Exclusive: The Grand Verbalizer tells DX about X-Clan's past and future, and why it's not necessarily a bad thing that "This generation is caught up on an Electronic sound."

Sadly, very few Hip Hop acts ever make enough of an impact on the masses to warrant releasing a greatest hits collection. Thankfully, one group that did leave an indelible mark on the Rap game – and did so in just a few short years – is finally releasing their most memorable songs (along with some lesser known catalog cuts) together in one album as The Best of X-Clan.  

"Basically just to sprinkle some of the new generation with some of our efforts in the past," Brother J recently explained to HipHopDX (courtesy of Hoopla Worldwide) of his reasoning for releasing a "Best of" from his history-making group. "I think a lot of times when people ask about X-Clan, our catalog doesn’t register – whatever didn’t play on the radio when we had our heyday, as they say. We put a lot of knowledge out there."

"I think it will kind of send a [message] as far as how far we were with lyrics, even in the early ‘90s," he added about the project. "Giving away the ego and putting knowledge in place. I think that’s a serious sacrifice, and it should be recognized."
