The duo will be performing classic Reflection Eternal songs, solo material from each, and debuting some new tracks from their upcoming release Revolutions Per Minute. Hip-hop ‘super-group’ Slaughterhouse, consisting of Joe Budden, Royce Da 5’9”, Joell Ortiz, and Crooked I, will be touring to support the August 11 release of their self-titled debut album. A newly reunited Slum Village, with T3, Baatin, and Elzhi, will also be promoting new material. Their album, Villa Manifesto, will be out later this summer. Freestyle champion Supernatural and DJ/super-producer Pete Rock, round out what promises to be an incredible hip-hop show.
With the ‘ROCK THE BELLS PRESENTS’ TOUR, Guerilla Union plans to provide the “Rock The Bells” experience to hip-hop fans across the country, who may not be able to attend the Rock The Bells International Festival Series, which typically hits 10-12 markets in North America each summer. Guerilla Union is dedicated to building the Rock The Bells platform in as many parts of the world as possible, with the hopes of continually being able to support great artists and hip-hop culture.
