On today’s date in 2007, Sean Price of the legendary Boot Camp Clik released his second solo album entitled Jesus Price Supastar on Duck Down Records.

Jesus Price Supastar features production from 9th Wonder and Khrysis, as well as Illmind, Tommy Tee, Moss, and P.F. Cuttin. Album guests include Boot Camp Clik members Buckshot, Steele and Rock, Rustee Juxx, Sadat X, Block McCloud, Phonte, Chaundon, and The Loudmouf Choir. The album was met with a positive reception from music critics.

Jesus Price Supastar debuted on the Billboard Hot 200 chart at #196, making it the first Boot Camp Clik album since 1999 to crack the chart.

This album was a superb follow up to Monkey Barz, Price’s solo debut, but not even the BCC expected Sean’s solo ventures to be received so well by an entirely different generation of Hip Hoppers than he was used to that celebrated his Helton Skeltah success.

After four successful solo albums, Price’s life was cut short in August 2015 by what has still been ruled undetermined.

Salute to the Price family, his wife Bernie, his daughter Shaun, Buckshot, Steele, Tek and the entire Duck Down team for sharing the unparalleled talent of an artist like Sean Price. P!

Today in Hip-Hop History: Black Moon’s Debut Album ‘Enta Da Stage’ Turns 30 Years Old!

Leave a comment

blackmoon

On this date in 1993, Buckshot Shorty, the 5 Foot MC amd DJ Evil Dee released their first full-length album, Enta Da Stage, in 1993 on Nervous Records. This is undoubtedly one of the most pivotal albums to the sub-genre now coined as “backpack rap”.

With total in-house production from Evil Dee and The Beatminerz’ Mr. Walt, Enta Da Stage tells the narrative of the gritty streets of Crown Heights, Brooklyn from the perspective of young, Black teenagers submerged in that environment. With a very cinematic feel, the album captures the essence of the unforgiving streets while maintaining its conceptual focus of using the music to magnify the environment. The album also introduced fans to the poetic, weed-puffing duo Smif N Wessun and Heltah Skeltah, the origin of the late, great Sean Price.

Recorded entirely in the world-renowned and now-defunct D&D Studios, tracks that propelled the project include songs like “I Got Cha Opin”, “How Many MCs”, which was powered by a KRS-One sample, and the lead single, “Who Got The Props?”, the track that would forever etch Black Moon in Hip Hop history.

Salute to Buck, Evil Dee, 5Ft., Mr. Walt, Dru Ha, and the rest of the Duck Down/Boot Camp Clik family for this timeless classic!

Today In Hip Hop History: Smif N Wessun Dropped Their Debut Album ‘Dah Shinin’ 28 Years Ago

Screen Shot 2023 01 10 at 9.24.47 AM

On this date in 1995, Steele and Tek aka Smif N Wessun of the legendary Boot Camp Clik released their debut album Dah Shinin’ on the ultra-indie imprint, Wreck Records.

This was also the sophomore effort of the Boot Camp Clik, which exposed the skills of more of the artists that were heard on Black Moon’s debut project, Enta Da Stage. Tracks such as “Cession at da Doghillee” and “Sound Bwoy Bureill” introduced members of Heltah Skeltah, the duo that included the late Sean Price, as well as the Originoo Gunn Clappaz(O.G.C.), which completed the epic Brooklyn rap collective.

With in-house production courtesy of Da Beatminerz, the Roy Ayers’ Ubiquity-Esque feel that was captured on the album’s cover can definitely be felt through the verses over the haunting tracks. Even though the album never reached gold status in terms of sales, Dah Shinin’ is undoubtedly one of the albums that define its era.

Today In Hip Hop History: Boot Camp Clik’s Sean Price Passed Away Seven Years Ago

Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2022 08 08 at 10.17.21 AM

The Hip Hop community will never forget the feeling that permeated the atmosphere the morning that everyone woke up to find out that Sean Price aka Hussain Sayyid aka Ruck of the famed Boot Camp Clik duo Heltah Skeltah passed away in his sleep on this date seven years ago. He was 43 years old.

His death sent shock waves throughout Hip Hop, especially in NYC and Brooklyn to be specific. The native Brownsvillian was loved and respected in his community, whether it was for his penchant for spitting fire verses, his Comedy Central-esque shenanigans or just being one of the few examples of a responsible family man in the hood.

P left behind a myriad of solo studio work, including Mic Tyson and the critically acclaimed, yet posthumous release, Songs In The Key Of Price, in which his scheduled album release party at NYC’s SOBs ironically was turned into a memorial show.

Rest In Peace to Sean P. and condolences to his wife Bernadette and their children from the entire Mind Squad. Supreme salute to the entire Boot Camp Clik for holding down their comrade and his legacy.

DJ Invasion Blends Sean Price Lyrics Over Stu Bangas Beats On “Price Of Death”

Leave a comment

DJ Invasion, a Blend/Mash-Up DJ, has released his newest Artist/Producer project, Price Of Death. The project takes various vocals of the late Brownsville MC, Sean Price, and seamlessly weaves them into the beats of producer Stu Bangas.

Stu & Sean have collaborated multiple times over their respective careers, and DJ Invasion sought it out to make a full length project, emphasizing why  Sean Prices’ street tough bars, and Stu Bangas’ grimey, heavy drum production, is a match made for the ages. Ranging across Stu’s career of beats he has produced for his own albums, as well as artists like Vinnie Paz, Ty Farris, Apathy, etc., DJ Invasion has picked those that fit Sean Prices’ gritty, bully-like style lyrics. As well as Sean Price’s vocals, DJ Invasion has also blended various artists to rap along side Price, from long time collaborators like Ruste Juxx, Lil Fame, & Rockness Monsta, to newer, up and coming, independent artists, such as Weapon ESP, Ghost Of The Machine, & Estee Nack.

“Sean’s presence in Hip Hop has been felt throughout the scene for many years, even more so after his passing.” says Invasion. “I wanted to not only make a tribute to Price, but also feature those who were near and dear to him, as well as those who were influenced by him, to be apart of and add something special to the project.”

In today’s climate of Hip Hop, there is a trend of an artist having all his production done by one producer. Following this concept for years, DJ Invasion gives insight to what a full length album between Sean Price & Stu Bangas could have sounded like. After what has taken DJ Invasion almost 2 years to perfect, he has released “Price Of Death” on his Bandcamp, where you can find his other, various mash-up masterpieces, completely free to download and stream

On this day in Hip Hop history, members of the New York supergroup Boot Camp Clik (BCC), Heltah Skeltah, put out its debut album, Nocturnal. 

Met with critical acclaim, the album held the duo Ruck (Sean Price) and Rock as two of the strongest links in the BCC chain. Peaking at #35 on the Billboard 200 chart and #5 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop chart, Nocturnal was by far the duo’s most popular LP, gaining the entire BCC more respect and recognition in the growing New York Hip Hop scene of the mid ’90s.

The album’s lead single, “Leflaur Leflah Eshkosha” featuring OGC made chart appearances in the US and Europe peaking at #75 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Salute to Rockness, the entire Duck Down, the whole Boot Camp Clik and a special RIP salute to the one and only Sean Price! Thanks for this timeless piece of Hip Hop history!
