### **UNDERGROUND RAP ICON X-RAIDED UNLEASHES NEW SINGLE “NO CONVERSATIONS” FEATURING ELLIS PRESCOTT OUT NOW**

#### **LISTEN **󠀁[**HERE**](https://ingrv.es/no-conversations-7qm-g)󠁿

**(March 22, 2024)** – Back with more heat, underground rap phenomenon, and Sacramento
native **X-Raided** serves up a new single entitled **“No Conversations”** featuring**
Ellis Prescott** out now via **Strange Music**. Stream **“No Conversations” **[**HERE**](https://ingrv.es/no-conversations-7qm-g).

Anchored by a thick bass line, head-nodding beat, and transfixing synth loop, the
track flaunts **X-Raided**’s elite and otherworldly lyricism. His brash cadence 
hits hard as he warns, _“I’m giving ‘em no conversations_,_”_ while Seattle singer
and songwriter **Ellis Prescott** laces the song with an ethereal and entrancing
melody. The momentum culminates on the chant, _“That was then, this is now, we gonna
win, this is how_._”_

About the song, **X-Raided** remarked, _“I came across a quote that resonated with
me. It said, ‘If your phone doesn’t ring when you’re struggling, don’t pick it up
when you’re winning.’ As I’ve progressed through my life, culminating with signing
to Strange Music, I’ve noticed that a lot of fair-weather friends popped back up
with unsolicited input and unstated desires that weren’t being communicated prior
to a few milestones that I reached publicly. People who I’d tried to help or who
I’d shared my vision with and thought I was wrong were super gung-ho to participate
in my journey all of a sudden. _

_“It’s flattering at first. So, you don’t notice yourself allowing them access to
you until one day you look up and there are all these people celebrating victories
that they didn’t help you achieve. I like to say that they don’t show up for the
games in the rain and mud. but they want to stand next to you popping champagne 
and taking pictures when the confetti’s falling.”_

He admits, _“It made me sad for a while until I realized that it was necessary to
be less accessible. I’ve heard it said that ‘everyone can’t go,’ and that’s something
I’ve had to accept lately. I have plenty of positive relationships to focus on with
my family, my business partners and industry contacts, my teammates and the fans.
Outside of that, I’m having ‘No Conversations’.”_

It lands in the wake of the fan favorite **“The Sunken Place**.**” **The latter 
has racked up just shy of 100K YouTube views on the music video. Meanwhile, the 
song landed looks from [_Music Existence_](https://musicexistence.com/blog/2024/02/28/underground-rap-icon-x-raided-returns-with-new-single-music-video-the-sunken-place/),
