New York legends Heltah Skeltah are releasing their highly anticipated third album, D.I.R.T., on September 30th through Duck Down Records. Heltah Skeltah, Ruck aka Sean Price and Rock, made waves in the mid 90s with their first album Nocturnal, which spawned the classic hit “Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka.” Their second album, Magnum Force, was another banger that included the hit ” I Ain’t Havin That.” Since their last release, Ruck has reinvented himself as Sean Price and released a series of successful albums. Rock has caught a few cases, but never stopped putting out hot music. The duo have also contributed to releases by their crew, the Boot Camp Click.
D.I.R.T. promises to be a must have for hardcore hip hop heads. Production duties are handled by Black Milk, Khrysis, Evidence, Marco Polo, EZ Mo Bee (!) and more. The album also includes guest appearances from Duck Down artists Buckshot, Smif N Wessun, Ruste Juxx, and The Representativz.
Here’s the tentative tracklisting:
1.) Intro
2.) Insane (Produced by Marco Polo)
3.) Chipmunk 3000 (Produced by Fatim)
4.) Everything Is Heltah Skeltah (Produced by ILL MIND)
5.) D.I.R.T. (Another Boot Camp Clik Yeah Song) (Produced by Khrysis)
6.) So Damn Tough f/Buckshot and Ruste Juxx (Produced by ILL MIND)
7.) WMD f/Smif N Wessun (Produced by M-Phazes)
8.) That’s Incredible (Produced by EZ Mo Bee)

Go cop that when it comes out. I think the Boot Camp Click is one of the best collectives out there and Heltah Skeltah is my favorite group from it. Get their new album and their old albums. Also try to get everything BCC has released. Duck Down/BCC is 100% pure hardcore hip hop.
Boot Camp Click appreciation post coming real soon.
Peace
