The Infamous X-Mann - History In The Making

The Infamous X-Mann - History In The Making
X-Mann is a rapper from the northside of Houston, TX. This is his sophomore effort and it is the follow up to "The Man Behind The Madness." X-Mann was also a late member of the infamous Trinity Garden Cartel. History In The Making was released on his own label, X-Werks Entertainment in 2005. Production is provided by the great Mike B. The beats are an ensemble of legit tracks which are laced with that southern funk. The samples and hooks are all well used and they certainly carry that H-Town sound. Lyrics are well written but can be bland at times. X-Mann delivers his raw style with an overwhelming force and at times, comes off as overly repetitive. Featuring on the album is OG Style, Cory Mo, 55, JD, P-Dot, Humpdog, Paul Revere, Camillion, A-Dog, Chill, Snake, J-Ram, Lil' Blue, Lil' O and Hawk of the Screwed Up Click. Overall it is a decent record and one that tries to live up to its' name but it happens to fall just a tad bit short.

The Infamous X-Mann - The Man Behind The Madness

The Infamous X-Mann - The Man Behind The Madness
The Infamous X-Mann is a rapper from the northside of Houston, TX. He first started in 1995, when he joined the Trinity Garden Cartel. Back then he was known as X Da Hitman. He is also the founder of X-Werks Entertainment. X-Mann went on to release two albums with the group, TGC. This is his debut solo album and it was released in 1998 on X-Werks Entertainment. Production was done by Andre Foster and KG of the O.G.C. The beats are straight up Texas funk and contain nothing but solid bass lines and twangy synths. X was always known for his hard lyrics and street style. He certainly lives up to that reputation on this one. Featuring on the album is KG, K.I.D. of DSMC, Mr. Marl, Corey Davis and Ms. Lashea Crawford. This is another solid album from the former member of The Cartel. The raw force delivery and the variety of material makes this record very overwhelming from start to finish.
