FIRE AND ICE TOUR 2008
Tech N9ne, Paul Wall and special guest Ill Bill
Dates: MARCH 2008 – JUNE 2008
Strange Music and Swisha House present one of the hottest tours of the year! Beginning March 2008, we present "FIRE AND ICE 2008"! "FIRE AND ICE 2008" is the coming together of the middle of the map with heat from the east! We present the Kansas City King, road Warrior Tech N9ne and the smooth south Texas sounds of Paul Wall with special guest Brooklyn's own Ill Bill of the infamous La Coka Nostra. Spring is almost upon us and "FIRE AND ICE 2008" already one of the most anticipated packages of 2008!
Tech N9ne has been around the industry for many years and has had great success with his incredible stage performances and hits like: "I'm a Playa", "Imma Tell", "Slacker" and "Here Comes Tecca Nina". The album "Everready (The Religion)" was released on November 7th 2006 with great critical acclaim and debuted at number two on the Billboard Top Independent Album charts while placing as high as six in three other separate charts. Eight months after Everready, Tech N9ne Collabos: Misery Loves Kompany" hit the shelves, giving his already hard core fan base more material to memorize for Tech's upcoming shows. Over 500 one and a half hour long performances in the last few years is why Tech N9ne has proved to be one of the most accomplished touring artists in the business.
Tech N9ne will release his highly anticipated follow-up to Everready (The Religion) entitled, "Killer" in the Summer of 2008.
Paul Wall is one of the hottest artists from the one of the most consistent hotbeds of Hip-Hop, Houston Texas. Prior to making a nationwide breakout in 2005 with a guest spot on Mike Jones' "Still Tippin'" and his major-label debut, "The Peoples Champ". Wall's 2005 national debut "THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP" debuted on BILLBOARD MAGAZINE'S TOP 200 in the &035;1 spot and quickly reached platinum status.
Paul Wall was instrumental in taking Texas Hip Hop to the National level. His 2007 release "GET MONEY STAY TRUE" debuted as the &035;1 RAP album in BILLBOARD MAGAZINE and is quickly approaching GOLD status. His 2007 HONDA CIVIC TOUR with FALL OUT BOY widely expanded his fan base, as well as the 2006 DUB CAR SHOW TOUR. In 2005 Wall was nominated for a Grammy with the &035;1 song "GRILLZ" along with Nelly, Ali and Gipp. The song sparked a global trend for the diamond encrusted gold caps for which Paul is famous for making and selling to various celebrities that include Kanye West, Diddy, Shaq, Lil Jon as well as many many others.
Paul Wall plans to release his 7th album in the Fall of 2008 titled "THE FAST LIFE".
