Europe has tons of fans of real hip-hop man....they love boom bap rap and still support it hugely....they deserve to see Rock The Bells and every other noteworthy American hip-hop tour....

Post by: Rud on September 28, 2008, 12:11:23 PM
yes we are once again keyline media sponsors!

i am more than bemused about the venues that have been settled on. the o2 in london was perfect for this and im stunned they opted not to pursure it and make it a big deal. the apollo in manchester doesnt really suit the idea of these shows!

ill have more info after the conference call this week!

They're bringing the show to Helsinki, Finland too with Nas, Mos, De La, SuperNat and Scratch. Show's on November 5th.

Damn, I really wanna go, mostly 'cause of Mos Def & Nas, but to see SuperNat do his freestyle thing live also would be dope... But I'm not sure if I can make it. Busy doing my final shits before graduation.
