The forthcoming Public Enemy tour isn't just going to be awesome thanks to the headline act themselves, today they have locked in some truly awesome local supports that will ensure these shows are some of the best hip hop dates of the year.
Mantra has been dominating shows around the country for almost a decade now and has become one of the most revered Aussie MCs in that time. Last year he dropped Telling Scenes, his finest effort to date, and he's been turning in plenty of great shows in support of it – dates with the mighty Public Enemy in Adelaide and Melbourne will no doubt turn plenty onto his style.
We tend to rave about Canberra's Citizen Kay a lot, we really like him and thankfully it's beginning to look like this is catching on in a very, very big way. He's been copping heaps of airplay for his recent singles, but it's in the live arena that he rules the hardest – this is a high energy show from a dude who knows exactly what the fuck he is doing up there. He will take the second Melbourne date as well as the shows in Sydney and Brisbane.
DJ Sancez, DJ McRizk and the kick arse Impossible Odds take on opening duties at their respective hometown shows.
Details are as follows:
Sunday 2 March – HQ, Adelaide (Public Enemy, Mantra, DJ Sanchez)
Monday 3 March – Corner Hotel, Melbourne (Public Enemy, Mantra, DJ MzRizk)
Tuesday 4 March – Corner Hotel, Melbourne (Public Enemy, Citizen Kay, DJ MzRizk)
