Every so often in our lifetime we are blessed with an artist that forces us to re-examine ourselves, our standards and our communities, Brother Jay of the X-Clan is one of these figures…like revolutionary pioneers that have come before- Marley, Lennon, Malcolm X etc...Brother Jay is more than a rapper, he is a true master at his craft, a universal messenger of wisdom, insight, and liberation...during hip-hop’s golden age X-Clan played a radical and hugely influential role bringing consciousness, and self- empowerment to the forefront...enough looking backwards it’s all about moving forward, so fast forward the clock to Jan 30, 2007, the X-Clan is droppin “Return From Mecca,” the long awaited full length masterpiece from the clan...Brother Jay was hard at work in 2006 completing tours with Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Jurassic Five, and Public Enemy, as well as compiling a impressive body of work in the studio. In this day and age of fast food disposable music and culture it is refreshing to have Brother Jay surface with this album, as if he has been sent by a higher power to rescue hip-hop.

“Return From Mecca” has some impressive special guests, Damian Marley is on the track “Culture United,” KRS-ONE on the track “Speak Truth,” Chali 2na on the track “Funky For You,” Tech Nine on the track “Respect,” Papa Roach on the track “Americans”....but the special guests are merely flavoring to compliment the timeless flow and effortless lyrical performance that Brother Jay displays throughout Return From Mecca. Musically there is enough soulful elements of funkified nourishment to feed the starving masses, Return From Mecca is a timeless masterpiece that will raise the bar and set new standards in music..the fact that Brother Jay has picked Sub Noize as his home to release Mecca ,is proof of his intentions to unify cultures and bring forth the powers of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding .....if freedom, truth, and positive change are values that are important to you than you need to support the works of Brother Jay and the X-Clan, on Jan 30 2007 go pick up "Return From Mecca" I promise you will not be disappointed .....this cd will remain in our cd changer for years to come...keep the underground revolution alive, enjoy life, peace and positive vibrations to all ,
Daddy X
KMK Sub Noize Soulja for life
