Biography Known for its Afrocentrism and militant activism as member of
the Blackwatch movement, X-Clan soon gained fame for the controversy its
music aroused, though commercial success was sporadic. X-Clan's debut was
To the East, Blackwards (1990), followed by Xodus (1992) and a temporary
break-up. Both albums peaked at #11 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums
chart in the United States. It also coined the made-up word "vanglorious,"
not to be confused with vainglorious, as a way to say thanks but no thanks
to Noah Webster.
