leaves the original sounds of Lead Belly and Skip James intact, building bridges to a modern sound with loops and samples of his own live instruments. But the primary element that drives Fantastic Negrito’s music is uncut realness and zero concern for “pop” anything.

      Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz (born January 20, 1968), better known by his stage name Fantastic Negrito, is an American singer-songwriter whose music spans blues, R&B, and roots music---Dphrepaulezz was born in western Massachusetts, the eighth of fifteen children. His father was a deeply religious Somali Muslim who, Dphrepaulezz recalls, had "a lot of rules" for his children. Dphrepaulezz and his family relocated to Oakland, California, when he was 12 years old. He began selling drugs as a teenager in Oakland, telling the Guardian, "We were all selling drugs, man. We all carried pistols. There was a crack epidemic. [....] I was the kind of kid who would sell fake weed [...]. Sometimes I would use tea."He became inspired to teach himself how to play music after listening to Prince's album Dirty Mind and hearing that Prince was a self-taught musician. He learned to play music by sneaking into music classrooms at the University of California Berkeley despite not being a student there

    Lost in a crowd
    You feel your thoughts out loud
    Lost in the wilderness of the sound
    Get through the day, don't drown
    Life it goes fast, youth is gone
    Feeling some loss
    Come on, grieve, move on
    Stuck in the shadows of a life
    That you tried to leave behind
    Games people play
    Slave through the year for a holiday
    Stuck in a room for too long
    Waiting to hear your favorite song
    Wait! Panic, Freak out
    I'm out on a ledge
    Shapeless expressions, lame dead
    Eat till you're fat, eat till you're dumb
    Spend all that money until you come
    Well you travel, and we travel
    Trying to find it
    I know that neither one of us
    No, neither one of us can survive it
    No the good Lord
    We travel and we travel
    Trying to find it
    We're just people, lonely people, you and I
    Come on
    Get yourself
    Get yourself
    Get yourself
    Stand in line, wait for your turn, don't you cry
    Here they make the best dream pie
    You took their money, now you die
    Feelings of rage, broken bones
    Lost in a crowd
    Now you're on your own
    This is your life, now you're gone
    There's no tomorrow
    It's here, it's on
    Well we travel, and we travel,
    Trying to find it
    I know that neither one of us
    No, neither one of us can survive it
    Good, good, good Lord
    We travel, oh we travel
    Trying to find it
    We're just people, lonely people, you and I
    We're just people, lonely people, you and I
    I tell you
    We're just people, lonely people, you and I
