Universal Attractions Agency, RAMP Entertainment Agency, and Mahogany Entertainment have partnered for a new tour celebrating Hip-Hop's 50th anniversary.
The Masters of The Mic: Hip-Hop 50 Tour will feature Rakim, Slick Rick, KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, and Doug E. Fresh, who were pioneers of the genre and helped bring it to the mainstream.
The tour will kick off on June 30 at Essence Fest in New Orleans and will conclude in San Antonio on Oct. 14.
Fans can expect additional guests like EPMD, Roxanne Shante, DJ Spinderella, and more in select cities.
The beloved OGs will join forces on stage as a supergroup backed by a live band to remind the world where Hip-Hop started and how it has become a global phenomenon.
Hip-Hop was born in New York's Bronx borough on Aug. 11, 1973, when DJ Kool Herc introduced his breakbeat technique called the 'Merry-Go-Round.'
This style of DJing consisted of 'using two turntables to extend the break' and ignited a cultural revolution that changed the world forever.
Hip-Hop still dominates the airwaves and continues to evolve from generation to generation.
Nick Szatmari, co-producer of the tour, credited the pioneers for bringing Hip-Hop from the block to the billboards.
He added that modern-day rappers wouldn't exist without the 'Masters of The Mic' during the '80s and '90s who paved the way for Hip-Hop to become what it is today.
Doug E. Fresh, who helped bring the tour into fruition, said, 'When we celebrate that block party in '73 with Kool Herc that started it all, we're celebrating the true spirit of Hip-Hop; everyone coming together and having a party sharing the love of their music and community. That's the true heart of Hip-Hop culture right there.'
Fresh's statement reflects the true spirit of Hip-Hop that has brought people from different walks of life together and created a pop culture phenomenon that continues to thrive.
