MC Shy D – I’ve Gotta Be Tough (VLS) (1986) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

MC Shy D (born Peter Jones) is the Bronx-born cousin of Afrika Bambaataa. He began on Luther Campbell’s label in 1987 with “Got To Be Tough” and “Comin’ Correct” in ’88. After one more record (1989’s ‘Don’t Sweat Me’), he went through a lean period but rebounded in 1993 with “The Comeback”. It was a more artistically ambitious release, with more contemporary production and a lean, refined rapping style. Another long hiatus preceded the appearance of Recordnize, featuring DJ Smurf.

Built off Earth, Wind & Fire’s 1977 track “Brazilian Rhyme (Beijo Interlude)”, “I’ve Gotta Be Tough” was released in 1986 as a single off MC Shy-D’s debut album “Got To Be Tough” from 1987.
