Black Moon

Black Moon is an American hip hop group, consisting of members Buckshot, 5 ft and DJ Evil Dee (of Da Beatminerz). The group were most notable for their debut album Enta da Stage, and their affiliation with the Boot Camp Clik.. Black Moon (backronymed as Brothers who Lyrically Act and Combine Kickin Music Out On Nations) debuted in 1992, with the release of the single "Who Got Da Props?". The song became an underground phenomenon, and charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
