Black Moon

by John BushThey didn''t gain as much critical hype as other acts in the independent rap scene (perhaps due to a laid-back release schedule), but Black Moon has been one of its better acts. Buckshot, 5Ft, and DJ Evil Dee debuted in 1993 with Enta da Stage, an excellent album with plenty of old-school vibes on singles like "How Many Emcees" and "Who Got the Props." The remix album Diggin'' in dah Vaults followed in 1996, and second album War Zone finally dropped on Priority in early 1999. Third LP Total Eclipse appeared in 2003 on Duck Down.
