Dr. Rock's association with
Dr. Dre during his stint as a DJ for the
World Class Wreckin' Cru helped land the Fila Fresh Crew a spot on the
N.W.A and the Posse compilation album in
1987. A year later, the trio released the EP
Tuffest Man Alive which was promoted with three singles. Doc-T left the group and changed his name to The D.O.C., becoming a valuable contributor to
Eazy-E's
debut album and newly formed
gangsta rap group
N.W.A. Acting as a writer to many tracks with
Ruthless Records (and later
Death Row Records), the D.O.C. is most remembered for his
1989 debut album
No One Can Do It Better featuring the hit single "
It's Funky Enough". Though the Fila Fresh Crew had disbanded by
1988, Dr. Rock launched a solo album of his own in
1991 under the pseudonym
Fela Fresh Crew. In 2017,
Tuffest Man Alive was released on CD for the first time with a previously released b-side ("I Wanna Know What Love Is") included as a bonus track. ==Discography==
