Sean Price is an American rapper from Brooklyn, New York, a member of the Hip Hop supergroup Boot Camp Clik. He came to fame as one-half of the duo Heltah Skeltah [1], performing under the name Ruckus, or in short Ruck, along with partner Rock.

In 1997, Ruck and the entire Boot Camp Clik released their first group album, For the People. The group abandoned their grimy, sample-heavy production for the first time, replaced by live-instrumentation.[citation needed] Heltah Skeltah returned in 1998 with their second album, Magnum Force. The album, like For the People, was met with unspectacular reviews and mediocre sales, despite the inclusion of the duo's second Hot 100 hit, "I Ain't Havin' That". After a stream of similarly disappointing releases, Priority Records dropped Duck Down from their distribution deal. Returning in 2001 under his birth name, Price released a popular underground single with "Don't Say Shit to Ruck". The Clik, minus Rock, returned in 2002 with a new record deal, and released their second group album, The Chosen Few. 2004 saw the release of a mixtape titled Donkey Sean Jr., featuring a several of the rapper's past singles and tracks, as well as newly recorded material.
