Description
Representing Brownsville & Bed Stuy Brooklyn, rap duo Smif-N-Wessun, Tek and Steele, first appeared on Black Moon’s debut album Enta Da Stage in 1993. Adding relentless rhymes to tracks "U da Man" and "Black Smif N' Wessun," the pair paved the way for the Brooklyn Supergroup Boot Camp Clik.
Smif-N-Wessun released their classic debut Dah Shinin’ January 10, 1995 on Nervous Records. The album was noted for its hardcore lyrical content and gritty production, handled by Da Beatminerz production crew, and was selected as one of
The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums of all time.
This year marks 20 years of Smif-N-Wessun’s “Still Shinin.” Indeed, the duo clearly live up to the title. In 2024, they’re very much Still Shinin.
Following 30 years of their iconic single ‘Bucktown’, the duo helped change the shape of the industry from the inside-out. In the early 90’s, Smif-N-Wessun had come to shock, entertain, and rip open a new reality to the listeners.
Thanks to the dark, murky rhymes alongside bouncin’, often jazz-infused melodies with the Beatminerz top notch beats, singles like ‘Bucktown’ and ‘Wontime’ became rap classics.
