Review by twillg Mar 14, 2012
Never buy anything from these dirtbags!!! They're the worst scum in the music industry. They basically claim ownership of every black recording made since 1950 and try to collect royalties that aren't due to them. To make matters worse, they have a full-time crew of salaried lawyers that call the original artists and estates and threaten to sue them for copyright infringement!

Kool Keith warns on his own Funky Ass label not to buy any Ultramagnetic releases on Tuff City records because they would be Unauthorized bootlegs.
