Description

Fantastic Negrito caught up with Rob Herrera at Arroyo Seco Weekend in Pasadena to talk about his new album ‘Please Don’t Be Dead.

If you all knew about Fantastic Negrito was that he won NPR’s first Tiny Desk Contest in 2015, you might think he had lived a charmed life-and in a way he has, but not because of that. Xavier Dphrepaulezz’s life is charmed by the fact that he’s still living it. He’s fought his way through more psychic, physical and existential adversity than any five people could expect to encounter, all of which amounted to bad timing in one way or another. Negrito’s music is rooted in the blues, though he’s not exactly a blues artist. Groove is what he’s really about on Please Don’t Be Dead. Opener Plastic Hamburgers is big and blowsy thanks to a bombastic guitar riff, and the sultry bassline on Bad Guy Necessity practically exerts its own gravitational pull, with snaky guitar licks and little bursts of organ trailing in its wake while Negrito sings in an amped-up, growly way.

Please Don't Be Dead is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Fantastic Negrito. The album was released on June 15, 2018. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album at the 61st Grammy Awards.

2017 Grammy winner for Best Contemporary Blues album, Fantastic Negrito continues to dig deeper than deep to tell his stories from the streets of Oakland (and America) while stretching the boundaries of the blues on his new Cooking Vinyl release Please Don’t Be Dead, out June 15th.

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. His 2016 album The Last Days of Oakland won a Grammy award for Best Contemporary Blues Album at the 60th Grammy Awards. In 2019, his album Please Don't Be Dead won the same category for the 61st Grammy Awards.

Please Don’t Be Dead is an album by Fantastic Negrito. The album will be released on June 15, 2018. Bay Area-based singer/songwriter Xavier Dphrepaulezz rebooted his career in the 2010s by adopting the name Fantastic Negrito and pioneering a blues, hip-hop, rock, folk, and funk hybrid on his 2016 album, The Last Days of Oakland. The album didn’t gain much traction and Dphrepaulezz soon found himself embroiled in record label battles, all of which paled when compared to the serious car accident he suffered in 2000. He spent four weeks in a coma, and once he got out of it, he found his hands were damaged considerably. He spent time in intensive rehab, then went back to Oakland in 2008. Once back in Oakland, Dphrepaulezz left music behind for family and home, eventually returning to performing after the birth of his son. Newly inspired, he found himself drawn to the blues.
