Tony Touch - Hip-Hop 86

If you don't have an XM Satellite Radio package than it's probably been awhile since you've heard fom the iconic Brooklyn DJ known as Tony Touch. While I'm sure many of us would've much rather seen him re-emerge with that new 50 Emcee's Tape he's been quietly promising in many a interview, this 86th installment of his famed and much revered "Hip-Hop" mixtape series is a pretty game substitute. If you've been snoozing on the latest and greatest singles from back east than have no fear, Toca will get you up to speed with his newest release.

Spanning over two decades now, Touch's "Hip-Hop" mixtapes were already the stuff of legend when I first started messing with them around 1997'. I remember loving the artist he used to have do the covers around tape 40 through 58....those joints just resonated with that good ole', independent as fuck, ground level, street corner feel of New York Hip-Hop. Even though Toca has halted the breakneck pace at which he drops his mixtapes and nowadays they aren't as heavily in demand as they once were, no. 86 proves to be a legitimate comeback swing for the fences, letting everyone in the ballpark know he still possesses that home run power. You just kinda get the feeling that he tried to sort of re-create that sensation that all his fans and I had back in 1997 with his earlier tapes that were always jampacked with the illest underground cuts....and he does a pretty admirable job n doing so....

Aside from Fat Joe's "Winding Me" and Jada's "Death Wish" (these two get negative cool points for continuing to use shitty ass Lil' Wayne guest spots man), I thought this was an excellent rundown of some of the best joints that should be in heavy circulation in the tri-state area. Mostly No. 86 follows suit with Toca's earlier formula for a good mixtape. True to his original style, Toca still reps majorly for good Hip-Hop music above all else. Delivering the joints that the hardcore underground heads want in "Whar", "Shootin'" and "Undescribable" as well as the joints that are sort of un-expected and under the radar like the 50 Cent collabo with DJ Premier. This mix never strays too far from the main point, all in all a pretty good joint to have layin around in the whip or near your stereo...
