Camp Lo, Grand Agent and Tajai of Hieroglyphics are embarking on the “Traditional Rap” tour, which is slated to kick off January 9.The tour aims to recreate the environment that shaped hip-hop by emulating park jams and house parties.Throughout the show, fans are taken on a journey back in time, as the DJ’s and rappers perform sets influenced by all era’s of hip-hop, from the 1970’s to the present-day.”I saw the need for this tour, because a lot of great hip-hop is being overshadowed by the more commercial acts,” Mark Spitz told AllHipHop.com. Spitz is over seeing the entire “Traditional Rap” tour.Fans will hear classic material from Camp Lo, Grand Agent and Tajai as well as new material from each artist’s forthcoming releases.Other artists on the tour include Addict Merchants, Mark Spitz, Trunks, Maestro Black, Tribeca, Greans, Demolition Men, DJ Devroof and United States ITF scratch Champ DJ Teeko.”This being the first year out, I wanted to find artists that would be easy to work with and enough pull to make it work,” Spitz added”The tour dates are as followed:01-09 Los Angeles, CA Fais-Do-Do01-13 UC DAVIS Andrea Chalupa Ent.
