KRS-One Signs To Duck Down Records

KRS-One

Duck Down co-founder Dru Ha had this to say:

“To say we are honored and humbled would be an understatement. Buck and I have known KRS since our early days in the game, back when we were recording at D&D Studios and he directly influenced the name of the label with his song “Duck Down” (sucka Mc’s Duck). He was also instrumental in one of Buck’s first and biggest records as Da Beatminerz flipped the “How Many MC’s” vocal sample from KRS. But with the nostalgic feelings of KRS being one of my favorite MC’s growing up to the side, it’s KRS’s continued relevance of today that’s most exciting. KRS has a message in his lyrics, a gladiator performer who reps the culture and posses all the qualities that an MC should embody: Meaningful lyrics, mastery of the flow, intense creativity and a ferocious live show. I know how much respect Buck has for KRS, so I can only imagine how this will elevate his game. It’s Old School to those that don’t keep up with the current works and movements but to me, I would call it Now School.”

Supposedly KRS and Buckshot have already recorded 3 songs together, and they are releasing an album together “later this year.”
That should definitely be a dope project. The folks at Duck Down are building a very nice roster.

+ Duck Down Records have also just signed DJ Revolution, who will be releasing his album later this year featuring: KRS ONE, Sean Price, Tash, Crooked I, Bishop Lamont, Dilated Peoples, Alchemist, Royce 5′9″, Guilty Simpson, Q-Bert, Blaq Poet, Spinbad, Defari, Kidz In The Hall, Buckshot, Bumpy Knuckles, Planet Asia
