From a million dollar record deal to a near fatal car accident to living a somewhat quiet family life to a career resurgence beginning with winning the inaugural NPR Tiny Desk Contest and eventually 3 Grammy® Awards, Fantastic Negrito (Xavier Dphrepaulezz) continues to push genre boundaries and innovate freely as an artist. For Fantastic Negrito and Storefront Records, 2024 kicks off with a thumping, angst filled track of self reflection, self destruction, and debauchery. “I’m Sorry“ had been sitting on a hard drive for the last 20 years and recently, Fantastic Negrito decided to revisit the track and give it new life. Featuring distinct verses from Slimkid3, Fatlip, IMANI, and Fantastic Negrito, the track perfectly captures the energy of the early 2000s underground scene with a ‘90s Hip Hop twist. Also featured on the track is Masa Kohama (Exile, Warren G, Nate Dogg) on guitar, (Cornelius “Corny” Mims (Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J) on bass and Ric Alexander (Tony Toni Ton’e, Ledisi) on saxophone.
