Tuff Crew emerged from Pennsylvania’s rap scene in the 1980s and became known for bass-heavy production, Roland TR-808 drums, E-mu SP-12 sampling, aggressive scratching, and direct street-oriented lyrics. The group performed alongside major acts including Public Enemy, Run-D.M.C., Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, and others.The final track, “My Part Of Town (Remix),” revisits a song closely associated with the group’s classic period. “My Part Of Town” originally became one of Tuff Crew’s notable recordings and reached number 23 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. The new version provides a direct link between the group’s earlier Philadelphia material and its return to recording.Tuff Crew – Back By Dope Demand therefore represents both a continuation and revival of the group’s Philadelphia hip-hop legacy, pairing new recordings with a modern reinterpretation of a classic track.
