Don’t Call It A Comeback!
Birthed by the legendary
Independent juggernaut Duck Down Records thirty years ago, Boot Camp Clik is a
Brooklyn, NY supergroup comprised of the label’s eight core members; Buckshot
(Black Moon, Tek and Steele (Smif N Wessun), Rock and the late great Sean Price
(Heltah Skeltah) Starang Wondah, Top Dogg and Louieville (O.G.C.). The collective also recently added long-time
affiliate Rustee Juxx into the fold as well.
One of the genre’s first true
supergroups, the eight-man collective was undeniably one of the most
trendsetting (music and fashion), impactful, and highly influential crews to
emerge from Hip-Hop’s golden age.
Individually, and collectively, the BCC has created numerous timeless
classics albums and singles: Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage, Smif N Wessun’s Dah
Shinin’, Heltah Skeltah’s Nocturnal, Fab 5’s (Heltah Skeltah
& O.G.C.) ‘Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka” & Sean Price’s Monkey
Barz are among many in the collective’s pristine catalog, and their
impacts are still felt today.
Now, with the global
celebration for Hip Hop’s upcoming 50th Anniversary (#HH50) in full
bloom, Boot Camp Click has re-assembled for the first time in 16 years with a
new single and video for “Wotcha Call Strength,” both of which are now
available.
“Wotcha Call Strength” is
produced by The Arcitype, and the visual is directed by David Janoff and was
filmed on location at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY; which is also the
site for the upcoming Rock The Bells
Festival which will take place on 8-5-23 and will also feature a
performance by Boot Camp Clik.
“In honor and celebration
of Hip
Hop 50, we felt that the BCC’s catalog of work, contributions and
legacy needed to be recognized properly” BCC’s co-founder and glue Dru Ha
asserts. It’s too easy to sit back and
say the Hip Hop community should verify you and painstaking to go out and have
to remind people with words, so we felt there was no better way to make a
statement than to drop a new record with all the original members (RIP to Sean
Price). With a high-energy track
provided by The Arcitype and a ferocious lead-off verse from Rustee Juxx, the guys
were inspired to work together as a collective again. Although it’s been many years since they’ve
recorded together, they all remain bonded by their shared experiences and
legacies. Once again, they truly
demonstrated there’s power in numbers, showcased the unique chemistry they have
with one another, and fittingly entitled the track “Wotcha Call Strength.” Partnering with Rock The Bells was the icing
on the cake, as not only did they provide resources, but the indirect
endorsement from Hip Hop royalty in LL Cool J adds even more credibility to the
single, and helped solidify the marketing campaign that will be capped with a
full BCC performance at the Rock The Bells Festival.”
Duck Down and Rock The
Bells will also be collaborating on a merch drop, including new long and short
sleeve shirts, hoodies, and hats. The
merch drop will be available starting on 7-15-23 at https://shop.rockthebells.com/
