15 Years of Duck Down Music [Music]

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Posted by Nickname

One of my favourite indie labels, Duck Down Music is celebrating its 15 Year Anniversary, by putting together a compilation… the twist is, fans of the label can help decide which tracks feature!

Founded in 1995 by Dru Ha & Buckshot, Duck Down Music has sold over 3 million records in its rich history.
The label, currently home to acts such as KRS-ONE & BUCKSHOT, 9th Wonder, B-Real of Cypress Hill, Sean Price, Kidz In The Hall, Skyzoo, Smif N Wessun, Heltah Skeltah, Boot Camp Clik, Marco Polo, Torae, Ruste Juxx, DJ Revolution, Team Facelift, Blue Scholars and more, is continuing to thrive in the Independent Hip-Hop scene.
To highlight the 15 year milestone, Duck Down is engaging YOU THE FAN, to help in deciding the final product for the commemorative album – 15 Years of Duck Down Music.
Fans can visit http://www.duckdown.com/15yearsofduckdownsurvey/

There, you’ll find a list of the top songs released through Duck Down, beginning in 1995 through 2010. Fans can vote for their favorite song from each year. The song with the most votes from each year will be highly recommended to be included in the final album track listing.

Voting will end June 1st.

On July 13th, just after INDEPENDENCE DAY, the collector’s item will be made available strictly as a physical CD. Fans can expect unique packaging in honor of this historic album.

NYC Heads… To celebrate the release, Duck Down is taking over BB KINGS in NYC (237 West 42nd Street) with a night of music featuring performances by:
Boot Camp Clik Featuring Sean Price, Buckshot, Smif N Wessun

Lennon – Beat Tape [Download]

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Posted by Rob B

Lennon is a 17 year-old native of Connecticut who whilst has only been producing for 4 years now, has a mature sound that’s far ahead of his years. Lennon grew up on Dilla and mentioned some of his influences being Kanye, 9th Wonder, RJD2 & Alex Goose, which is evident in his music. Apart from influences spanding through all music genres, Lennon also draws great inspiration from the legendary Spike Lee’s movies.

Currently, Lennon is working on a new project with the Cosmic Souls Collective (one of the members, EPonym, rhymes over Lennon’s ‘Like That’ track on ‘Beat Tape’) which he recently joined, a couple of blog mixtapes & is always looking for opportunities to produce for other artists. Looking to the future, Lennon’s dream would be to work with people like Eminem, Dre, Flylo, Drake, Jill Scott, Lupe & The Roots. Given his talent at such a young age, the sky’s the limit really.

‘Beat Tape’ is Lennon’s most recent project and displays a variety of his production styles. On the mixtape you will hear a remix of a Madlib track, a Masta Ace classic & also a load of great jazzy, soulful & even eerie instrumentals. Lennon also has a couple of other tracks & another beat tape for download on his website, check it out here. Big up to Lennon for help with the post.

Kam Moye – ‘Let’s be Honest’ [Video]

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Posted by Matman

Kam Moye (aka Supastition) has been consistently churning out high quality product for a while now. I’ve always appreciated his everyman, honest, day-to-day approach to his lyrical content, & he’s always had an impeccable taste in beats & producers to work with from the likes of 9th Wonder, Khrysis, Illmind & M-phazes etc…

In his latest re-invention as Kam Moye he’s also upped his lyrical game a notch or two - preview / buy his new LP “splitting image” here ..  Droppin’ Science approved!!
