Crate Diggers x Tony Touch's Vinyl Collection

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Before we start digging through Tony Touch's crates [II], you need to dig through yours and make sure you picked up his latest album, The Piecemaker 3: Return of The 50 MC’s, which features umm pretty much everyone. And now on to Toca's latest piece of content, the NY DJ is the latest guest on Fuse's segment, Crate Diggers. After we hop in the time machine and get a throwback picture of a young mullet rockin' Tony in his banker days, we get right to the vinyl (a collection he estimates at 15k). The eclectic DJ takes us everywhere from Bambaataa to Wu-Tang to Ultra Naté to Judy Torres to Duke Ellington. After we get our fingers dusty, Toca talks about his B-Boy beginnings and how that led him to becoming a DJ/promoter. Get the full piece, below.
