A collaboration of some of the city’s sickest MCs, DJs and producers, Dope Sandwich is like
the Wu?Tang Clan raised on comic books rather than crack sales. Since their debut release
of 2006’s compilation, The Walking Sick, the label has released several successful albums,
and they will be debuting several new projects on the TOUR OF DUTY including a live album
DSP Live, and a new DVD Dope Sandwich Presents: Still Sick, featuring four videos and an
audio disc mixing some new material with several old favorites.
