Stevie G-Remembering Tony D

A tribute to one of the most under-rated producers in hip-hop; featuring many similarly under-rated acts, including two of my all time favs, Poor Righteous Teachers and YZ. There's also a good few of the bits Tony D did with Grand Central in Manchester in the 90's, a label I had a very close association with, and I had the honour of having YZ guest with me in Sir Henry's Back Bar back in the day. Tony D died in a car crash last week. My thoughts are with his family. I dedicate this to all the real underground hip-hop legends who paved the way, remember when the majority of hip-hop artists actually had something to say?
