Celebrating 15-Years with Duck Down Records

Last night, my guy Whatzisface and I joined artist Jamelah and a friend at the Duck Down 15-Year Anniversary Party at BB Kings in Midtown Manhattan. Kicked it with Statik Selaktah (see below), Poison Pen, Swave Sevah, Donnis, Ruste Juxx, DJ Eclipse, Cold Heat, Skyzoo and Kosha Dillz (passing out flyers in his tank top!).

"Evil Dee is on the mix, come on kick it!"... I saw Kidz in the Hall rock for the first time -- and they killed it. The guest appearances from Styles P, Talib Kweli, Immortal Technique, Jean Grae and Large Professor were all even better than they sound. Sean P is, well, P! And then there's Pharoahe Monch, spokesman for Guns 4 Cameras (a.k.a Aim to Live), who indisputably stole the show.

Duck Down, if you've been sleeping for the last decade and a half, is the rock of East Coast independent hip hop. The label, run by Dru Ha and Buckshot, has maintained its core (e.g., Heltah Skeltah & Smif-N-Wessun), while bolstering its roster with fresh new talent such as Kidz in the Hall and the homie Ruste Juxx, as well as adding cult-hero veterans like Pharoahe.

It felt good to be hip hop on July 13, 2010.

See below for videos of most of the show, thanks to E2 Productions.
