From his legendary mix tapes and albums to his remarkable skills on the turntables, Tony Touch has become one of the world’s most recognized DJs.

These mixtapes, along with countless others, earned Tony the title of the ‘Mix Tape King’

Tony Touch evolved from mixtapes to record releases, notably with “The Piece Maker” in 2000, which featured artists like Big Pun, Cypress Hill, Wu-Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, and Gang Starr. He continued to release successful albums such as “The Piece Maker 2” and “The Piece Maker 3,” featuring stars like P. Diddy, Fat Joe, Sean Paul, Snoop Dogg, and Ruben Blades.
