Return from Mecca is the title of the reunion 3rd album from Hip Hop group X-Clan, released on January 30, 2007. This is the group's first studio album in 15 years since 1992's Xodus. A music video was made of the single "Weapon X." It is the first album to not feature members Sugar Shaft and Professor X as Sugar Shaft died in 1995 from AIDS and Professor X died in 2006, one year before the release of the album, from spinal meningitis.
X-Clan originally consisted of four members, Brother J, Professor X, Sugar Shaft and Paradise the Architect. Sugar Shaft died in 1995 because of complications from AIDS, and Professor X died in early 2006 because of complications from spinal meningitis, leaving only two of the original members. Return From Mecca features guest appearances from Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, KRS-One, Kottonmouth Kings, RBX, Abstract Rude, and Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach. Featured producers include DJ Quik, DJ Khalil, and Jake One.
