[@EWCMILK]

​@jonathanhuerta3811 you're thinking Tony Sunshine

[@DJYNOT2]

I love the stories we dj's have. I live in Phila but I grew up in Camden NJ right over the bride from Funk-O-Mart in Phila. I got most of my records there and at Sound of Market and Armand's.... Wow the good old days. I met Biz in Sound of Market. Tony Touch much respected soldier. Salute from DJ Y -Not...

[@woabeatz9717]

NOBODY BEATS THE BIZ......

[@Imakebeats65]

tony is right the music that you collect really reflects who you are and for every record there is always a story attached!!

[@dkapone]

Tony Toca.......nothing but respect! Peace.

[@djflashb]

I have met Tony Touch in dubai 5 or 6 years ago he is one of the coolest dudes ever

[@MrJR2309]

Return of the 50 MC's is dope. I bought the signed CD and vinyl version - but only ever received the CD (months after purchase). Anyone else?

[@julianduprey5248]

Much respect on shouting out funk o mart on this. My pops was a part of that record store for many years.

[@taylz1200]

That "double T" is an absolute must have in your collection. Great great album...

[@kevinredbearaddison4811]

I had most of his mix tapes in the 90s.⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥👊🏽👊🏽

[@Phicxtion]

Tony is a mad underrated DJ.

[@FurredTurgeson]

[@hebrewsfl]

Furred T bruh, I come across wild stuff here in Planet Aid and dollar bins all over Baltimore

[@MegaCunnie]

[@fumar61]

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

This guy looks younger than he did in 89. He's some sort of time traveler

[@djslimm74]

Also would LOVE to see a Q-Tip episode...

[@joeyllanos7573]

COOL DUDE, TALENTED DJ!!

[@joeydipp]

The Toca Mullet!

[@missayawk]

Tony Touch and DJ Juice had the best intros during the mix tape era......Tony also rapped in Spanglish which was an extra bonus.His 50 MCs tapes are classics!!

[@JJay-eh7yc]

Tony the truth. I only bang his old mixtapes from early 90's when working out at the gym. They don't make em like this anymore man.

[@HoltrontheDestroyer]

All that 90s hip hop takes me back. Had a lot of that (s/o to the 'liks!) I remember finding a Doo Wop and Tony Touch mix cd (my first) back in 96/97 and not fully understanding what was going on. Now it get it.

[@louieboone7209]

It’s the return of the Jedi 🇵🇷

[@eyetell]

This is awesome. Thank you for posting FUSE

[@RondaldJames8]

"Funk - O - Mart" is closed. Will definitely be keeping an eye out. If they restart in some shape, or from! Thanks for the tip :)!

[@smhunney8266]

That Peacemaker Album is a classic to me.

[@ericfernandez1869]

[@zwendab]

Always love these series. Great honor to see inside the vaults of so many legends. I have to say I have been turned on to a few new artists after finding your site. We host a webisode on crate digging - based in the West Coast. Swing by - think you will enjoy!

[@stopnotplayin]

Nice! Can't wait for Fuse to drop DJ Premier's vinyl collection video.

[@Kill3mallk3v]

Thanks fuse for doing my favorite mixtape dj tony tocca (aka tony touch) on this episode. I still have his original power Cypher 50 mc's mixtape series from the 90's. Some of the best freestyles on that tape lol!

[@MAARTN]

[@louieboone7209]

Catalyst Beats true!!! 🤣crazy if u close your eyes just like him

[@sectormentor6265]

Toca!!!

[@AT-eh2eo]

Philly update*** The entire block where funk-o-mart was located was bought out to make what is now the fashion district. However, even before that, funk-o-mart was looooong under new management, only really selling stereos and Dj equipment. No records, sadly. Tbh I’m too young to have experienced the fabled Funk-o-mart myself. By the time I caught wind it was gone.

[@no.daveed]

keep em comin'!

[@amontri3246]

I remember 2 years ago in a storage unit I found boxes and boxes of fania records they belonged to a collector dope records

[@12guageINDIANAboy]

Hell yea fuse! It was about time for a good episode. I was about to lose hope for this show.

[@hzrdswun]

Dope ep regardless!

[@Elbuckone]

Tony Touch come to the land of the Inkas Peru Chicago loves you Toca!!.

[@indyvinylz]

Stretch Armstrong PLEASE !!!!! he should have EVERY DOPE 12" single ever made in the game of independent and underground rap !!!! also dj riz or dj eclipse should have MAAAD dope wax!!! :)

[@shaynesharpe420]

finally!!!

[@mathiasrapp]

Great show! Would be awesome to see some techno or disco djs/producers on here to mix things up abit. Detroit/Chicago house guys from back in the day? I'm sure most people watching this show would appreciate different genres and be interested to see where their inspirations come from. Cheersss

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

Toca!

[@WOLFPAINTBALL]

Bro Be careful, look what happened to QTip, make sure you got a good Sprinkler system!

[@frankylane]

I always view the newest crate diggers the Wednesday it comes out and then check everyday after (it's like going to the fridge every 20 minutes thinking something new is gonna magically appear, but it don't) thinking maybe they'll sneak one in there in between or maybe there's one I haven't seen. Every other Wednesday is purgatory. This wait'n game is killin me..............stop playing with my emotions smoke-a!!

[@TheUndergroundVault]

Finally!! One that actually fucking matters!! Hank Williams the Third... LOL. I requested Tony Touch a month or so ago too... Awesome! Keep doing actual interesting collectors please!

[@TheWoud]

Large Professor, DJ Premier, DJ Shadow, MADLIB, .... PLEASE!

[@Canib0x]

dope to see this & hear him name check Funk O Mart in Philly, sadly they moved to a smaller spot in recent times & have little to no music in it..they used to have a whole fuckin basement of records/cds

[@luifranco1457]

I wore out my “Piece Maker” tape when it came out (got it on CD later ‘cus those last longer). “TONY…TONY PUÑETA! APAGA LA RADIOLA O BAJA LA MUSICA - MIRA VE LO QUE HACES!” 🤣

[@TheJVelez]

I have some of your shit! hahahaha! I LOVE it.

[@TheUndergroundVault]

Tony is an interesting character, and one that Hip-Hop heads would like to see his collection for. Egon was great as well, love me some Stones Throw... but the last 3~ have been people no one cares about. I understand what was shown may not be the best, but his stories, and Toca himself is an interesting character, one I'm interesting in viewing a Crate Diggers episode from. Oh, and his collection itself was pretty great.

[@puzzle247365]

So fuckin dope!! you dont get stories like this with the internet age/mp3's...shout to that REDMAN 12" of cant wait in the background...oh and that new Piece maker return of the 50 MCs is DOOOOPE! just for the black thought joint alone pick it up!

[@soberocsta]

171 BWAY THROW IT UP TT

[@djslimm74]

I would love to see a "Crate Diggers" episode of some house djs....maybe a Louie Vega,Tony Humphries,Kenny Dope,Kerri Chandler,Theo Parrish...

[@jjbing3]

Yes, I got that Jimmy Walker!

[@alexandermoller3733]

[@kingofpirates4039]

lol "i stole this record HEHEHE"

[@MichaelCobbs]

Good video

[@MAARTN]

Hehe, dope to find out huh :)

[@berniemadina6145]

Bought my first Tony Touch mix tape in 1993 on Knickerbocker Ave . I payed $45 dollars because a cop gave me a ticket for double parked 😂 because i ran inside the record store and left the whip outside blockin' traffic

[@Fuse]

When it’s bigger than hip-hop!

[@adrienmilonas6770]

Bottom line Tony Toca touch is one of the best dj slash producers from the game, he has done mad joints, the difference is he is like my dude Alchemist he's not looking for fame or notoriety. His work speaks for itself and he knows it- peacemaker ain't no joke, threw some water on bad situations. Notice a dope dj/producers aren't seeking fame-: Toca,alchy, just blaze, havoc, sauce money gets busy too

[@SakeLoke35]

Fania ALLSTARS

[@DJJSerpico]

never heard of him before, but this was an enjoyable episode.
