The project of Oakland, California musician Xavier Dphrepaulezz, Fantastic Negrito has had a massive year since its Tiny Desk win — opening for Chris Cornell on his European and upcoming North American tour, guest-starring on Fox’s hit show Empire, and writing a full-length album, Last Days Of Oakland, which comes out June 3 on his label Blackball Universe.
Playing his Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-45ME, watch Dphrepaulezz perform three songs off his new album, “Rant Rushmore,” “Lost in a Crowd,” and “About A Bird.”
