On Saturday, July 5, 2025, Duck Down Music celebrated their 30th anniversary with a stellar show at Damrosch Park in Lincoln Center. After doors opened, Mr. Walt of Da Beatminerz performed a DJ set, followed by Funk Flex, and then Boot Camp Clik members (Buckshot & Evil Dee of Black Moon, Smif-N-Wessun, Heltah Skeltah [with Bernadette Price filling in for her late husband, Sean Price, a.k.a. Ruck], and O.G.C.) plus special guests Masta Ace, Pharoahe Monch, M.O.P., and KRS-One performing a few songs before Boot Camp Clik closed the show with Black Moon songs.
I covered the special event for BrooklynVegan and the full gallery is now available on their website.
Smif-N-Wessun just announced another free performance that will take place in Brower Park in Crown Heights for BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! on Saturday, July 19th. Before Saturday, I last saw the group perform for the 25th anniversary of Da Shinin’ in January 2020.
