The "sophomore jinx" is any critically acclaimed artist's greatest fear: you've had your whole life to come up with your first album; do you have it in you to follow it up just a year or two later? However, for Buckshot, 5ft. and DJ Evil Dee, add publicized legal battles with their former label and surmounting anticipation since 1993's classic debut, Enta da Stage, to their list of worries. On War Zone, the trio also known as Black Moon continues with the roles it defined on its first album: Buckshot as the dominant rhyme slayer, 5ft. playing second lyricist, and Evil Dee and Da Beatminerz handling the production duties. "Onslaught" is the album's powerful opener, and it pairs Buckshot's matured but still ferocious lyrical flow with the always-powerful Busta Rhymes on the hook. (Other guests include A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip, Heather B, and the Cocoa Brovaz.) In its entirety, War Zone lacks the energy of the group's debut, but tracks such as "War Zone" and "Anialation" (which pairs 5ft. with M.O.P.) prove that the sophomore jinx didn't land on Black Moon. --Celine Wong
Vibe
War Zone uses slower tempos, and Buck and 5 Ft. have lost their stick-up-kid mentalities. They're still hardcore, but their perspectives on life have changed.

Bringing the heavy artillery to the War Zone, January 3, 2006
Reviewer: Shawn L. Ferguson "strictly underground/no mainstream/no frills" (Paterson, NJ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Black Moon's second release "Warzone" brought changes along with it....Buckshot dropping the "Shorty" from his name, the record label change to Priority Records, the absence of 5FT(was incarcerated during the making of this release)but to their benefit, frontman Buckshot represents the group well throughout the album including several guest appearances from the likes of Busta Rhymes, Heather B and the other members of the Bootcamp Clik to name a few. On time delivery and that grimy Beatminerz production is what carries this album to an elevated status that hip hop fans will admire. As stated in my review for Enta Da Stage, 5FT never received the credit he deserved due to his limited appearances on Black Moon albums but what he bought to the table would forever be etched in my memory and could only hope that if Black Moon were to ever release another album, that 5FT would hopefully get more time to shine. However, on the strength of this album, this is a must have gem.

Zoned Out, September 17, 2005
Reviewer: Carltouis Stevenson (Angeles Mesa, Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Black Moon hiatus of five years return with their sophomore release, War Zone with results almost as good as their debut. Buckshot, Evil Dee & 5 Ft. relied on the production of previous producers, Da Beatminerz to create the foundation for the group. Busta Rhymes helped out on the hook on "The Onslaught". The title track contains a track with space effects and sounds where Buckshot and 5 Ft. take the war to their enemy's front door. "This Is What It Sounds Like" has ancient sounds and feels that's nearly calming and laid back. Asking competitors to war with "Come Get Some" featuring Louieville Sluggah of O.G.C. as Buckshot enters with two shots. On to a more hypnotic track on "Weight of the World" as the Moon maintains on their struggles and life experiences. If lyrics is what you miss, "One-Two" is a good example over a sample that emphases the grimy rhymes of Black Moon. They take it back to the old school with "Two Turntables & A Mic". This is probably the only or almost commercial appeal. "Annihilation" featuring M.O.P & Teflon was just that to add to the war theme of the album. Prepare yourself to entering the War Zone if you're aiming for the stars.

Dug in dah Vaults and struck gold, January 3, 2006
Reviewer: Shawn L. Ferguson "strictly underground/no mainstream/no frills" (Paterson, NJ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Black Moon unfortunately never experienced fame and fortune like many "sellout" mainstream artists do nowadays, but real hip hop fans have always loved and respected what they brought to the table. Diggin' in dah Vaults is a collaboration of Black Moon's greatest hits...many of the songs are either from their debut album "Enta Da Stage", the album's remixes or B-sides to their successful singles. The CD insert also provides a timeline of Black Moon's rise(a nice addition). This compilation is not intended for rookies of the Black Moon experience and those without an appreciation for real hip hop and not the typical braggadocio rap. Real hip hop heads will appreciate this album from one of the greatest trios to set foot in hip hop.
