'Template:Unreferenced Brotha Lynch Hung (born Kevin Mann) is a rapper from Sacramento, CA. His lyrics are characterized by a no-holds-barred approach to subject matter, and the line between life and lyric becomes blurred as he launches into tales of feeding human meat to his children, etc. Lynch worked with Master P and came out with the 1993 album 24 Deep, which had some to do with what his struggles were like being affiliated with a local street gang in Sacramento's Garden Blocc. Lynch has also helped Master P with albums like I'm Bout It]], E-40's Southwest Riders and Mr. Serv-On's Life Insurance. To this day, some listeners may interpret 24 Deep to be part of the definition of what his music means, but Lynch is adamant in interviews and online forums that it is not.
When Lynch released his second album Season of Da Siccness in 1995 it proved to be the one of the most gruesome and mysogynistic Gangsta Rap albums ever released, gra phically chronicling a life defined by drug use and sale, promiscuity, ultra-violence, rape, infanticide, and supposed cannibalism. Lynch's lyrics are described as sicc -- having the same meaning as the word sick but utilizing the double "C" which is characteristic of local crip gangsters (loccs) in Sacramento, CA and other parts of California. Lynch has stated in his song "24 Gone" that he himself is a Crip, residing in Crip areas of Sacramento has had an influence on his lyrics. He has since released Loaded in 1997. The next Lynch album was released in 2000 called EBK4 after a dispute with Black Market Records. The label restricted his creativity by featuring artists on the album against Lynch's will. Lynch asked his fans not to buy the album. He said "I don't care how they get it just don't buy it or steal it". Brotha Lynch released Now Eat in 2000, which holds the same name as the film in which he starred, which features a bloodthirsty and cannibalistic Lynch who goes on a rampage, killing and eating many people.
Lynch then released Blocc Movement and Virus in 2001, Appearances: Book 1 in 2002, and in that same summer of 2002 he released his first DVD, Plague (dvd). Lynch's newer work includes Lynch by Inch: Suicide Note and Uthanizm in 2003, and the Now Eat DVD in 2000. In Late 2006, he is scheduled to release an album entitled Liquor Sicc".
