Tuff City anthology of Old School group rap classics half on red vinyl, half on gold featuring Ultramagnetic MCs, PHD featuring Havoc from Mobb Deep, Flavor Unit featuring Queen Latifah, Spoonie Gee with The Treacherous Three feat. Kool Moe Dee, etc. Tuff City is pleased to present the best possible reissue program of Hip-Hop’s first decade. These reissues were made as a tribute to Hip Hops 50th Anniversary. Each volume represents an important facet of performers on Tuff City: The Solo MCs, The MC Crews, The DJs and The Female MCs.

Each volume features an inner sleeve with liner notes and bonus 7 insert. Each pressing consists of 750 on red vinyl and 750 of an opaque orange. A bonus 7 single is slipped in the cover encased in a Tuff City logo sleeve in the style of its iconic 12 singles. The series was also conceptualized as a multiset release to stand side by side with the classic Old School Rarities series (The Funky Drum Jams, The Electro Jams, The Linn Drum Jams & The Disco Jams) issued by our Ol Skool Flava imprint.

DJ Quik aka Beatbox Master Quick delivers a Scratch Attack. The 1982 classic Ah, Thats The Joint by another early legend DJ AJ closes out the second side.
