Southern California-based concert promoters Guerilla Union have teamed up with MySpace Hip-Hop to bring hip-hop fans the ‘ROCK THE BELLS PRESENTS’ TOUR. This 15-city North American tour is in addition to the full-blown Rock The Bells International Festival Series that is currently underway, hitting eight U.S. and three Canadian markets this summer. These ROCK THE BELLS PRESENTS shows will provide fans an intimate experience with some of hip-hop’s finest artists currently gracing the Festival Series including Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek), Slaughterhouse, Slum Village, and Supernatural.  Pete Rock will host all dates, with Raekwon and Tech N9ne to perform in select markets.

Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek will be touring for the first time together as Reflection Eternal since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album Train of Thought.  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.
