Tuff Gong is a record label, studio and distribution company located in Kingston, Jamaica. Founded by Bob Marley in 1965, the name comes from Marley’s own nickname, which he earned as a teenager growing up in Trenchtown for his tough attitude.
 
The 11 piece collection is largely inspired by Bob Marley’s own aesthetic as well as the style of his contemporaries in music.  As with most honest, grass roots creative cultures, there existed a distinct organic style within the Jamaican music scene.  Tuff Gong and its artist were at the center of that culture.
