Brotha Lynch Hung
Music career
Lynch was born in Sacramento, California and grew up in an unidentified area he calls the “Gardon Blocc” (29th and Meadowview)in his songs. He started rapping as Ice Cold in 1986.[citation needed] He joined a local gang, and rapped about living a gangster life. He established a reputation in high school as a freestyle rapper who could “execute” his opponents lyrically, prompting his half-brother Sicx to dub him “Brotha Lynch Hung”.
He described his style as “I’ll say what I wanna say.” He appeared on X-Raided’s first album Psycho Active in 1990. As the “Street Talk Crew” Lynch, X-Raided, and Sicx recorded Niggaz in Black (1991), according to Lynch “some of my best work”.
In 1992 Lynch signed with Cedric Singleton’s Black Market Records and recorded his first EP, 24 Deep (1993). The album reached #91 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, the first of the label’s albums to chart.
His 1995 album Season of da Siccness depicted a life of drug abuse and trafficking, promiscuity, ultraviolence, and rape, with themes of cannibalism. In 2000 he appeared in the film Now Eat. In May 2009, he signed a deal with Midwest rapper Tech N9ne’s Strange Music label.
