Dah Shinin’

Dah Shinin' is the debut album by Hip Hop duo Smif-N-Wessun, released on January 10, 1995 through Wreck Records. Although Black Moon released their debut album, ‘Enta da Stage’, in 1993, this release is usually considered to be the trend-setting album for the next few releases by the Boot Camp Clique, or B.C.C. for short, largely due to the album’s consistently dark and grimy production as provided by Da Beatminerz in combination with how both Tek and Steele, each one paying their ‘paying their dues’ in the rap game, rapped their verses entirely in one-takes as recorded. The overall smooth sound of the product is noticeably consistent in tone as a result, which matches up perfectly with the numerous reggae influences introduced via production and patois singing.
