The original lineup, Anthony \"Sugar Shaft\" Hardin, Claude \"Paradise\" Gray, Jason \"Brother J\" Hunter, and Lumumba \"Professor X\" Carson, became the driving force behind the Blackwatch movement, a collective that also included artists such as Lin Que aka Isis and Queen Mother Rage. Renowned for their Afrocentric vision, militant activism, and unmistakable sonic identity, X Clan quickly rose to prominence. Their 1990 debut album To The East, Blackwards sparked both acclaim and controversy, reaching No. 11 on Billboard's Top R\u0026amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 97 on the Billboard 200. The record delivered several standout singles, including \"Heed The Word Of The Brother\" backed with \"Raise The Flag\", \"Funkin' Lesson\" backed with \"Shaft's Big Score\", \"Grand Verbalizer, What Time Is It?\", and the funk-driven, sample-heavy track \"Verbal Milk\". The group's original formation dissolved in 1995, and tragically, both Sugar Shaft and Professor X passed away later that year. To The East, Blackwards is now reissued on vinyl for the first time since 1991, honouring one of hip-hop's most influential and culturally resonant albums.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTRACKS:\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Funkin' Lesson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Grand Verbalizer, What Time Is It?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Tribal Jam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e A Day of Outrage, Operation Snatchback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Verbal Milk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Earth Bound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Shaft's Big Score\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Raise the Flag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e Heed the Word of the Brother\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e Verbs of Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e11\u003c\/span\u003e In the Ways of the Scales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will shipping take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is In Stock\/Inbound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Pre-Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Backorder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship within 1 day of being available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship near or on release date, as they are checked in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship as they become available, and may take 2-12 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"X Clan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67561748758686,"sku":"602488534833","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/8321\/8590\/files\/image_79119b58-8024-4ccf-95a0-1ff94ad9d26a.jpg?v=1791861571","url":"https:\/\/soundslikevinyl.com\/products\/chuck-berry-birthday-berrys-10-vinyl-lp-copy","provider":"SoundsLikeVinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
