Absolute legend, Duck Down made like 4 classic albums in as many years with "Enta Da Stage", "Da Shinin", "Nocturnal" and "Da Storm". His verse on "U Da Man" still gets me hyped up

I used to always replace this guy's name with "Hoo-Ha (2x)" in Busta Rhymes' song. "Druh-Ha (2x) got you all in check." 😂. It's been 13 years since I uttered this. Salute 😅🫡🔥
