Smif-N-Wessun at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival.

[NEW] 2Pac ft. Boot Camp Clik - "Initiated"

I swear, sometimes I have no idea where this stuff comes from. It's like the Heavens open up and drop gold plated diamonds wrapped in cashmere from the sky. Duckdown just unearthed this gem of a Tupac song featuring the mighty Boot Camp Clik. It's always dope to hear new Pac records.

[VIDEO] DJ Revolution - "Man or Machine"

This. Is. Dope. DJ Revolution battles a machine for turntable supremacy. The song is from his latest album, King of the Decks, which coincidentally is one of the best albums of 2008. Mhmm, that's right.

Shout out to Duck Down for sending it over.

[VIDEO] Tek (of Smif N Wessun) - "Spread My Wings"

I only listen to the Boot Camp Clik on 2 occasions...day and night. So I love when new Boot Camp stuff hits my computer, and you should too. Bucktown.

Daily Dopeness: Bucktown.

Home of the original gun clappaz.

Smif-N-Wessun a.k.a. Cocoa Bravaz a.ka. Smif-N-Wessun (again) were my shit in the mid 90's. Shit, I still fux with Buckshot and the whole Duck Down team. Their debut album, Dah Shinin, was an instant classic with countless dope tracks. Tek and Steele were the epitome of that low down, dirty, grimey, nappy headed, bubble coat wearing, Timbaland boot stomping, mean mugging, pistol packing, New York street rap. I loved it.

Until tomorrow...

[VIDEO] Heltah Skeltah - "So Damn Tuff"

Ah yeah, new video from Helthah Skeltah featuring Buckshot and Ruste Juxx. They're taking it back to that '95 Duck Down grimey sound with this shit. This song is from their album, D.I.R.T. (Da Incredible Rap Team), which is in stores now and only $7 at Best Buy for a limited time. Yes, I said $7 bucks....that's cheaper than your lunch, homie. Support that good music.

Buckshot Does the Macarena

Hilarious. Almost as good as his appearance with the Simpsons

[VIDEO] Heltah Skeltah - "Ruck N Roll"

These guys are ridiculous... ridiculously dope. New album drops Sept 30th.
