To commemorate the 25th anniversary of their classic debut album Dah Shinin’, Smif-N-Wessun have dropped off an updated version of its lead single entitled “Bucktown 360.”

Tek and Steele teamed up with two of the track’s original producers, DJ Evil Dee and Mr. Walt of Da Beatminerz, to pay a 360-degree homage to their beloved Brooklyn. “Bucktown 360” serves as a nostalgic trip down memory lane through the eyes and experiences of the hip-hop duo. “We analyze our collection, as well as our individual successes and failures throughout this amazing journey,” Tek and Steele said in a statement. “As we do that, we always find ourselves 360 degrees back home in Bucktown.”

Stream Smif-N-Wessun’s “Bucktown 360” on SoundCloud.
