Boot Camp Clik

An eight-man collective composed of members of Black Moon, Smif-N-Wessun, Heltah Skeltah, and O.G.C., Brooklyn’s Boot Camp Clik first came together for “Cession at Da Doghillee” on Smif-N-Wessun's 1995 debut. The same year, “Headz Ain’t Reddee” appeared on the NEW JERSEY DRIVE soundtrack, the Heltah Skeltah/O.G.C. single “Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshkah” introduced the Fab 5 formation, and Buckshot and Nervous Records employee Dru Ha formed Duck Down Records--the Clik's home label ever since. While the BCC’s first group LP, FOR THE PEOPLE (1997), paled in comparison with previous solo efforts, their three subsequent efforts--starting with 2002’s THE CHOSEN FEW-- were critical successes thanks in part to top-notch production from longtime collaborators Da Beatminerz.
