H-Town is an American R&B hip hop band that was formed in 1992 by three friends at Jack Yates High School in Houston, Texas. The group originally consisted of: Kevin "Dino" Conner, his fraternal twin brother Solomon "Shazam" Conner, and their long-time friend Darryl "G.I." Jackson. They took the name of the group, "H-Town," from the local nickname for the City of Houston.
It took H-Town six years before their first big break came. Dino and Shazam grew up surrounded by musicians and singers. All three band members went to pageants, talent shows and plays before they worked with a local producer. When they began to work with him, he sent their tape to Luther Campbell, who wasn't overly impressed.
The producer intentionally made Campbell miss a flight and dragged him back to the studio where he heard H-Town sing live. Campbell signed the group, joined up with producer Bishop "Stick" Burrell, and they went into the studio to start work on their debut album, Fever for Da Flavor.
On January 28, 2003, 28-year-old Dino Conner and his girlfriend Teshya Rae Weisent had just left a recording studio when their vehicle was struck by a SUV that ran a red light. Both Dino and Teshya Weisent were killed.
Three people witnessed the tragedy, but all fled the scene. One man, Juan Diaz, was later apprehended.
At the time, H-Town was working on what would become their fourth album.
H-Town finally released their reunion album, Imitations of Life, on October 12, 2004. The Remaining members of the group are in the works of making a H-Town Comeback album very soon, it is confirmed on their MySpace page.

H-Town Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
아직까지 두근두근거려 믿을 수 없어
따듯한 온기 너와 내가
처음 마주하던 그 시간을 잊을 수 없어
정말 나타나줄까?
나 혼자 기대한 것 같아
그렇다고 해도 난 괜찮아, 괜찮아 했지만
너의 빈자리를 상상했어
네 마음 생각도 못 한 채
다 기억할게
햇살같이 반짝이던 너의 웃음
맘에 들어온 순간
회색 빛이던 내 마음이 이제는 무지갯빛이 됐지
Shiny 날 이렇게 바꿔준 너
You are my key
소중히 간직한 내 맘속
숨은 달빛을 꺼내준 거야
You are my key
깜깜한 길 끝에 반짝인
꿈을 열어준 나의 열쇠
I shine because of you (yeah, yeah)
For me, you are my key (yeah, yeah)
I shine because of you (yeah, yeah)
For me, you are my key (yeah, yeah)
For me, you are my key (key)
풀리지 않는 미스테리가 앞에 있어 울고 싶을 때
미로 속에 미로 아무리 걸어도 나는 제자리일 때
품에 품고 있어, 이제 꺼내 보려 해
손을 잡고 이젠 뛰어들어보려 해
You're just the one I need
이 퍼즐의 마지막 조각
정말 다가와 줄까?
혹시 나 혼자만의 착각
그렇다고 해도 난 괜찮아, 괜찮아 했지만
사실은 조금 겁이 났어
너의 빈자리를 상상했어
네 마음 생각도 못 한 채
잊지 않을게
진심이 통하던 그때의 그 눈빛
우리 시작의 순간
사실은 너에게만 해주고 싶었던 이야기야
심장이 터지는 줄 알았어
You are my key
너에게 내 맘도 닿기를
바라며 말해 I likey M1-KEY
You are my key
깜깜한 길 끝에 반짝인
꿈을 열어준 나의 열쇠
I shine because of you (yeah, yeah)
For me, you are my key (yeah, yeah)
I shine because of you (yeah, yeah)
For me, you are my key (yeah, yeah)
For me, you are my key
These lyrics, written in Japanese, translate to:
"I couldn't always express
what I wanted to say in words,
so I sing it here now,
because I want to convey my feelings to you.
When we first met, I was alone
and didn't know what to believe.
You reached out your hand to me,
so now I can keep singing here.
I'll never forget that you made my dreams come true.
During tough times, you gently held my hand
and said, 'It's okay.'
I was able to come this far
because you supported me so many times.
I want you to continue to be by my side,
because you're the only one I need.
I'm able to keep singing here
because you always support me,
because you made my dreams come true."
The lyrics of "Die For You" express gratitude and appreciation for someone who has been a constant source of support and strength during difficult times. The song highlights the importance of having someone by your side who believes in you and helps make your dreams a reality. The repeated phrase "君が夢を叶えてくれたから" ("You made my dreams come true") emphasizes the profound impact that one person's caring and encouragement can have on someone else's life.
