BUCKSHOT Released From The Hospital

Bucktown, NY- October 2nd-2008
After spending 8 days hospitalized in intensive care, the legendary MC, Buckshot, has been released from the hospital, and is now resting at his home in Brooklyn, NY. Upon returning from a 3 week European Tour last week, the Black Moon and Boot Camp Clik frontman suffered a series of seizures. While it's still unclear what caused the seizures, Doctors believe that Buckshot was physically drained and became severely dehydrated to the extent that caused his body to shut down and suffer 9 seizures in less than 1 day. Buckshot was in good spirits today as he left the hospital, and is looking forward to his next endeavors as he prepares to finish his group project with KRS-ONE, begin work on his third album with super-producer 9th Wonder, as well as a 4th studio album from BLACK MOON (DJ EVIL DEE and 5FT).

In a statement this morning, Buckshot said "I want to thank all the fans who called and wrote emails extending their well wishes and prayers. All the support helped me recover that much quicker."

Life, Elevation, & Maintaining - The Moon is still Black

This photo was taken in 2004 for the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC, which was our first time meeting some of the members Black Moon. A few weeks ago we hooked up with Sean “Ope” Williams a.k.a Paper Chasr" who has been working on a documentary called "Know you got Sole" which you can find here:

Sean contacted us and said we had to meet with Evil Dee and 5 Ft. at Sputnik (currently managed by Vin Black)
which is one of the gems in Bucktown USA aka Brooklyn It was truly a "flashback" on how I used to listen to this legendary group back in High School and actually seeing them live and NOW collaborating with them on an up & coming project (thanks to Sean of course).

This is how things evolve once you work hard at what you do and stick to it.
We really got to sit down and throw things on the table and realizing that they were in the ""STRUGGLE" just like us. Besides just getting to know them as an artist but also finding out who they really were as individuals and how they found their true love which brought us all together which is Hip Hop.

Did you know? 5FT and Evil met back in Bushwick High School & had a group called Unique Image. They met Buckshot in Brownsville afterwards and since they all shared the same dreams at the time, 5 FT decided it would be a good idea to bring them all together and the rest is history....Will Black Moon come back with another album? Only time will tell.

You are probably wondering whats been going on with 5FT now? You are going to have to wait and find out. I can give you a hint, he's workin on a solo album with Evil. The goal now for 5FT is to bring hip hop back to its roots and make it global.
