Return of the X-Clan: Tour and Album Announced

The legendary hip hop crew known as X-Clan has announced they are gearing up for a 2 month tour, opening for Jurassic 5. The 2 month tour launches on July 18 in Seattle, WA and hits key major markets across the U.S. before wrapping up in Las Vegas, NV on September 13. "I knew from the time I stepped into the booth with Charlie 2na that it was destiny for the X Clan and Jurassic 5 to come together," says X-Clan's Brother J. "If you study Hip Hop you wonder who carries the torch of the legendary Hip Hop crews, when you see the J-5 show the realization is clear. It is an honor to travel with a group that has maintained quality with consistency from the underground to major label status." In addition to the tour, X-Clan has announced that they will be dropping their first studio album in years this October. The album is titled Return From Mecca and the group promises will feature hits for a new generation of X-Clan fans, as well as satisfy the old school heads who grew up on joints like “Funkin' Lesson," "Heed The Word of the Brother" and "Raise The Flag".
