Black Moon & Smiff N Wessun @ Knitting Factory

Last night Duck Down Records hosted a tribute to the classics, Black Moon (minus an incarcerated 5 FT) and Smiff N Wessun backed by a live band rocked songs off their seminal albums Enta Da Stage and Dah Shinin’ to a sold out crowd at NYC’s Knitting Factory. They ran through all the Boot Camp gems like “Bucktown”, “Who Got Da Props?”, “Lets Get it On”, + more. Duck Down head honcho, Dru-Ha, even grabbed the mic for old times sake to perform his verse off “You Da Man” (peep his crowd surf). Mobb Deep’s Havoc also made an appearance to spit his verse, but seemed confused when the band began playing the instrumental to “Shook Ones”. However, the biggest surpise guest of the night was Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis Mccoy who wasted no time in spitting for the room full of finicky backpackers. Duck Down lastest signee? hmmm…
