Part of the celebrated '90s underground rap group
Black Moon (with producer
Evil Dee and fellow MC 5Ft),
Buckshot released his first solo album, The BDI Thug, in 1999 with Duckdown (which later reissued a longer version in 2003). In 2005, with help from producer
9th Wonder (
Little Brother,
Murs,
Jay-Z), he issued
Chemistry, an album that presented a more mature and less violent
Buckshot, and gave him back some of the recognition he once had had with
Black Moon. It worked well enough that the two decided to pair up again in 2008, releasing
The Formula in April of that year. ~ Marisa Brown
