Link (rapper)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lincoln Browder, better known by his stage name Link, is an American rapper from Dallas, Texas.

Browder sang in gospel choirs as a youngster and sang in an a cappella group in high school. Darrell Allamby recruited him to sing in an R&B group called Protege, but the group split up before making any headway into fame. After writing the hit "My Body" for the R&B supergroup LSG, Link was offered his own recording contract with Relativity Records.[1] His 1998 debut album Sex Down spawned two hit singles in the U.S., "Whatcha Gonna Do?" (#23) and "I Don't Wanna See" (#25).[2]

Link also wrote songs for Silk, Kut Klose, and for Gerald Levert and Johnny Gill's solo albums.
