This week, several members from Chicago-based collective Galapagos4 embark on a monthlong national tour. The jaunt will promote Qwel’s album with producer Kip Killagain, The New Wine, which dropped on Tuesday, June 10. The boisterous, outspoken rapper (pictured above) will be joined by the comparatively calm tones of Qwaazar and his DJ Silence (together known as Dirty Digital), Robust (who recently caught wreck for dissing Sage Francis; check his MySpace for the track “Chubby Vegan”) and DJ Dallas Jackson. And since this is an underground affair, each town can expect plenty of local stars rocking the mic before the main act takes the stage.
Check out the dates and see if Qwel and company is hitting your town this month.
