Buckshot 'The Common Knowledgy Of The Entertainment Industry' 

Pamphlet & Audio Download Card Available November 23rd

Buckshot is the co-founder of Duck Down Music & the lead MC for Black Moon & Boot Camp Clik. In 2005, Buckshot reinvented himself with his group project with 9th Wonder, entitled, Chemistry. The duo released a second title, The Formula, in 2008 and are currently in the mixing process of their 3rd album, 'The Solution,' in stores in 2011. In 2009, Buckshot teamed with KRS-ONE for their group album, 'Survival Skills.'

2010 marks the 15 year anniversary of Duck Down Music. Buckshot has taken his 15 year experience and has crafted a pamphlet entitled 'The Common Knowledgy Of The Entertainment Industry.' The pamphlet is comprised of three stages. Buckshot first educates readers on the 'Basics' of the entertainment industry providing his definitions for terms associated within the business. Buckshot then transitions to the 'Framework,' or inner-workings of a music label and answers commonly posed questions that he receives from fans & interviewers. In the final stage, Buckshot unveils 'How It All Works,' and illustrates the process of putting the knowledge to use & executing proposed goals.

Accompanying the pamphlet is a 13-track album provided as a download card, which can also serve as a page place-holder. The album features original Buckshot music based on the concepts from within the pamphlet.

Buckshot, along with co-owner of Duck Down Music, Dru Ha, has been the Executive-Producer of each title released by the long-standing and resilient Independent label. He's been part of over 3 million records sold, toured the globe performing his hits & worked with greats such as: Mary J Blige, Aaliyah, Tupac Shakur, Q-Tip, Bustah Rhymes, Talib Kweli, Funk Master Flex & more. Buckshot has created original music for ESPN, The History Channel, Pizza Hut, Belvedere, HBO, Smirnoff, 2K Sports & others. He's been a part of campaigns through Duck Down's marketing arm, Vision, for companies such as: Coca-Cola, Mark Ecko Brand, Sketchers, 2K Sports, Scion, Olde English, Rockstar Games & more. Within the pamphlet, Buckshot provides insight on the many caps he wears, ranging from recording & performing artist, label owner & marketing executive.

Respect is given where it is due- R.I.P Duttch Mastah by Jass Bianchi 

Respect is given where it is due- R.I.P Duttch Mastah by Jass Bianchi (stop the violence)

"People come and go in your life with reason."


The first time I met Duttch was at The Armory in Newark NJ, he and I were performing at a cook out when someone I was with told me I really gotta listen to him. A few months passed of performing when I first officially met Duttch while we were performing at Club Shrine in Harlem. Duttch was one of those performers that captured you. His passion was un-escapable. You could tell he breathed his art, lived it and he was it. He was so much of what he rhymed about that it pains me to even think that most these rappers make money off of faking who Duttch was. That night at Shrine, I had this crazy scooby doo looking crack head try to ruin my set while I was performing "Do You", she tried to grab my microphone, but I wasn't lettin it go. LaRue and the B.U.R.N U family escorted that crazy woman to the street. After my set, I picked up a shattered bottle and carried it around the street.

When I went outside to get some air, Duttch was chillen with an open beer bottle and he approached me. He gave me a few words of wisdom about the situation and we laughed about it. I gave him a cd and told him that I had a joint for him to collabo on for Poetic Authority. Unfortunately, just after us speakin about the collaboration, a paddy wagon rolled up on the corner and arrested Duttch for having an open bottle in public. They grabbed his hands behind his back, and the cd fell on the street. Needless to say, "Insomniac" never recieved the proper Duttch Mastah feature. In all my years of hip-hop I thought I had learned it all. And just when you believe you're the guru of whatever gangstarr is thrown at you...you realize as Digable Planets said "It's all relative, time is unreal/We're just babies, we're just babies, man."

So though we only crossed paths a few times: from one emcee to another emcee, respect is due. This is the least I could do for another emcee who fought for hip-hop. I'm proud of you. You are what most these rappers never were, and what they will never be. A respected artist. Therefore, as a student of hip-hop and a woman in this game, I believe its my duty to spread your inspiration, and may it be an inspiration for all those who want to quit. The lesson I learned through this is to celebrate and support those who represent the real while they are here. For all those who know this is not just a game, and for all those who are inspired to fight for the real....hip-hop. Please pass these videos on.

Peace Brother.
Jass B. (STOP THE VIOLENCE)
