Brotha Lynch Hung

by John Bush A versatile producer as well as an excellent solo rapper in his own right, Brotha Lynch Hung was born Kevin Mann in Sacramento. He hooked up with Master P for a 1993 EP named 24 Deep, but then went out on his own for his debut solo album, 1995s Season of da Siccness. Mann worked on production for Master Ps Im Bout It, E-40s Southwest Riders, and Mr. Serv-Ons Life Insurance before turning back to his own career. Given a big push by Master Ps breakout success in the middle of 1997, Brotha Lynch Hungs sophomore album, Loaded, followed in 1997. EBK4 followed in 2000 and both Blocc Movement and Virus appeared the next summer. 2002 was less busy, with Appearances: Book 1 being released in the spring and the Plague DVD following it that summer.
