Get On Down

Boogie Down Productions, originally composed of Lawrence Kris "KRS-One" Parker, Scott "La Rock" Sterling, and Derrick "D-Nice" Jones, is a legendary hip-hop group. The name Boogie Down derives from a nickname for the South Bronx in New York City. Known for their thought-provoking lyrics and socially conscious messages, *Boogie Down Productions* has made a significant impact on the rap scene since their formation.

Influenced by the vibrant hip-hop culture of the 80s, *Boogie Down Productions* paved the way for future artists with their unique blend of intelligent rhymes and innovative beats. Their music tackles important issues such as social inequality, racism, and poverty while maintaining an infectious energy that captivates listeners.

With a sound that resonates with fans across generations, *Boogie Down Productions* continues to inspire aspiring artists today. If you enjoy the music of Big Daddy Kane, Eric B. & Rakim, Biz Markie, or any other artist from this golden era of hip-hop,* Boogie Down Productions* is definitely worth adding to your playlist.

Get On Down is a record label based in Boston, Massachusetts that specializes in reissues. Established in 2010, the label has become known for its high-quality releases and attention to detail. With a focus on bringing classic albums back into circulation, Get On Down has earned a reputation as a trusted source for music lovers and collectors alike.

One of the unique aspects of Get On Down is their commitment to preserving the original artwork and packaging of each release. Whether it's *James Brown*'s iconic "The Payback" or *Wu-Tang Clan*'s groundbreaking "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)," every album is carefully reproduced to capture the essence of the original release.

In addition to their reissue projects, Get On Down also collaborates with artists and labels to create limited edition releases under their [B]all branded labels. These exclusive offerings give fans an opportunity to own rare and collectible vinyl records from some of their favorite artists.

In its history Hip Hop has had a handful of stand-out years. And for many true fans there is little debate that 1988 was the true 'Golden Era'. Countless classic albums came out that year and&nbsp;By Any Means Necessary ranks high atop that list.

Following the fatal shooting of the groups DJ / Producer Scott La Rock in 1987, KRS One was determined to continue Boogie Down Productions despite the tragedy. Taking the group in a slightly different direction, adopting the moniker 'Teacher' and taking on social issues, KRS crafted an album that to this day still sounds fresh and exciting. From the moment the album starts with the infectious saxophone sample on "My Philosophy" or the Reggae influenced "Stop The Violence" to the straight up braggadocios "I'm Still #1", By Any Means Necessary proves why it's one of the most important and classic albums ever recorded.
