I Kno I Gotcha Opin...

Iite if you appreciate quality NY Hip-Hop, I'm damn sure you know of Black Moon. If you don't, you should tie your dick around the blades in your food processor and make a smoothie. But there is a way to repent... read on and learn you somethin. Black Moon was formed by Buckshot Shorty, 5 Foot, and Dj Evil Dee... and in my opinion; as a collective, made some of the best music to ever come from the East Coast. The sound they have ranges from somewhat hardcore sh*t to ish that just makes you nod your head in only a way quality music can. Black Moon has a very New York sound, but manages to separate themselves from the average Noo Yawk rap group. Although new musical efforts from Black Moon as a whole may not come about anytime soon (5 Ft is locked up) you can spot the remaining two members doing work together as the Boot Camp Clik. Here's to good music.


I Gotcha Opin
This sh*t used to be my jam, and still gets rotation... just a damn good song in my book. The melody to the sh*t and everyone's delivery over the Evil Dee supplied instrumental is superb, and it all comes to fruition as a dope ass track.


Buck Em' Down
Another showcasing of Buckshot and co. dropping that quality hip-hop sickness. The BDI Thug rides the boom-bap flawlessly and drops yet another classic verse here.


How Many MC's
Here is one of my favorite Black Moon tracks. Utilizing a KRS loop for the hook, putting out classic verses on both parts, this track is on a tone diff from their usual drops... still a classic.


2 Turntables and a Mic
Another memorable Black Moon track, a lot more energy on this track than those of prior mention. Love this song, you should too.

Go Get..

Enta Da Stage- Released wayyy back in 93', it's Black Moon's debut album... and its a must-hear.


War Zone- This dropped back in 99' (forever ago in internets timez), has more appearances from 5 Ft (six total, compared to EDS' 3) and is imo a more polished album than Enta Da Stage. That being said I still prefer EDS to this just because Buckshot was still yet to develop his serious concise style, and was at the time still on his raw.

Thanks for reading, hope ya found some sh*t ya liked.
