TUFF CREW 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: The legendary Phiily collective Tuff Crew was the city's first-ever hip-hop supergroup. They famously toured the US as the warm-up act for 2Live Crew and also played with Public Enemy, Run-D.M.C., Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, LL Cool J, and many others. They dropped four albums in all and this is their celebrated debut long player, produced in collaboration with New Jersey's The Crown Rulers. It showcases their bass-heavy style, crisp drum beats and raw street lyrics with aggressive scratch DJing adding the final touches.

Review: The Record Store Day drops are coming in thick and fast now and for hip-hop fans this is a heavy one. Neither of these tunes have ever been on a 45 rpm together before. They are classics from the legendary Philly crew with hard breaks and headier bars on 'My Part Of Town' set over a jostling bassline and tough hits. On the flip is 'Mountain's World' which is a deeper and more vibes-joint with less in your face energy and a smarter wordplay as well as some super scratch-work.
