DJ Statik is a big part of Duck Down’s recent resurgance and is one of the top DJ’s in New York. He is from Lawrence (Boston, MA.) but moved to N.Y. in 2007 to pursue his career in music production full-time and build relationships with hip-hop acts. 

DJ Statik began making beats when he was 11 using a Gemini 16 sampler and he started working odd jobs when he was 12. He worked as a dishwasher at a restaurant, a cashier at Mc Donald’s, a packer at Fed-Ex, and an employee at Friendly’s (East Coast restaurant chain).

During his high school days DJ Statik was able to sustain himself DJing parties and clubs.

In 2000, DJ Statik pursued an audio production B.A. at Boston’s New England Institute of Art and started putting out his own mixtapes.

In 2003, he became a marketer with Reebok, G-Unit Records, Virgin Records, Capital, Universal Records, Diddy’s Vote or Die campaign as clients. 

In 2006, DJ Statik began releasing albums on his own label, Showoff Records and occasionally contributing production for other artists.

He has also overseen the careers of many rappers (Action Bronson, Joey Bada$, Pro Era, Jared Evan, Reks, and fellow Bay stater).

Duck Down's Tribute To Sean Price (Video)

The multifaceted Sean Price (whose métier started as one-half of dyad Heltah Skeltah) made a name for himself in the underground hip-hop community by just doing what he did best: destroying the competition with his agressive yet daedal flow and chancy sense of humor.

In 2005, Price released his Duck Down debut Money Bars which featured the singles: "Peep My Words", "Onionhead", "Heartburn", "Boom Bye Yeah", "Monkey Barz" and "Slapboxing." The album cover art was inspired by 1968 film Planet of the Apes.

In 2007, he followed up critically-hailed Money Bars with his sophomore album, Jesus Price Superstar.

In 2011, Sean Price, Guilty Simpson, and sought-after Detroit producer Black Milk formed super group Random Axe and released self-titled debut studio album produced solely by Black Milk on Duck Down Records.

In 2012, Price released his long-belated third and final studio album, Mic Tyson after many pushbacks.

Before passing away yesterday morning in his Brooklyn apartment, Saturday (August 8, 2015), The charismatic Brownsville emcee was preparing to release a 30-song mixtape entitled Songs In the Key of Price via his own imprint label Ruck Down Records on August 21, 2015.
