Smif-N-Wessun (aka Cocoa Brovaz) is a hip hop duo consisting of members Tek (Tekomin Williams) and Steele (Darrell Yates). Smif-N-Wessun comprise two-eighths of the Brownsville, Brooklyn supergroup Boot Camp Clik, with Buckshot, Heltah Skeltah and O.G.C. Both members are known for their Jamaican Patois during their raps, which was more evident during the earlier stages of their career.
History
The duo debuted on Black Moon's 1993 album Enta da Stage, appearing on the tracks "Blac Smif-N-Wessun" and "U Da Man". They released their first single "Bucktown" b/w "Let's Git It On" in early 1994. "Bucktown" became an underground smash, and gave the group considerable hype for their debut album, Dah Shinin', released in January 1995. The album debuted in the top 5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and went on to sell over 300,000 copies in the United States. Along with "Bucktown," the album featured the singles "Wrekonize" b/w "Sound Bwoy Bureill" and "Wontime" b/w "Stand Strong." Dah Shinin became an influential album in the hardcore New Yorkhip hop scene of the mid-1990s, and is considered a rap classic. Soon after the release of their debut, Smif-N-Wessun were sued with a cease and desist order over their group name by the Smith & Wesson firearms company. To avoid the lawsuit, they decided to change their name to the Cocoa Brovaz in 1996.
In 1996, Smif-N-Wessun and the Boot Camp Clik flew to Los Angeles to collaborate and record an album with Death Row Records artist, Makaveli. The album was titled "One Nation." 2Pac planned to release it with two discs, one titled "WestCoast" and the other titled "EastCoast." Fat Joe was supposed to fly to L.A. but never turned up. Boot Camp Clik, Snoop Dogg, Outlawz, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Wu-Tang Clan, Luniz, Kokane, Spice 1 and others were also going to be featured on the album.
Benjamin Miller (born May 5, 1983), better known by his stage name Wrekonize is an American underground rapper and current member of Miami band ¡Mayday!. He is currently signed to Tech N9ne's Strange Music record label.
Early life
Born in London, England, Wrekonize was raised in a cultured household of both British and African descent. His mother was England born and father had immigrated to England from Cape Town, South Africa. Moving to the U.S. in 1988, his parents had formed a local band together. They performed on occasion with MC Guru for his original Jazzmatazz album. At the age of 11, Wrekonize was introduced to Guru, who helped inspire him to make his own music.
At the age of 13, Wrekonize was part of the popular cult of graffiti. Attempting to imitate the works of Miami graffiti artistsOs Gêmeos, he spotted "Wrekonize" in Martha Cooper's Subway Art book. Admiring the graphic he chose to adopt it as his stage name because to him it meant, "observant and always alert to the surrounding and the people in them".

Smif-N-Wessun: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Sept. 17, 2018 | Abby O'Neill -- Brooklyn-bred hip-hop duo Smif-N-Wessun – consisting of partners in rhyme, Steele and Tek – illuminated the Tiny Desk with their signature, 80-proof poetry: straight, no chaser. Their music, inspired by their gritty and pre-gentrified Bedford-Stuyvesant and Brownsville neighborhoods, offers the vocabulary of veterans who survived the grimy streets. These original members of the Duck Down Records group Boot Camp Click represent quintessential '90s true-school hip-hop from the bedrock, when Timberland boots were standard issue. Backing Steele and Tek for the first time is D.C.'s own Black Alley band.

Sept. 17, 2018 | Abby O'Neill -- Brooklyn-bred hip-hop duo Smif-N-Wessun – consisting of partners in rhyme, Steele and Tek – illuminated the Tiny Desk with their signature, 80-proof poetry: straight, no chaser. Their music, inspired by their gritty and pre-gentrified Bedford-Stuyvesant and Brownsville neighborhoods, offers the vocabulary of veterans who survived the grimy streets. These original members of the Duck Down Records group Boot Camp Click represent quintessential '90s true-school hip-hop from the bedrock, when Timberland boots were standard issue. Backing Steele and Tek for the first time is D.C.'s own Black Alley band.
Smif-N-Wessun set things off with their classic debut single "Bucktown," an ode to their native Brooklyn, which uses their love for lyrical clapbacks as an allegory for overcoming the violence-ridden reality of their wonder years. Their undeniable Gemini chemistry - clearly the byproduct of a 20-plus year friendship - is on full display. Throughout the performance, the two emcees dance, share easy banter and express their spiritual connection to the music they've created over the years.
Things climax when the two perform "Stand Strong," another favorite from their debut album Dah Shinin'. Anchored by the mantra, "I never ran / never will," the tune receives a refreshing update, courtesy of Black Alley. Driven by the live interpolation of their Beatminerz-produced tracks, the music decries the struggles of late-stage capitalism and the plight of the disenfranchised. It's a revelation of love, life, and brotherhood in an era when the antiheroes were really just the ones cunning enough to avoid becoming victims. That survivor's drive is personified when Steele lets his guard down during the performance and gifts the audience a little boogie, while referring to the "holy ghost" that has come over him.
The set concludes with an exclusive premier of their new single, "One Time," from their forthcoming album, The All, produced by 9th Wonder & The Soul Council.

LYRICS:
33 Knee deep no turning back
Knees weak from the burning track
Free speech off churning yak
Now I’m three sheets like Bernie Mac
I’m a drink champ that’s word to E
Word To NORE Serve us 3
Next round's my courtesy
So let’s do shots till we feel the third degree
talking awesome on and popping
Rock for the commandants that palm the profit
I been on a lawless ride beyond the coffin
I just wanna bomb the office sorry bosses
Tried to be civilized
but ya paying us small and we never been the to type be minimized
I got plenty of people incentivized
to come burn this down lemme tell you why
Breaking bad the paper stack is hateful and baked in fact
it’s basically enabled the cake to cast a shameful mask of angels
That Damien has to shape and blast the angles
I don’t wanna stay long Plus I got a casual battle with Satan
You ever heard a Mayday song
well you know that Wrekonize liable to spit Napalm
Rhyming with A-aron
Got a nice plaque from the bat and the snake huh
Now I’m just trying to figure out
how to get another one and finally get around the 8 ball
Hate to be late y’all
but its taken quite a while for my profile to make calls
Started as a unsure teen now at 36 chambers
I’m feeling like it’s yay tall
Walk in the great hall
I’m like what’s good in the hood with the face off
A bunch of fake killers on beats just leave stained drawers in the meet like paint ball
Bang Bang bang ya Nobody believe you we training to aim on
You’re gonna need a Propain campaign
if you ever wanna flame up the game like 8off
Feel the Burn skin fades off
anybody walking around when I lay laws
You got on the mic and they felt hot too
but it turned out you burned like Madoff
We bang beats never they soft
They take lunches to play golf
They make fun of the way all
all us of live and we let em get the playoffs
Bitch get up out your seats and leave the booze and
We the people oversee the movement
We the freedom fighters for the music
No need to be finicky for losers
Gimmicky was never the solution
I’ll be building up a realer schooling
You can keep the silliest of students
Tonight I might hop a plane and fly off the range
Stepped back in and a lot has changed
I might stop the rain and buy stock today
Rock the range and here’s a proclamation
Wreking crew is the indoctrination
Wreking tunes is just an occupation
On my way to prop up the population and I’m gone

Sept. 17, 2018 | Abby O'Neill -- Brooklyn-bred hip-hop duo Smif-N-Wessun – consisting of partners in rhyme, Steele and Tek – illuminated the Tiny Desk with their signature, 80-proof poetry: straight, no chaser. Their music, inspired by their gritty and pre-gentrified Bedford-Stuyvesant and Brownsville neighborhoods, offers the vocabulary of veterans who survived the grimy streets. These original members of the Duck Down Records group Boot Camp Click represent quintessential '90s true-school hip-hop from the bedrock, when Timberland boots were standard issue. Backing Steele and Tek for the first time is D.C.'s own Black Alley band.
Smif-N-Wessun set things off with their classic debut single "Bucktown," an ode to their native Brooklyn, which uses their love for lyrical clapbacks as an allegory for overcoming the violence-ridden reality of their wonder years. Their undeniable Gemini chemistry - clearly the byproduct of a 20-plus year friendship - is on full display. Throughout the performance, the two emcees dance, share easy banter and express their spiritual connection to the music they've created over the years.
Things climax when the two perform "Stand Strong," another favorite from their debut album Dah Shinin'. Anchored by the mantra, "I never ran / never will," the tune receives a refreshing update, courtesy of Black Alley. Driven by the live interpolation of their Beatminerz-produced tracks, the music decries the struggles of late-stage capitalism and the plight of the disenfranchised. It's a revelation of love, life, and brotherhood in an era when the antiheroes were really just the ones cunning enough to avoid becoming victims. That survivor's drive is personified when Steele lets his guard down during the performance and gifts the audience a little boogie, while referring to the "holy ghost" that has come over him.
The set concludes with an exclusive premier of their new single, "One Time," from their forthcoming album, The All, produced by 9th Wonder & The Soul Council.

#DuckDownMusic #SmifNWessun #LetItGo
Smif-N-Wessun (aka Cocoa Brovaz) is a hip hop duo consisting of members Tek (Tekomin Williams) and Steele (Darrell Yates). Smif-N-Wessun comprise two-eighths of the Brownsville, Brooklyn supergroup Boot Camp Clik, with Buckshot, Heltah Skeltah and O.G.C. Both members are known for their Jamaican Patois during their raps, which was more evident during the earlier stages of their career.
History
The duo debuted on Black Moon's 1993 album Enta da Stage, appearing on the tracks "Blac Smif-N-Wessun" and "U Da Man". They released their first single "Bucktown" b/w "Let's Git It On" in early 1994. "Bucktown" became an underground smash, and gave the group considerable hype for their debut album, Dah Shinin', released in January 1995. The album debuted in the top 5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and went on to sell over 300,000 copies in the United States. Along with "Bucktown," the album featured the singles "Wrekonize" b/w "Sound Bwoy Bureill" and "Wontime" b/w "Stand Strong." Dah Shinin became an influential album in the hardcore New Yorkhip hop scene of the mid-1990s, and is considered a rap classic. Soon after the release of their debut, Smif-N-Wessun were sued with a cease and desist order over their group name by the Smith & Wesson firearms company. To avoid the lawsuit, they decided to change their name to the Cocoa Brovaz in 1996.
In 1996, Smif-N-Wessun and the Boot Camp Clik flew to Los Angeles to collaborate and record an album with Death Row Records artist, Makaveli. The album was titled "One Nation." 2Pac planned to release it with two discs, one titled "WestCoast" and the other titled "EastCoast." Fat Joe was supposed to fly to L.A. but never turned up. Boot Camp Clik, Snoop Dogg, Outlawz, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Wu-Tang Clan, Luniz, Kokane, Spice 1 and others were also going to be featured on the album.

What up? I heard that you got a little prob' Wit the way that we roll and the heads we done robbed Stickin' and flickin' the bangers, thrown them out through ya neck Another beat down inflicted by that nigga Tek And for ya back, establish, yea I got a sharp dagger And a left hook that'll cause ya jaw bone to shatter Whose skilled enough to come test the weeded two Titans from Bucktown, that'll burn through ya crew I got a vibe from the session in the back When niggas is shaft on the ground puffin' meth and kickin' raps Smif-N-Wessun comin' wit nuff buds and skunk Fake the funk and get found dead in the trunk All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize Back again, make room for the boom Puffin' the lye, gettin' high to a beat minus two Choke my yak, is where I lives at and lotta rats Cooch and pain is my brain, so I don't sweat that Instead I mack wit a Tek and a Dog, my man Ruckus and Rock And yo Rippa, what up doc? The deals going down like this None affect the mouth, watch ya lips and my boots do a French kiss Puttin' an end to those who tend to get me aggravated I'm tired of countin' dues and addin' up the years we waited Be on the lookout for these mad blunts smokin' Keep ya girl away from me, 'cuz I won't hesitate to stroke it All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize I'm feelin' the rush from the cannabis plant But I can't lamp 'cuz niggas get me amped Talkin' this and that but my raps formats phat And I slap cats that come miss the stand backs Never could I ever agree on Cuttin' loose a lot of mic troops that I roll wit for eons Be on ya tippy top or ya crisply crop By them crooked cops or the local cop blockers on ya block I watch my back when for delf Some say the buzz, but I say the fuzz bad for my health Huh, critics could get banged like did it Bowl, first I get lifted wit my click before up in a show So, I say what I mean, mean what I say Do what I do, and me not play Say young God for punks who play hard Don't be surprised, I'm pullin' ya card, ya better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Real heads on the rise, wrekonize You better wrekonize All heads realize, wrekonize Smif-N-Wessun on the rise
I’m biased, but for me, it would be the Helly Hansen I wore in the Smif-N-Wessun music video for “Wrekonize.” We shot it in my neighborhood of Brownsville in Brooklyn and all I can think of is the little kids who were so excited to see me wearing it.
