Tough Breaks: The Story of Baltimore ClubMusic is the definitive history of how a city danced its pain away.

Tough Breaks: The Story of Baltimore Club Music is the definitive history of how a city danced its pain away.

In Tough Breaks: The Story of Baltimore Club Music, music journalist Al Shipley draws from 18 years’ worth of interviews with dozens of DJs, producers, vocalists, party hosts, promoters, and the founders of the clubs, labels and record stores that shaped the genre. With the untold stories behind labels like Unruly Records and clubs like The Paradox, Shipley digs deep into big personalities, obscure samples, profanely catchy chants, and friendship and feuds that drove a competitive scene to keep the 130BPM beats going for decades. Baltimore icons who died tragically young like Miss Tony and DJ K-Swift are remembered through the eyes of friends and collaborators, and producers like DJ Booman, DJ Class, and Diamond K reveal the inspirations behind some of their classic tracks.
