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.).\u00a0 The collective also recently added long-time affiliate Rustee Juxx into the fold as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the genre\u2019s 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\u2019s golden age.\u00a0 Individually, and collectively, the BCC has created numerous timeless classics albums and singles: Black Moon\u2019s\u00a0<strong><em>Enta Da Stage<\/em><\/strong>, Smif N Wessun\u2019s\u00a0<strong><em>Dah Shinin\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, Heltah Skeltah\u2019s\u00a0<strong><em>Nocturnal<\/em><\/strong>, Fab 5\u2019s (Heltah Skeltah &amp;

which is also the site for the upcoming\u00a0<strong>Rock The Bells Festival<\/strong>\u00a0which will take place on 8-5-23 and will also feature a performance by Boot Camp Clik.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn honor and celebration of\u00a0<strong><em>Hip Hop 50<\/em><\/strong>, we felt that the BCC\u2019s catalog of work, contributions and legacy needed to be recognized properly\u201d BCC\u2019s co-founder and glue Dru Ha asserts.\u00a0 It\u2019s 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).\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Although it\u2019s been many years since they\u2019ve recorded together, they all remain bonded by their shared experiences and legacies.\u00a0 Once again, they truly demonstrated there\u2019s power in numbers, showcased the unique chemistry they have with one another, and fittingly entitled the track \u201cWotcha Call Strength.\u201d\u00a0 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duck Down and Rock The Bells will also be collaborating on a merch drop, including new long and short sleeve shirts, hoodies, and hats.\u00a0 The merch drop will be available starting on 7-15-23 at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.rockthebells.com\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/shop.rockthebells.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1689598718528000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2VekSqsSo5aeoNrZqW5Q5F\">https:\/\/shop.rockthebells.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can now purchase, stream, add, and favorite\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cWotcha Call Strength\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0at your preferred DSP:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/wotchacallstrength\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/lnk.to\/wotchacallstrength&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1689598718528000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1EY83nUjjOYOkLWKi4lS6h\">https:\/\/lnk.to\/wotchacallstrength<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SS1STZ1vN5Q\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
