History

Mann grew up as a lonely, reclusive child, listening to Hot 97 and rappers such as Rakim and Slick Rick, also a chance of his semi-dark lyrics, but nobody can judge and completely understand his life.[5] He started rapping at the age of 11.[6]

Mann appeared on and produced 11 of the 12 tracks on X-Raided's 1992 debut album Psycho Active. He was also featured on the song "Ho's E Schemin Too" as well as a skit with his brother Sicx on KRD's album Sac-Town Funk. Performing as the Street Talk Crew, Brotha Lynch Hung, X-Raided, and Sicx released the cassette Niggaz In Black in 1991. It is regarded by Mann as "some of my best work."[6]

His album, Season of da Siccness, was released in 1995.[4][9]

In September 1996, Joseph Edward Gallegos, an 18-year-old Colorado man, listened to Brotha Lynch Hung's song "Locc 2 da Brain" repeatedly before fatally shooting three of his friends. Gallegos was himself subsequently killed in a police shootout. Although Gallegos' motive was determined to be depression over a breakup with his girlfriend, his friends and minister suggested that the music played a role in the killings.[10][11]

In May 2009, Mann signed a deal with Midwest rapper Tech N9ne's Strange Music label.[12] In March 2010, he released his Strange Music debut, Dinner and a Movie, selling around 7,000 copies during its first week. His second Strange album, Coathanga Strangla, was released a year later in April 2011.
