X-Clan Announces New Album, Features Bun B
December 12th, 2008

Hip Hop veterans, X-Clan, are trying to wave the flag for real Hip Hop, as they announced their second reunion album, Mainstream Outlawz will be released next month.

X-Clan founding member Brother J explained that the album is designed to show the Hip Hop community that the way to battle the “Hip-Hop is Dead” negativity is to keep making good music.

He said, "We urge our listeners to stop complaining and start listening, because Hip Hop is alive and well. It's time for the underground to take the spotlight."

Last year, X-Clan reunited from an almost 15 year hiatus to put out the album Return to Mecca [click to read]. The album was described by the Los Angeles Times as "a rare rap Return well worth the wait."

This year Mainstream Outlawz was built over a year long process that included collaborations with Bun B [click to read], Medusa, and Supernatural.

Brother J states the motivation for the collaborations was to work with artists who wanted to keep making good music.

"If you don't take the time to learn the full spectrum of Hip Hop, you can't keep complaining that the game is tainted and off track. There are enough active artists out here that are keeping it real in the name of music and not fad.”

“There are some independent groups that deserve respect for their grind and we are one of them," Brother J said.

The debut track of the album called "Down By Law" can be heard online at X-Clan’s MySpace page. Mainstream Outlawz is set for a January 27th, 2009 release through Suburban Noize Records.
