O.G.C., Originoo Gunn Clappaz, are back with new music. "Make Peace" is produced by Franchise and comes from Starang Wondah, Louieville Sluggah and Top Dog, three of the eight members that make up Boot Camp Clik, the Brooklyn collective that alongside Black Moon, Smif-N-Wessun and Heltah Skeltah defined the hard East Coast underground sound of the mid to late 1990s.

For anyone who needs the context: Boot Camp Clik is Brooklyn's answer to Wu-Tang. Not in the sense that the two sound alike, but in the sense that they represent the same thing for their borough and their era. A collective of rappers who built their own ecosystem, independent, raw, consistent, with production anchored by Da Beatminerz and an aesthetic that never bowed to commercial pressure. O.G.C.'s 1996 debut Da Storm sold 250,000 copies and is still regarded as an underground classic. "Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshkah," their collaboration with Heltah Skeltah under the Fab 5 name, cracked the Billboard Hot 100. That's the pedigree.
In 2025 Boot Camp Clik embarked on a global tour commemorating three decades of Duck Down Music. In 2026 the collective remains active, with members regularly dropping collaborative work and solo projects. "Make Peace" is O.G.C. doing what they have always done: showing up, delivering bars, keeping the standard high.
Franchise builds a beat that fits the moment. Nothing needs to be explained. Veterans in the booth, classic mentality, new music.
