Bullet From A Gun is the debut album by rapper Derek B, released in 1988 on Tuff City Records which, at its peak, reached number 9 in the UK Album Chart.[2] US rap mogul Russell Simmons later signed Derek to Rush Artist Management and the album was re-released on Profile Records later in the year. Thanks to the tie-up with Simmons, Derek B toured the world with Public Enemy and Run DMC that year to promote the album.
BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe has said Bullet From A Gun "was a massive album for me" and London rapper Ty recalls "he was absolutely groundbreaking. He definitely broke the door down."[3]
