His storytelling and dynamic lyricism power up this arresting banger. Right out of the gate, he recounts how a romance unfurls between “a fan of underground rappers” and “one in particular who was locked up doing time.”An ominous piano loop wraps around the track’s tense beat as X-Raided warns, “Guess sometimes you have to fail to learn a cautionary tale.” It culminates on a chant during the chorus, “He had to get up, get out, get out.”
Life tests this particular love to a breaking point, but you’ll need to listen in order to find out what happens…
The visual energizes the story on-screen. It explores the ups and downs of the relationship in question, literally bringing the lyrics to life in vivid fashion. It concludes with a climactic moment of breaking free.
“The Sunken Place” only sets the stage for more to come from X-Raided.

Most recently, X-Raided shined on “Knock” from Tech N9ne’s BLISS alongside an a-list cohort, including Conway The Machine and Joyner Lucas.

Taking flight, the single “Stratus Fear” [with Tech N9ne] gathered 1.8 million Spotify streams and 414K YouTube views on the cinematic music video.
Meanwhile, he landed major looks from the likes of New York Post, Hunnypot, and TMZ, among others. The latter professed, “X-Raided wants his experiences steer past, current and future inmates in a better direction.” Plus, V13 welcomed him as its cover star in an extensive story as well.
