it’s official! The Triple J Hip Hop Show, Unkut Recordings and Shogun Distribution are excited to announce Brad Strut’s much anticipated Legend: Official National Tour. Since its release in June this year, the sophomore solo album from the menacing Melbourne lyricist has become one of the most praised Australian hip hop records ever, and fans have clamoured for its sinister sounds to be brought to the stage. Now, Brad Strut returns from destroying shows in Europe and the UK to blow away venues across Australia with the exemplary flow and wordplay of Legend: Official.
Backed up by DJ Big Zed, who executed the searing scratches on Legend: Official, Brad’s murderous metaphors will storm the state capitals, Canberra, Cairns, Townsville, Byron Bay, Geelong and Phillip Island. Album producer and fellow Lyrical Commission icon Trem will appear on all Victorian shows, and the Melbourne date will be capped off by Bob Balans, making for the first on-stage appearance of the Commission in almost two years. Rounding out the bill in each city will be the best local MCs and DJs, along with special interstate guests for several dates.
Brad’s live shows are already legendary, as anyone who witnessed his sold out east coast dates in early 2006 can testify. Now, with performances at Hip Hop Kemp (Czech Republic) and The Edinburgh Festival under his belt, Brad is bringing home his finely tuned stage show of devastating lyrical assaults. The Legend: Official National Tour will be the essential Australian hip hop show of the year – don’t miss out! For ticket information visit Ozhiphop.com forums.
