==History==
''Duck Down'' (whose name derived from [[Boogie Down Productions]]' 1992 hit single of the same name) was originally established as a management company in 1994 to manage the careers of Buckshot's group Black Moon and Smif-N-Wessun.  In 1995, co-owners Drew "Dru Ha" Friedman and Kenyatta "Buckshot" Blake launched Duck Down Music.  After successful debut releases from Black Moon (''[[Enta da Stage]]'') and Smif-N-Wessun (''[[Dah Shinin']]''), Duck Down entered into a label distribution deal with [[Priority Records]], at the time [[EMI]]'s top hip hop label, which was home of [[N.W.A]] and [[Master P]]'s [[No Limit Records]].  Within the first year of the deal, Dru Ha & Buckshot introduced its two newest acts simultaneously: Heltah Skeltah and [[O.G.C.]] merging the two groups, forming a quintet, which they dubbed the Fab Five.  At Priority/EMI, Duck Down eventually brought over the rest of its core roster, which consisted of the Boot Camp Clik, members: Black Moon, Smif-N-Wessun, Heltah Skeltah, and O.G.C..  They released nine albums with Priority Records between 1995 and 2000.<ref>{{cite web|last=Markman|first=Rob|title=Duck Down, Home of the Originoo Backpackers|url=http://www.xxlmag.com/bloggers/2009/10/duck-down-home-of-the-originoo-backpackers/|publisher=XXLMag.com|access-date=14 October 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Sewer|first=Jesse|title=Duck Down 15 Year Anniversary|url=http://newyork.timeout.com/music-nightlife/music/75079/duck-down-15-year-anniversary|publisher=TimeOutNY}}</ref>

In 2002, Duck Down entered a new physical distribution partnership with [[Navarre Corporation]] for their CD and DVD products in the U.S. and Canada. Duck Down retained its Digital Distribution rights and has its own direct deal with [[iTunes]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Firecloud|first=Johnny|title=Duck Down Makes Direct Deal With iTunes|url=http://www.craveonline.com/music/articles/142034-duck-down-makes-direct-deal-with-itunes|publisher=Crave Online|access-date=2011-04-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110926093938/http://www.craveonline.com/music/articles/142034-duck-down-makes-direct-deal-with-itunes|archive-date=2011-09-26|url-status=dead}}</ref>  Duck Down produces, manufactures and markets its products independently.

In 2005, Duck Down released ''[[Monkey Barz]]'' (Sean Price's solo debut), ''[[Chemistry (Buckshot album)|Chemistry]]'' (a collaborative album between Buckshot & producer 9th Wonder) and ''[[Smif 'n' Wessun: Reloaded]]''.  Collectively, the three albums cover Artwork was created by clothing designer [[Marc Ecko]] and marketed under the campaign: "''Triple Threat''".<ref>{{cite web|title=Duck Down Records Readies Three-CD Triple Threat Box Set|url=http://www.vibe.com/mt/2009/11/duck-down-records-readies-three-cd-triple-threat-box-set|publisher=Vibe.com|access-date=17 November 2009|date=2009-11-17}}</ref>

In 2007, Duck Down switched distribution to [[Koch Records]] (now [[E1 Music]])<ref>{{cite web|title=eOne Distribution US - Who We Distribute|url=http://us.eonedistribution.com/who-we-distribute|website=us.eonedistribution.com|publisher=eOne Distribution|access-date=2014-07-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140811224214/http://us.eonedistribution.com/who-we-distribute|archive-date=2014-08-11|url-status=dead}}</ref> and began expanding its roster as they released albums from [[Special Teamz]]'s 2007 ''[[Stereotypez]]'', Kidz in the Hall's 2008 ''[[The In Crowd (Kidz in the Hall album)|The In Crowd]]'' and 2010 ''[[Land of Make Believe (Kidz in the Hall album)|Land of Make Believe]]'', as well as Cypress Hill's front man B-Real's 2009 solo LP ''[[Smoke N Mirrors]]''<ref>{{cite web|last=Dukes|first=Will|title=B-Real 'Smoke N Mirrors' Album Review|url=http://www.spin.com/reviews/b-real-smoke-n-mirrors-duck-down|publisher=SPIN|date=2009-02-02}}</ref>  and KRS-One & Buckshot's 2009 ''[[Survival Skills]]'' - represented a few examples of albums showing the labels growing diversity.

In 2011, in addition to releasing Pharoahe Monch's ''[[W.A.R. (We Are Renegades)]]'' album, Duck Down Music formed 3D, a music-marketing and consulting firm with its own distribution network that's experienced in navigating the indie landscape.  Executing a strategy where 3D provides General Management for Artist-owned indie sub-labels such as [[Talib Kweli]]'s Javotti Media (''[[Gutter Rainbows]]'')<ref>{{cite web|last=Zisook|first=Brian|title=TALIB KWELI JUMPS "IN THE MIX" [DJBOOTH INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE]|url=http://www.djbooth.net/index/news/entry/talib-kweli-in-mix-0120111/|publisher=DJBooth.net|access-date=20 January 2011}}</ref>  and Blue Scholars.<ref>{{cite web|last=Houghton|first=Bruce|title=Another New Model: Label Signed By Artist|date=3 August 2009|url=http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2009/08/another-new-model-label-signed-by-artist.html|publisher=Hypebot.com|access-date=29 August 2011}}</ref>  This allowed artists to tap into 3D's expertise, relationships, and networks, while retaining control of their projects and ownerships of their masters.  Expanded services from 3D are a Music Supervision Department that places clients songs in film, TV, and video games and creation and sales of Artist Merchandising.

2012, saw the releases of [[Sean Price]]’s highly anticipated ''[[Mic Tyson]]'' album, Skyzoo’s ''[[A Dream Deferred (album)|A Dream Deferred]]'',’ 9th Wonder & Buckshot's [[The Solution (Buckshot and 9th Wonder album)|3rd collaborative album]] and releases from acts [[Murs (rapper)|Murs]] & [[Fashawn]] and [[De La Soul]]’s [[Plug 1 & Plug 2 Present... First Serve|Plug 1 & Plug 2]]. 2012 also saw the launch of Duck Down Visuals, a production division dedicated to documenting various artists and the lifestyle of their music through self-produced visual shorts. This included several viral Sean Price skits, profiles on up and coming acts; [[Freddie Gibbs]], [[Ab-Soul]] etc., and special series like Verse Unheard.

In 2013, Duck Down Music was retained as project management for [[Talib Kweli]]'s latest album, ''[[Prisoner of Conscious]]'', distributed by [[EMI|EMI Label Services]]. Overseeing album deliverables, allocation of budget, co-op approvals, international distribution & overall marketing.  Duck Down Music's 3D Division was also retained to consult for Cinematic Music Group assisting with [[Joey Bada$$]] project management services with their distributor [[RED Distribution]].
