Black Moon Artist Snapshot:

The Brooklyn trio (DJ Evil Dee, 5FT, and Buckshot) broke ground with their 1993 debut, ENTA DA STAGE--a low-budget masterpiece that paved the way for 1990s acts like Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep. Evil Dee's loop-heavy production, which varied from soulful and upbeat to jazzed-based and moody, combined with the hard-edged vocals and violent lyricism of 5FT and Buckshot, and introduced a new form of underground NY hip-hop. A six-year hiatus followed before Black Moon's sophomore LP, WAR ZONE, dropped in 1999.

Review

Vibe (11/93, p.112) - "...ENTA DA STAGE [has] undiluted street stories, delivered with such intensity that they almost sound confessional...Black Moon is definitely work-in-progress, though..."
The Source (11/93, p.75) - 4 Stars - Slammin' - "...Black Moon's ENTA DA STAGE is a welcome return to the days when rap consistently reflected true musical and lyrical integrity....Make this jammie a priority..."

Title Note

Black Moon: 5 Ft. Excellerator, DJ Evil Dee, Buckshot Shorty.

Smif-N-Wessun: Tek & Steele (background vocals).

Additional personnel: Big Dru Ha, Everette "D.E.A." Lawson, Havoc, Mr. Walt, Lynn Blackwell (background vocals).

Recorded at D & D, New York, New York.

This is the defining album of East Coast crime rap, which was largely established by the Brooklyn-based Boot Camp Clik of MCs. ENTA DA STAGE is a classic in its genre, featuring deep-in-the-crates beats by DJ Evil Dee (who continues to have a presence in New York's underground hip-hop scene), lurid street imagery delivered by MCs Buckshot and 5T and a flavor forever reminiscent of early-'90s New York.

As much a social phenomenon as a congregation of MCs and DJs, the Boot Camp Clik spawned Smif-N-Wesson (who later changed their name to Cocoa Brovaz after the arms manufacturer commenced litigation), Heltah Skeltah and the Originoo Gunn Clappaz. ENTA DA STAGE contains the classics "Who's Got Da Props?", "How Many MC's…," "Buck Em Down," (a perfect example of Black Moon's fondness for choosing jazzy loops as the foundations for epic tales of criminal adventurism, a style perfected on "Shit iz Real") and the contagious "I Got Cha Opin." Buckshot and 5T's delivery styles are somewhat monotonous compared to rappers who came after them and might best be described as "blunted," but Evil Dee's production style will remain as much a benchmark of NY beat-making as Beats By the Pound's will of Southern playa rap.
