Thirty years ago, Da Beatminerz helped lead a charge with Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage. The Nervous Records LP was produced by Evil Dee (also a Black Moon co-founder) and his brother Mr. Walt. The album help launch several movements—for the Boot Camp Clik, for underground/independent Hip-Hop, and for a special style of production. Less than a month before Enta Da Stage, KRS-One delivered his solo debut, Return Of The Boom-Bap. The Boogie Down Productions veteran was heading in the same sonic direction as his Brooklyn peers—who would name their company, Duck Down, after a BDP song.
In the years that followed, KRS, Da Beatminerz, and Boot Camp Clik have worked together on songs and albums. As 2023 closes, the entities come together for an expanded take on a new song. Smif-n-Wessun’s General Steele and Tek join KRS-One, Mr. Walt, and Evil Dee on “Seckle…Once Again.” The song is currently featured atop Ambrosia For Heads’ official playlist, which you can follow.
