via the press release

Warning: This may be the most disturbing piece of music ever…

(Los Angeles, CA) – Last year, Tech N9ne's indie powerhouse Strange Music welcomed BROTHA LYNCH HUNG into its growing family. On March 23, 2010, the King of Sacramento unveils the full-length album fans have been waiting for since 2003's Lynch by Inch.

Dinner and A Movie, the first of three concept albums BROTHA LYNCH HUNG will release via Strange Music, follows the life of a serial killer that's slaying rappers in the game. Building on his respect for scary cinemateurs like Rob Zombie and Wes Craven, BROTHA LYNCH HUNG theatrically showcases his own ability to switch on and off his double personality: regular guy by day, serial killer by night.

BROTHA LYNCH HUNG, aided by director Dan Gedman of Liquid 9 and :31, will present nine videos chronicling this madman's journey through all three albums. The first video, "Meat," introduces the troubled main character that eventually turns to the dark side. "I Plotted (My Next Murder)" will be posted online next, in which you witness the central character embrace his alter ego: the serial killing, mask-wearing Coat Hanga Strangla. By the time the third video, "Colostomy Bag," arrives, it becomes evident that the power of killing has seduced the rapper and behind the mask is where he wants to be.

Crafting three records in the form of three acts that comprise an audio drama, BROTHA LYNCH HUNG goes where no other rapper has gone before. In his online theater production, he pays homage to American Psycho – the sexuality of violence and the thrills of living a double life.

"This is the first time this has ever been done," assures Gedman. "We are visually bringing this character to life, and then Lynch is going to write the next two albums. It's an interactive process. Now he has to lyrically revisit the character and story, knowing what it all looks like."

Like each member of the Strange Music label, BROTHA LYNCH HUNG lives by a similarly intense, do-or-die, work ethic. Almost every year since his 1993 debut, 24 Deep, he has released a CD, and his total CD sales top 1.4 million. Impressive feats considering he has never been affiliated with a major label.

Sacramento's Brotha Lynch Hung signs with Strange Music

When Dave Weiner, Vice President of Strange Music West, first heard BROTHA LYNCH HUNG's certified Gold classic Season of da Siccness (1995), he was blown away. The man responsible for signing Master P to Priority Records in the mid-'90s, as well as orchestrating the joint venture that Tech N9ne and Strange Music entered into with JCOR, now has the honor of bringing BROTHA LYNCH to the Strange Music family.

Strange Music is already one of the most successful independent music labels in the world - in 2008, its flagship artist, Tech N9ne, SoundScanned over one million units, making him one of the most successful independent Hip-Hop artists in history.

LYNCH and Tech N9ne are far from strangers. LYNCH is familiar to Tech fans due to his standout verse on "My World" from Tech's Everready album (2006); Tech appeared on "187 on a Hook" from LYNCH's Blocc Movement (2001).

"There's an incredible synergy," states Weiner. "Every Tech fan knows that verse ["My World"] and is wondering what's going on with LYNCH." Fans need wonder no more, as Brotha Lynch Hung emerges as the newest Strange Music artist.

Like each member of the Strange Music label, LYNCH lives by a similarly intense, do-or-die, work ethic. Almost every year since his 1993 debut, 24 Deep, the Sacramento native has released a CD. An impressive feat considering he has never been affiliated with a major label.

Hailed by Monterey County's The Herald as "one of the most original and influential Northern Cali rap artists out there," LYNCH has maintained a loyal fan base over the years. He entertains with twisted humor, grim tales and a delivery that rides the beat with both a rapid-fire intensity and smooth soulful flow. He's seen hard times – the death of his mother, label deals gone wrong, drugs, despair – yet his lyrics are infused with a will to survive and a passion for life that override the dark corners of his mind.

Since releasing Lynch by Inch in 2003, LYNCH has maintained his visibility through mixtapes, yet fans have been waiting for a full-length album. You've been warned: LYNCH is currently working on Dinner and a Movie, his latest CD, slated to be released later this year.

"BROTHA LYNCH fits in with Strange, ideally, it couldn't be better," states Weiner. "It makes all the sense in the world. His talent and abilities are incredible."
