X-Clan Returns from Mecca

MOVEMENT MARKETING

With the tragic passing of hip-hop cultural leader Professor X in March 2006, the message of X-Clan and the Black- watch Movement is being carried forward by his protégé, Brother J, X-Clan’s co-founder and spokesman.

Led by Brother J, the Clan’s founder and original lead MC, X-Clan are ready again to move your mind, body and spirit like back in the day, as one of the most powerful and in- fluential hip hop crews Hiphop has ever witnessed, have returned after nearly a decade-long hiatus. Moving forward, Brother J, Ultraman Ra Hanna, ACL, DJ FatJack, Kumu M. Haynes, Master China and Grand Arkutect Paradise will carry forward the message into the next generation of X-Clan with the release of Return From Mecca, which will be released on 10-31-06 and finds the group reforming their groundbreaking tradition of displaying ancestral wisdom, culture and a signa- ture lyrical style that appeals to all generations of Hip-Hop. X-Clan’s new LP also marks the group’s debut for hip-hop and underground tastemakers Suburban Noize Records.
