KRS-One Signs To Duck Down
(February 29th)

Although rap has witnessed a string of duet projects in recent years, this one is really unprecedented – KRS-One and Buckshot are recording a joint album on Duck Down Records.

"To say we are honored and humbled would be an understatement," said Dru Ha, co-owner of Duck Down.

"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 [Boogie Down Productions] song 'Duck Down.'"

According to a press release, three tracks have already been recorded for the LP, and Buckshot says the pairing flowed naturally in the studio.

"This collaboration with KRS-One is going to be an album full of hip-hop conversation, ranging from New World Order, to socially conscious topics such as unemployment, poverty, and politics," says Buckshot.

The duet album is slated to drop later this year.
