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.

Like it slow (slow)
Like it slow
Like it slow
Humpin' fast that ain't gon' go
Like it slow
Like it slow
Humpin' fast that ain't gon' go
Like it slow
Don't you know they like it slow
I can feel your touch
Everytime you move back with your push
And it feels so wet
Then I get my slow motion right there
(ooooohh I wanna love your body slow)
Everytime I count a punch
And the rules go always slow toe to toe
If you don't know they don't like that right attack,
Damn right
Like it slow
Humpin' fast that ain't gon' go
Like it slow
Don't you know they like it slow
Like it slow
Humpin' fast that ain't gon' go
Like it slow
And I drive upon this far more
Like it slow
Humpin' fast that ain't gon' go
Like it slow
Don't you know they like it slow
Like it slow
Humpin' fast that ain't gon' go
Come Don't,
Ones that do there cetain to get none
And it don't justify
Don't try to move to fast take your time
It's a bad thing to come and drive straight by
Trying to be the one to win your trust
'Cause they don't know (yeah baby)
How you feel for sure
So take it slow
It's alright
I did dodge it
Like it slow
Humpin' fast that ain't gon' go
Like it slow (I like it)
Don't you know they like it slow
Like it slow
Humpin' fast that ain't gon' go
Like it slow
And I drive upon this far more
Like it slow
Said body knocking so slow
Like it slow
But don't you know they like it slow
Like it slow
Lets break it down oh no (slow)
Baby let me take it slow with you
Slow it down take time right
Go fast girl (no) makes me pull from (no)
Won't you take your time
Won't you take your time
Won't you take your time (take your time)
Won't you take your time
I like it
Won't you take your time (take your time)
Won't you take your time
Won't you take your time
Sing it again sing
Break it down
I like it
Sing it to them
[Fade]
