General Steele of Smif N Wessun Presents: Welcome To Bucktown
Production on the album is from Da Beatminerz (of Black Moon), DJ Revolution, Ayatollah, 7VEN H.D., Che Triumph, Sic Beats, J. Scrilla, Kevorkian & Suaze.
Welcome to Bucktown, the soundtrack, was inspired by the 1975 Blaxploitation film Bucktown. The soundtrack takes the listener through modern day Bucktown, AKA Brooklyn, as coined by the rap duo Smif-N-Wessun circa 1994, and explores the evolution and current conditions through the eyes of hip-hop Brooklyn artists. General Steele proclaims "I didn't try to copy the film or the soundtrack, but the concept and the feel of it. I was able to relate to what they where going through with the police and with their own comrades and I wanted to depict that vibe & energy with the songs and the artwork."
Bucktown USA Entertainment and Methods NYC clothing have also joined forces to debut the limited edition 'Welcome To Bucktown' T-shirt line for the album. The line features 3 men's and 2 women's designs and can be purchased by visiting www.methodsnyc.com or www.store.duckdown.com
