Veteran deejay, producer and mixtape master Tony Touch has been on hiatus for some time, from releasing albums. His 2000 debut, The Piece Maker included appearances from Wu-Tang Clan, Gang Starr and Mos Def, among others. After a 2004 follow-up, the onetime Tommy Boy Records, and later Koch Records artist, appeared to focus on his Toca Tuesdays Shade 45 radio show and events.
Yesterday (April 4), Tony Toca announced that he’s reached a new agreement with Sony/Red to release Piece Maker 3 (50 MC’s Reunion). The June 25 retail mixtape will pay homage to the Rocksteady Crew member’s 1990s works, specifically the Power Cypha series, that was famous for featuring upwards of 50 freestyles from New York Hip Hop legends and rising stars.
At this time, it is not yet known which artists include the 50 emcees Tony Touch is working with.

AH, FINALLY A REAL HIP HOP DJ……LOOK FORWARD TO THE CD.
exactly.
Don’t front. You’ll download it for free like all the other thieves.
This should be good!
cant wait
TOCA GOT ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON THE RADIO!!
DJ ALBUMS ARE KIND OF UNNECESSARY BUT HEY, IF YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY GO N GET IT PAPI!!
we aren’t done with “posse tracks” yet?
Posse cuts are forever man? You must be a 90’s baby or early 2000s. From Symphony ft Big Daddy Kane, Kool G rap, Master Ace and Craig G, live at the BBQ, posse cuts are the heavy hits in hip hop with dream collabos. Don’t disrespect the architect. I understand if country music doesn’t have posse cuts, that’s why you’re getting flustered.
eastcoast posse tracks are dope instead of those wack dirty south posse cuts with faggots like: drake, wayne, 2chainz, etc
Hey hey country got some posse cuts. Ever heard “Highwayman”?
haha
Canibus bitches!! rtj collection dot com
canibus collection dot com
canibus central dot com
This will flop. Just wait for the new Ross and Drake albums. You know, real hip hop without the gimmicks.
The real hip-hop is this! Not that Officer Rick shit.
self made will sell thooo
this is to real for them
lool your funny
Yeah, real hip hop without the gimmicks, like Rick Ross who took on the name of a big dealer – not gimmicky at all. Fat bastard, boring rhymes.
God Damn! This will surpass the Statik Selektah album! Nothin but all the REAL MC’S, can’t wait!
he got eminem on it
eminem next album gonna be real
RAP IS COMING BACK
This will be lucky to sell 2,000 copies 1st week.
LOOKS WACK AS FUCK
you’re a dummy
Real Dummy!
People hating on this don’t know what a real dj is.
18. KRS-One, Fat Joe & Sadat X Take It To The Bronx
he’s the man for that
Will probably have a boring beat with phoned in rhymes.
Looks good
Hope he can recapture the fire from the first piecemaker
i jizzed 21 times after i saw this.
No beatnuts!!!!!!
Liknuts= Beatnuts & Alkaholiks
real hip hop yeah!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever you do, DO NOT PRE ORDER THIS FROM SOUL TEMPLE RECORDS!
Bob Perry and RZA will keep your money and not send you a fucking thing! Wont even reply to your emails asking where your stuff is or for a refund!
BOYCOTT SOUL TEMPLE RECORDS!
Co-sign, preordered 12RTD and still don’t have it. co-owner Bob Perry is a crook, just do your research.
Facebook: Boycott Soul Temple Music
shits gonna hot
Real hiphop instead of that fake rapper jay-z who talks about picasso and mona lisa and his basketball team
co sign I love a lot of jay z’s clever little lines but overall he sucks compared to the REAL lyricists and talks about the same bling bling brag shit
This gonna be fire.. can not wait for the slaughterhouse, krs, black thought, red/meth, and eminem tracks. Speaking of is eminem still releasing a new album? doesnt look like it at all. If he does it wont sell half as much as he usually does cuz theres been zero promotion plus he wont have much to rap about
Contender for album of the year, real hip hop breakfast right here. Magna Carta Holy Grail is nothing compared to this.
