General Steele (birth name Darrell A. Yates, Jr.) is an American rapper, famous as half of the underground rap duo Smif-N-Wessun, and as a member of Hip Hop supergroup Boot Camp Clik. Career-Steele and Smif-N-Wessun partner Tek made their debut on Black Moon's classic 1993 album Enta Da Stage on the tracks "Black Smif-N-Wessun" and "U Da Man". The duo was signed to Buckshot's Duck Down management, and released their debut single "Bucktown" in 1994, followed by their debut album Dah Shinin' in early 1995. The release was influential over the New York City Hip Hop scene of the mid-1990s and is now hailed as a rap classic. The duo soon changed their name to the Cocoa Brovaz due to a lawsuit from the Smith & Wesson firearms company, and released their second album The Rude Awakening in 1998, featuring the singles "Won on Won", "Black Trump" and "Bucktown USA". After the temporary demise of Duck Down Records, the duo signed to Rawkus Records, and appeared on a number of Rawkus releases, including the Soundbombing II compilation, the Lyricist Lounge 2 compilation, the Lyricist Lounge III compilation and Talib Kweli's Quality album. The duo returned to Duck Down Records for a 2002 Boot Camp Clik effort The Chosen Few. In 2004, Steele released a solo mixtape titled Amerikkka's Nightmare, a release which was heavily politically influenced. Tek and Steele returned as Smif-N-Wessun in 2005 for the release of their third album Smif 'N' Wessun: Reloaded. Steele is featured on the Boot Camp Clik album The Last Stand, released on July 18, 2006. In 2010 Steele released Amerikkka's Nightmare Part 2, which again featured heavily political lyrical content. Steele is also the older brother of fellow Boot Camp member, Top Dog, who is part of the Originoo Gunn Clappaz.

From 90's classics that went platinum (Boot Camp Clik, Heltah Skeltah, etc), to modern classics that went platinum (Young M.A. "Ooh") we spoke to the genius behind the scenes - CEO & Co-Founder of Duck Down Records. Lots of jewels dropped, like how to maneuver in today's music industry climate, the importance of social media, creating a direct relationship with the artist to get more placements & so much more. With 20+ years in the game, there's so much perspective here that we can all learn from.

26 ans après leur première trace discographique, les membres du groupe marseillais reviennent avec l’album Rêvolution, un peu fleuve (19 morceaux…), et pas inoubliable en terme de production. Mais la recette n’est pas gâchée, l’écriture et le style sont limpides et ils rappent pour de vrai, en prenant le temps de regarder en arrière et de délivrer des leçons de vie. Les marseillais légendaires ne tombent pas dans le jeunisme à tout prix et misent sur les créneaux totalement maîtrisés de l’introspection et de l’identité. Un peu comme une continuité de leur histoire, en assurant un rap d’anciens.Animé par Mehdi Maizi avec Raphaël Da Cruz et Aurélien ChapuisRÉFÉRENCESRêvolution (IAM, Def Jam Recordings, 2017), Depuis longtemps (Rêvolution, IAM, Def Jam Recordings, 2017), Arts Martiens (IAM, Def Jam Recordings, 2013), ...IAM (IAM, Def Jam Recordings, 2013), Saison 5 (IAM, Polydor, 2007), Une autre brique (Saison 5, IAM, Polydor, 2007), Fiya (Rêvolution, IAM ft.

This year we said good bye to one of the greatest and most prolific MC's. Legendary Heltha Skeltah, Boot Camp Click and Duck Down Records phenom Sean Price (Ruck). S.E.A.N. left us too soon at age 43 but he didn't leave without leaving behind one of the deepest repertoires of any MC. Sean worked with more artists and producers than we can think of and had one of the most memorable flows in Hip Hop. This episode is our attempt at paying homage to a man who's contribution to the genre is Price-less. RIP Ruck Ruck.

“It's been a couple of years working on the album but it came out exactly how I wanted it to,“ hip hop producer and dj, Mr. Green tells The Library's Tim Einenkel on rapstation.com about his upcoming album Live From The Streets (under the label, Duck Down Records). Live From The Streets , presented by Vice Media Noisey, started out as a web series three years ago and within the first year co-creator, producer and host, Mr. Green knew an album would be born from this. The Live From The Streets album, will be released under the independent label Duck Down Music, on April 7, but can be pre-ordered today here http://smarturl.it/livefromthestreets “I don't think it's worth rushing things, “ Mr. Green continues during his interview with Tim Einenkel on The Library, “There's still something to be said for stuff for people take their time with. Rather than try to make something that people remember for a week, try to make something that people actually remember for a year or years. That's more of the goal with Life From The Streets. It's not episode everyday time of thing. It's more of a craft. A well crafted thing.” Check out more of Tim's interview with Mr. Green on Live From The Streets web series as well as the album here http://thelibrarywithtimeinenkel.libsyn.com/ #Live From The Streets #Vice Media #Noisey #Down Down Records # Buckshot #Music # Hip-hop #Rap Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Brooklyn, New York City. Home of fancy coffee shops, expensive condominiums, and trendy neighborhoods. But in 1995, Brooklyn was not synonymous for “gentrification.” Back then, Rudy Giuliani was Mayor of New York and he was in the midst of a serious war against crime. In 1995, Giuliani’s New York registered its lowest crime rate since the 1970s. From 1,156 homicides then to roughly 300 homicides now, the Big Apple has come a long way. In the heart of Brooklyn stood the “Doghilee,” stomping ground for the crew known as the Boot Camp Clik. BCC, which helped spearhead New York’s hardcore rap scene, was comprised of four unique groups: Black Moon, Smif N Wessun, Heltah Skeltah, and O.G.C. Emerging with Black Moon’s seminal debut album, Enta Da Stage, BCC cemented their status with Smif N Wessun’s debut, Dah Shinin. Released January 10, 1995, Dah Shinin is celebrated for the synergy between Smif N Wessun’s two members, Tek and Steele, and the cohesive, gritty production courtesy of Da Beatminerz. In 1998, The Source placed the album in its list of 100 Best Rap Albums. What You're about to hear is Tek and Steele take us through the backstory and the making of their quintessential classic. They talk about: - Their relationships with Biggie and Tupac - Going to high school with Maxwell and Sean Price - Being inspired by the work of Roy Ayers - And what the Doghilee actually was. This is "You Must Learn." "You Must Learn" was produced and edited by Peter Oasis, written by Dharmic X and executive produced by Evan Auerbach of @upnorthtrips. Special thanks to Dru Ha and Duck Down Records for the love. "You Must Learn" was recorded in your mothers basement next to your favorite blogger somewhere in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

Back in the mid 90's Brooklyn was well represented in Hip Hop.  At the top was none other than The Notorious BIG.  But not everybody in BK was feelin Biggie's Versace and Dom P. rhymes.  So the fans that were into that underground gritty army fatigue/timberland stomp you in the face Hip Hop gravitated towards The Boot Camp Clik.  The crew which consisted of the groups Black Moon led by the legendary Buckshot, Originoo Gunn Clappaz, Smif N Wessun, and Heltah Skeltah were the independent NYC underground kings at the time.  With production handled by Da Beatminerz, their label Duck Down Records was definitely a major player in the game.  Their movement eventually caught the attention of 2pac who spent his last days recording with the crew for an album that was supposed to unite both coasts.  After Pac passed the label went through some up and downs only to resurface as strong as ever with a new generation of MC's to carry the torch.  So this a little something to pay homage to the Boot Camp Clik and Duck Down Records.  I'll eventually make a part 2 of this with the newer generation of Duck Down so look out for that.  Enjoy.(Parental Advisory)

**TO LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD SEE THE END OF THE SHOW DESCRIPTION - POST TO YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE IF YOU LOVE HIP HOP !** On this weeks celebration of independence we have: Sage Francis takes much needed time out of his ‘strange famous’ and non-stop career to share with us his “best of times” as an artist creating his new album ‘Li(f)e’. In this interview Sage discusses ‘Li(f)e’ and it’s foreign territory sonically for himself as well as those involved, lyricism, soul-searching, themes including Christopher "Little Houdini" Gaye’s prison break, working with composer French composer Yann Tiersen (Amelie soundtrack), upcoming London show, Strange Famous Records and so much more. Unbelievably essential listening for all Sage Francis fans worldwide - he even records a special message for you all. The ever prolific Ras Kass joins us live from a studio in sunny Los Angeles to discuss and promote upcoming project with Beat Junkie DJ Rhettmatic “A.D.I.D.A.S” exclusively on Conspiracy Radio. Listen as a typically rejuvenated and focused Ras Kass addresses details on A.D.I.D.A.S. and its creation and projects prior to it as well as chopping up his newfound internet/technology game with Mista Montana and speaks of plans of work off the mic for an upcoming cartoon. He also reveals an update on the much anticipated Four Horsemen project and speaks of recently seeing with Kurupt just days before this interview. Save the Ras Kass and support A.D.I.D.A.S when it drops. Buckshot steps away from daddy duties co-starring his daughter in the background to celebrate 15 years of the powerhouse that is Duck Down Records. Take a trip down memory lane with Mista Montana and Menace as we reflect and remember the creation of Black Moon and its significance today. Learn about the evolution of Black Moon between the name switching from group name Unique Image High to High Tech before finally sticking with the name we all recognise and love; Black Moon!. Buck also discusses on Black Moons sound pre Finsta, cutting the original Black Moon demo, Evil Dee’s vocal coaching, samples and the possibilities of a sequel to Enta Da Stage. In addition we are also given nuggets on upcoming Duckdown releases including Random Axe's highly anticipated project and Buckshot's forthcoming book. QN5 Records is one of the most expressive and creative record labels in the history of hip hop. Their roster of artists and musical output remains unrivaled as they reach their 10 year anniversary. Head honcho and all round stand up guy, Tonedeff, joins us for a humorous exploration of QN5's history and their scheduled forthcoming release of ten albums in 2010. Far from a tame interview, this 30 minutes captures perfectly the wit and reality rap that Tonedeff and his colleagues create. Watch for the vintage Tonedeff freestyle at the end! Weapon Aid is Braille’s latest weapon (pardon the pun) and this time features the now single father at his darkest hour. Unlike any other of Braille’s album prior, Weapon Aid is an album engaged with intensity, soul searching, courage and above all freedom. Hear Braille like you’ve never heard him before on Conspiracy Radio in an all revealing stripped down, naked and inspiring exploration of Weapon Aid and his internal hardships creating it. Braille speaks to Mista Montana and Menace about Weapon Aids creation; including him “wrestling particular tracks”, healing, stepping up artistically and growing as an artist, new material including a collaboration with Evidence, his desire to seek different and bigger sounding produced songs and of course his new label Talking Textures which is in conjunction with Syntax Records among many other topics! Celebrate independence with one of Hip Hops most overlooked and criminally slept on secret weapons. A must listen for Braille fans and lovers of Hip Hop with a message Jimmy Powers has just released, what will no doubt be, one of the strongest albums of 2010.So it was a pleasure to welcome the man himself onto the show and get an essential history lesson, as we explore such themes as La Coka Nostra, working with Copywrite, the sucess of indie labels and more in an interview as refreshing as Jimmy's album itself. AND THAT'S NOT ALL! We world premiere first-play new non-leaked tracks from Necro's adventurous new album "DIE!" released May 18th worldwide. Necro leaps out of the pigeon hole you put him in on this new album and it will no doubt prove to be an essential album purchase for 2010.

Far from a tame interview, this 30 minutes captures perfectly the wit and reality rap that Tonedeff and his colleagues create. Watch for the vintage Tonedeff freestyle at the end! Weapon Aid is Braille’s latest weapon (pardon the pun) and this time features the now single father at his darkest hour. Unlike any other of Braille’s album prior, Weapon Aid is an album engaged with intensity, soul searching, courage and above all freedom. Hear Braille like you’ve never heard him before on Conspiracy Radio in an all revealing stripped down, naked and inspiring exploration of Weapon Aid and his internal hardships creating it. Braille speaks to Mista Montana and Menace about Weapon Aids creation; including him “wrestling particular tracks”, healing, stepping up artistically and growing as an artist, new material including a collaboration with Evidence, his desire to seek different and bigger sounding produced songs and of course his new label Talking Textures which is in conjunction with Syntax Records among many other topics! Celebrate independence with one of Hip Hops most overlooked and criminally slept on secret weapons. A must listen for Braille fans and lovers of Hip Hop with a message Jimmy Powers has just released, what will no doubt be, one of the strongest albums of 2010.So it was a pleasure to welcome the man himself onto the show and get an essential history lesson, as we explore such themes as La Coka Nostra, working with Copywrite, the sucess of indie labels and more in an interview as refreshing as Jimmy's album itself. AND THAT'S NOT ALL! We world premiere first-play new non-leaked tracks from Necro's adventurous new album "DIE!" released May 18th worldwide. Necro leaps out of the pigeon hole you put him in on this new album and it will no doubt prove to be an essential album purchase for 2010.
