Description

DR. ROCK - pictured above outside the Chase Tower Rotunda, Dallas, Texas - shot to fame in the mid-Eighties via his association with the legendary rapper Dr. Dre as a DJ for the World Class Wreckin' Cru. His recording debut came in 1987 as a founding member of the Fila Fresh Crew alongside Fresh K and The D.O.C. (Doc-T) with a spot on the N.W.A. and the Posse compilation album, largely down to Dre's influence. The following year in '88 they released the LP Tuffest Man Alive on Get Live Records, one of the earliest hip-hop labels founded by Dr. Rock. The group disbanded after the release with the D.O.C. moving on to work with Easy-E and the gangsta rap group N.W.A. Dr. Roc forged a solo career releasing Taking Charge on CD under the pseudonym Fela Fresh Crew in 1991. Here, for the first time, we proudly present the inaugural VINYL edition of Taking Charge featuring the original track selection in a DJ-friendly 2026 remaster.
