Braille & S1 promote “Cloud Nineteen” with tour

braille-s1

Underrated Portland rapper Braille (above, left) has a new project out with producer Symbolyc One from Texas group  Strange Fruit Project called Cloud Nineteen. The album, which dropped via Braille’s Hip Hop Is Music imprint, features appearances from his group Lightheaded, Strange Fruit Project, turntablist Rob Swift, Vursatyl from Lifesavas, breaks producer Shawn Lee and Theory Hazit.

To promote the album, Braille and S1 are embarking on a monthlong tour that includes community centers, churches and even warehouses. It may sound random, but at least they’re caking — instead of dropping free MP3s with bootleg Dilla beats and waiting for Def Jam to sign them.
