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.

Let me break it down so that you can know

The lyrics to H-Town's song "Lick U Up" are quite explicit and straightforward, as the singer promises to do things that the listener might not have imagined him to do. He wants to take it slow and break it down so that the listener can know that he is going to lick them all over as the sweat pours down on them. He then proceeds to ask and encourage the listener to let him lick them up and down, around, and make his way from their toes to their thighs, making them so wet that they never let him go. H-Town's singing on this track is sensual and provocative, emphasizing the pleasure that comes from receiving oral sex and how he wants to be the one to provide that pleasure.
The song reflects both the sexual liberation and the objectification of women that were present in the 90s. The lyrics are explicit and titillating, and there is no room for subtlety or interpretation. The songs' melodies are soft, and the production is slick, adding to the sensuality of the track. The song is a classic slow jam, heavily influenced by the R&B trends of the time, and it became an instant classic upon its release. Despite its overt sexuality and controversial lyrics, the song was well received and managed to become a commercial success in the R&B market.
