Legendary rap crew
The Boot Camp Clik is gearing up to release their album The Last Stand, which
features all eight group members, as well as production by some of Hip-Hop’s
most notable producers.
Pete Rock, The
Large Professor, Dat Beatminerz, 9th Wonder, Ill Mind, Coptic, Marco Polo &
Sic Beats crafted the group’s latest album, which features Buckshot, Smif-N-Wessun, OGC, Sean Price and the return of
Rock (of Heltah Skeltah).
"Timing permitted
it to feature all the original members," Buckshot told AllHipHop.com. "We
didn’t say ‘oh now, we are gonna get together and do this.’ We never stopped
f**king with each other."
Rock, of the critically
acclaimed group Heltah Skeltah, returns to the rap collective after signing
with DJ Lethal’s label in a deal with Geffen Records.
The album was never
released, but the rapper is now working on a new album titled Monstah Musik,
in addition to his reunification with the Boot Camp Clik.
"Don’t sleep,
this album is something people are going to acknowledge," Buckshot said.
"This album will revitalize the game. We give the people good hip-hop and
that’s what this album is about."
The group recently
returned from a 17-city European tour of 8 European countries to promote the
new album, as well as other releases in the label’s extensive catalog, which
includes classic albums like Enta Da Stage (Black Moon), Nocturnal
(Helta Skeltah), Da Storm (O.G.C.), as well as recent releases like The
Chosen Few (Boot Camp Clik), Total Eclipse (Black Moon), Reloaded
(Smif-N-Wessun), Chemistry (Buckshot and 9th Wonder) and Monkey Barz
(Sean Price).
"Every show
was packed on the European tour, that was a good thing," Buckshot continued.
"Now we are going to start the tour in the United States to keep everything
going."
Dates for the United
States leg of the group’s tour are currently being lined up and confirmed.
The Last Stand
hits stores July 18 on Duckdown Entaprizez. Sean Price’s Jesus Price
Superstar hits stores this September.
