Drew's Entertainment, also known as TUTM Entertainment, Inc., located in Greenbrook, New Jersey, is a record label company that produces sound-alike and cover versions of songs. Their music compilations have sold over 40 million copies since 1994.

The Hit Crew albums consist of cover songs; often the songs are "tributes" to artists, programmed around a theme to be used at a party, and theoretically allowing the host to play one album without having to create their own mix CD or act as a DJ.

Drew's Entertainment has had several placements in feature films, television ads, video games, and YouTube videos.
