A New York City original since 1995, Duck Down Music has been powerfully representing the promise and artistry of Hip-Hop for 30 years and counting. A list of the artists who've collaborated on albums with the label reads like an encyclopedia of NYC rap history: Pharoahe Monch, KRS-One, Talib Kweli, Smif-N-Wessun, Black Moon, 9th Wonder, Sean Price, Statik Selektah, and on and on. As a completely independent distribution and marketing company, co-founders Drew Friedman and Kenyatta Blake have proven that the DIY spirit of Hip-Hop can nurture and sustain careers for decades. At this unforgettable anniversary party at Damrosch Park, organized by guest curator and the voice and personality of Spotify’s AI DJ, Xavier “X” Jernigan, Duck Down sets up shop for an evening of storytelling, celebration, and historic live performances from Duck Down favorites and surprise guests.
