Continuing a flood of fall hip-hop tours, here’s the itinerary for David Banner and Talib Kweli’s appearance on Hip Hop Live! (Exclamation point not mine.)
This is the second year of Hip Hop Live, which is sponsored by Flow TV; last year’s installment brought together Rakim, Ghostface Killah and Brother Ali. Rhythm Roots Allstars (who appeared on Ghost’s The Big Doe Rehab) will reprise its role as backing band for all the artists.
Little Brother will open during the first half of the tour, which runs until October 13. Somewhat overrated Atlanta rapper B.O.B. will appear during the tour’s second half until October 25.
