Released in 1988, Tougher Than Leather followed Run-DMCs massively successful third album Raising Hell and furthered their innovative, aggressive, and hard-hitting sound that defined the hip-hop scene of the 1980s. From the incredible lead single, Runs House to their cover of The Monkees Mary, Mary, Tougher Than Leather features a slew of incredible hits and is essential listening for any fan of classic hip-hop. Tougher Than Leather blends Run-DMCs infectious, charismatic flows and heavily sample-based production with hard-hitting raps, soaring choruses, and rapid-fire delivery. Stand out tracks include Runs House, Im Not Going Out Like That, as well as Beats to the Rhyme, a story-based cut that stands as an anthem to hip-hop.
