Duck Down Records, home of the Boot Camp Clik, has signed on with Navarre Corporation in a new distribution deal. The label was previously distributed by Koch Entertainment. According to Duck Down CEO, Dru Ha, the split with Koch was amicable. “After spending three years with Koch Distribution our deal was coming to an end and we decided it would be best to go in a new direction,” Duck Down CEO Dru Ha told AllHipHop.com. “Frankly, it was getting very crowded at Koch and we felt we needed a little more attention from our distributor than we were getting.” Dru Ha also expressed how important the new deal is for the company still being able to keep it’s released date schedule and increase profits for the label. “We were able to make the switch as seamlessly as possible where we only slightly altered the original Triple Threat release dates," Dru Ha said. The new release for the Triple Threat project are: Sean Price Monkey Barz May 31st, 9th Wonder and Buckshot’s Chemistry on July 12 and Tek-n-Steele Smif-n-Wessun Reloaded in August. Dru Ha said fans can expect to see the impact of the new deal immediately, as Navarre has its sights set on Hip-Hop. “Navarre is an exciting place to be because they are hungry to become the next home for independent Hip-Hop and they rolled out the red carpet to sign us.”
