Biography

The New York based hip-hop trio
Black Moon (comprised of Buckshot, DJ Evil Dee, and 5FT) came up with such
notable acts as Wu-Tang Clan and The Notorious B.I.G. They launched their first
single, “Who Got Da Props?”, in 1992. That song, which climbed to number
86 on the pop chart and the top 30 on the rap chart, would appear on their
first album, 1993’s Enta da Stage, but in that time the group’s sound
had evolved into something noticeably more menacing. The album utilized a distinctive
low-fi sound and included that first single, but also showcased their
progression on tracks like “How Many MC’s…”. The group members pursued
separate interests and became associated with the hip-hop collective Boot Camp
Clik. During their layoff, a legal battle ensued over the right to the name
Black Moon. All of this is why their sophomore album, War Zone, did not
come out until 1999. It climbed to number 35 on the main album chart, and
number 9 on the R&B album chart. Their third album, 2003’s Total
Eclipse,
maintained their reputation as kings of the underground rap scene
who had never broken through to the mainstream. Sixteen years would pass before
Black Moon returned with Rise of Da Moon.
