.......................................................................................... Brother J & X-Clan Drop "The Best Of X-Clan" Today - By : Chad - December 20, 2011
 In the early 1990's hip-hop culture gave birth to the original messenger group -- X-Clan. The original 4 members were Professor X the Overseer, Brother J the Grand Verbalizer, The Architect Paradise and Sugar Shaft “The Rhythm Provider”. The group demonstrated a unique chemistry of hip-hop artistry, production and social movement development for youth and elders pressured by social injustice.
Influenced by icons like Bob Marley, Sun Ra and George Clinton, X-Clan chose the path of the messenger group. X-Clan introduced a signature sound and image reflecting the ancestors of indigenous cultures to the eldership of today. X-Clan was introduced to the music mainstream by 4th & Broadway/Island Records.
Their debut album “To the East Blackwards” became a hip-hop classic with classic cuts like "Heed The Word Of The Brother", and "Funkin' Lesson", while also opening the doors for national and worldwide music charts, video shows, magazine covers and awards in the grassroots community and the music industry. Regardless of the publicity and mainstream acceptance, X-Clan has always held true to their mission to channel intelligence and inspiration through hip-hop music.
After producing one more album with Island/Polydor, 1991's "Xodus", the group disbanded as a production team. In 1994, Brother J would plant the seeds of expansion with the Dark Sun Riders album “The Seeds of Evolution”. After the death of Sugar Shaft in 1994 and Professor X in 2006, Brother J revealed the fruits of the expansion, The X-Clan Millennium.

.......................................................................................... OG Cuicide's "Never Give Up" Album Dropping Early '12 - By : Nima - December 19, 2011
 Dubcnn regular OG Cuicide just sent the word that he will be releasing his official solo album "Never Give Up" in the 1st quarter of 2012. You've seen him on dubcnn this year with his two singles, "Never Give Up" and "Life Iz", which very well received by our visitors. Incase you missed them, catch up below:
OG Cuicide - Never Give Up (Video)
OG Cuicide - Life Iz (Video)
Incase you aren't familiar with OG Cuicide, he's what you would call a real Compton OG. Struggling to survive and overcome violence and poverty is a common image seen in movies and music about those who live in Compton. For West Coast rapper Cuicide, it’s all just a part of his life.
With no place to truly call home, he took to the streets and their offers of gang banging, robbing and hustling, but even that failed to calm him and eventually lead to an attempt at taking his own life at the young age of 22 years old.
He thankfully lived through that and woke up out of a coma with a renewed sense of determination to make it. Just two years after the life-changing brush with death that spawned his rap name, he signed his first record deal and recorded Shis debut album “Final Exit.” Since then he’s released a second album, toured across Japan, France, and Germany and taken up acting.
His new album “Never Give Up” will carry that theme and is sure to give his listeners a true glimpse at overcoming the odds. Expect more details on the album soon, including the collaboration with Lil Flip. Hit up Cuicide on Facebook and Twitter.

"Executive Suite" is set to drop on January 10th through DJBooth with additional sponsorship from KevinNottingham and TheWellVersed.

 Just recently we noted the large number of Polish followers of the Dubcnn Facebook Page and reached out to thank them for their support and readership. Following that update we were contacted by the Tricity Funk Records Team from Poland about an up-and-coming MC who hails from Poland who is looking to release his debut album early in 2012.
The 25 year old Roach has already finished recording the album - entitled "Trojmiejski Funk" ("Tricity Funk" in English) - which will contain 20 tracks over a runtime of around 70 minutes.
Music on the album is entirely composed by SherlOck, an acclaimed Polish producer, and in order to appeal to a global audience he has linked up with an array of Westcoast talent including legends King T and Kokane for the international single "LA 2 Tricity" - which we've been sent for you to check out via the link below!

Top Dawg Ent's ScHoolboy Q is one of the West Coast top prospects and as we've been reporting for weeks now is putting the finished touches on his upcoming solo album "HnC" (Habits n Contradictions).
During 2011 his team have been building his buzz by dropping the Setbacks mixtape earlier this year as well as material including the Druggys Wit Hoes video with Ab Soul, a record with Jay Rock produced by Willie B called Can't Do and then Options produced by THC.
In the last few months alone he has dropped off the stellar Alchemist produced My Homie and then the follow up record to Druggys Wit Hoes entitled Druggys With Hoes Again once again alongside Ab-Soul and over production from Nez & Rio and mixed by Ali.
Late last month we dropped off a Sounwave produced record called There He Go and another leak off the new project, "My Hatin' Joint before the video for the record Sacrilegious.
Today we are dropping off the artwork of the album cover for "HnC" (Habits n Contradictions) which you can enlarge by clicking the main news image - this is one cover not to be missed!
Stay tuned to Dubcnn for more from Schoolboy Q and the TDE camp in the build up to the release of "HnC."Discuss This Topic
