Anerae Veshaughn Brown, better known as X-Raided, is an American
rapper, and Garden Blocc Crip gang member.
The Initiation, was released in early 2001, and was the culmination of X-Raided’s
attempts at forming his own record label back in 1999, Mad Man, with the help of
his mother, Shirley “Jaz” Brown. Since the release of that album, X-Raided
has since created another label called Bloc Star in 2005. He was the
first artist to leave Madman Records in 2005. It is now run
by Shirley “Jaz” Brown and Big No Love.
Before the murder, Jaz Brown was a clerk at the Sacramento County Courthouse,
but she quit when X-Raided became a famous defendant in the corridors. By June
2000, Jaz Brown had a new title, CEO of Madman Records, the new label
for X-Raided and other local Sacramento rappers.
