Co-owner of **Duck Down Music**, **Buckshot's** rich history dates back to his **Black Moon** days, where he recorded the classic hits, *"Gotcha Opin," "How Many Emcees," "Buck Em Down*," and more. Buckshot re-invented himself in 2005 by joining forces with Grammy-Award winning producer, **9th Wonder**, whom he's gone on to record two studio albums with (*Chemistry and The Formula*). In late 2009, Buckshot collaborated with **KRS-ONE** for their album *SURVIVAL SKILLS* which continues to sell well. Buckshot is now gearing up for his third studio album with 9th Wonder entitled *"The Solution",* along with a 'How To' book about the music industry called *"Common Knowledgy of the Entertainment Industry*" which will be accompanied by an audio download card within the book.
