Brotha Lynch Hung

Kevin Mann (born January 10, 1969), better known by his stage name Brotha Lynch Hung, is an American rapper, songwriter and record producer from Sacramento, California who was described in 2005 as "the creator of horrorcore rap".

The ripgut genre itself reportedly stemmed from his love of meat, but this lyrical style is also sometimes considered to be either associated with or connected to the common thoughts and feelings occasionally experienced during manic and/or violent states of mind brought on by the use of certain illicit drugs such as phencyclidine (PCP).

[citation needed] Mann appeared on several No Limit Records 1997 releases such as West Coast Bad Boyz II, I'm Bout It, and Mr. Serv-On's Life Insurance.

After Mann released his second LP, Loaded, he began a long-standing feud with label head Cedric Singleton over the rights to his back catalog.

[9] After leaving Strange Music, Mann released several independent EPs and a collaboration album with Ren Da Heatmonsta titled Premeditated (2017).

In 2023, Mann released a compilation album titled Choice Kuttz: Da Best of Brotha Lynch Hung, marking his return to the hip-hop scene.
