OVERVIEW/PHILOSOPHY
This tour has been the culmination of years of dedication to the art and culture of HIP HOP Music, A true highlight of my life experience on this earth, One of those unforgettable times that I know I will tell my future children about. There are some things that happen where you know the God’s hand touched those to sculpt and mold the experience into a blessing… That work, care and devotion of crafting like energy to connect in the right time and place is beauty, pure, raw and unrefined.

I must say that I was truly blessed to be in the presence of two Queens and two Kings. Beautiful people with whom I share similar vision and goals for the future.

MANY THANKS…
Many thanks to Karin @ Subotage, who put in such hard work to make this tour possible.. Also, thanks to Martin, our tour manager, who always made sure we were comfortable and drove us from place to place safely!!! Thanks to all of the promoters for booking us for the tour!! And, last but definitely not least, thanks to the wonderful audiences throughout Europe that showed us so much love and support!!! We truly appreciate all the love!!!! It is returned tenfold!!!

This experience was especially touching to me as it was my first European Tour. What a beautiful gift to be given the opportunity to travel through distant lands and share my music with the people. I truly give thanks for this experience and look forward to more to come….

Wow, to be able to tour with Bahamadia, a Queen that has inspired my love for HIP HOP was truly life changing. I put her alongside her peers MC Lyte and Queen Latifah, among many more…A sista that showed us all that women are emcees! That we don’t need to dress sexy or compromise our integrity to reach success…its written or spit through the skills on tha mic!! Talent uncompromised with power and flow!! Yes… Her legacy and vision continues on and has touched so many it was an honor and a blessing to be in her presence and rock the stage with her!

First of all, our gig in Bucharest was a freakin circus. From the 8 hour wait at the Vienna airport for our incorrectly booked flight, to the crappy hotel the promoter booked which ran out of running water to the next hotel resembling a murder scene in which me and Jag ended up going to take showers, the entire experience was something I’d like to forget soon. I mean, no one on this tour is a diva believe it or not. But no running water at the hotel?!?!? Even though the promoter showed very little concern for us and even argued with Bahamadia outside the venue, we still chalked it up, did an extremely professional job and gave the audience in Romania exactly what they paid for; an amazing show. Immediately following the show, we headed to the airport which was a final nail in the coffin that was our trip to Bucharest. The entire airport was like a Chuckie Cheese on the busiest Saturday afternoon of the year. People everywhere, no order, everyone bumping us, stepping on feet, some girl fainted, people were throwing up, and none of the staff seemed to have any idea where we were supposed to go to catch our flight to Paris. It was a miracle that we made it out of that city on time. Unbelievable…

We left Amsterdam and headed to Meinz which is a little town in Germany with a dope scene for soulful music. Everyone manages to pass through there from hip hop acts like Blu and Ta’raach to electronic soul cats like Marc De Clive Lowe and Zed Bias. The shows at the Red Cat venue are always packed and a whole lot of fun. I was in bed most of the evening trying to shake a migraine headache and missed dinner. In fact, I think everyone was drained and in their rooms so no one ate. We expected to eat after the show but since we didn’t get off stage until 2am, nothing in this small town was open. I killed a turkey sandwich backstage and quickly headed back to the hotel to pack for the next trip.
