Brotha Lynch Hung facts for kids

Kevin Danell Mann (born January 10, 1969 ) better known by his stage name Brotha Lynch Hung, is an American rapper, songwriter and record producer from Sacramento, California who has been described as "the creator of horrorcore rap." He is also a former 24th Street Garden Blocc Crip gang member, which is a Crip-affiliated street gang based in Meadowview, Sacramento.

Early life

Mann grew up in Sacramento. He became a fan of East Coast rappers such as Rakim and Slick Rick. He started rapping at the age of 13. He became a member of the 24 Street Garden Blocc Crips by age 16 during the 1980s. He was once shot in the side after trying to break up a confrontation between a Crip and a Blood at a house party; the bullet was never removed.

Career

Musical style

Although often credited as being a major pioneer and even the main creator of the horrorcore rap genre, Mann himself has claimed that his style is less literally “horrorcore” and instead falls more directly under his own distinct category or sub-category of rap, which specifically emphasizes (usually) graphic violence.

1993-2002: Black Market Records

In 1993 Black Market Records released Mann's first EP, 24 Deep. followed by an album every year or two: Season of da Siccness in 1995, Loaded in 1997, EBK4 and the soundtrack to the horror comedy film Now Eat in 2000, The Virus in 2001, and three compilations, Appearances: Book 1, Remains: Book II, and Book III, in 2002.

Brother Lynch Hung appeared on No Limit Records' May 1997 release I'm Bout It. Brother Lynch Hung wrote, produced, and performed the song "Situation On Dirty."

24 Deep reached No. 91 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and Season of da Siccness reached No. 26.

2003-2008

Lynch had three releases on different record labels during this time period. He released Lynch by Inch: ... Note in June 2003 under Siccmade Music.
