Mad marauders puffing chocolate (weed) and free styling beneath Brooklyn Street lights, Boot Camp is a collection of urban guerillas bombing the airwaves with b-boy beats and poetic flair. It includes Buckshot, Smif 'N' Wesson and Originoo Gunn Clappaz (OGC) as well as Heltah Skeltah. The compilation album For The People proves that a dream can come true, thanks to a lot of talent and hard work. The project features the skills of all Boot Camp artists (including Heltah Skeltah, O.G.C. and newcomers Representativz, Bucktown Juvineliz, BJ Swan, Twanie and Illanoyz, among others) led by Buckshot and Smif 'N' Wesson, now going by the name of Da Cocoa Brovaz. A troubled relationship with their former record company forced the artists to a period of silence. "The unfortunate circumstances gave us the chance to go through a process of reflection," says Buckshot, who, along with long time partner Dru Ha, now owns Duck Down Records. "Our main goal was to build a home for our family, where we could develop our projects and our music. All Boot Camp artists that grew up around us and witnessed our experience wanted to feel safe. That's why we created Duck Down." "Night Riders," the 1997 version of the Black Smif 'N' Wesson connection (Buckshot, and Da Cocoa Brovaz) is the track that clearly reveals the Clik's ew attitude: with mature lyrics dropped on a slow, guitar-filled tempo, this song is a statement: there can be change and growth in hip hop! "Change is good," says Tek. "Lots of people (especially in hip hop) are scared of change. They are afraid of losing their credibility. But change is necessary and it's the result of a growing process. That's what we want to address today with our music."
