The BDI Thug is the solo debut from hip-hop artist Buckshot of the group Black Moon, and the collective Boot Camp Clik. The album received harsh reviews, and sales were cut short after Buck's label was dropped from their distribution deal. The title BDI Thug references the nickname 2Pac gave to Buckshot in the summer of 1996 during the recording of the unreleased One Nation album.
The BDI Thug was re-released by Duck Down Records in 2003 with a number of bonus tracks.
