New York, NY – Born and raised in the place where Hiphop was born (NYC) and previously known throughout the world for his groundbreaking mixtapes, Tony Touch is a multitalented artist with many vices—producer, emcee, DJ, B-Boy and renowned tastemaker. But as the guest roster for his 2000 debut, “The Piece Maker” and 2002’s “The Last Of The Pro-Ricans” confirmed, Tony’s connections (as both LP’s included contributions from Eminem, Gang Starr, Fat Joe, Big Pun, Noreaga, Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Xzibit, Mobb Deep, De La Soul, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap) run nearly as deep as his attributes.
Tony Touch furthers those alliances with the second installment of his “Piece Maker” series, with the highly anticipated follow-up, “The Piece Maker 2,” which will be released on February 24, 2004. While Tony continues to handle most of the production duties, A-List producers RZA, Alchemist, Pete Rock and Psycho Les also contribute aural standouts as well.
Diversity is at a premium on “The Piece Maker 2,” as it is littered with stellar guest-spots from Platinum artists reaching every region of the Hiphop globe; West Coast representative Snoop Dogg conducts Sunday Morning service with “Chuuurch” and Ice-T, Kurupt & J-Ro take you on a trip thru Cali on “MC’s, Pimps, Gangsta’s.” The grimy street-aesthetic of NY is captured with Pete Rock, Large Professor & Masta Ace’s “Out Da Box” and The L.O.X.’s antagonistic “Who Want’s War” and P.Diddy, Black Rob & G Dep promise to keep dance floors heated with “Non-Stop.”
True to form, Tony waves the banner for his Spanish heritage proudly on “Como Suena” f/Don Chezina and the NYC Mixtape favorite “Ay, Ay, Ay” f/Sean Paul. The Piece Maker 2 even pulls at the heartstrings with the return of Slick Rick on “Trouble On The Westside Hwy” and gives Dead Prez another platform for their socially conscious stylings with “Touch 1.” The Final track listing for Piece Maker 2 is as follows:
