The Public Enemy Australian Tour 2014 has announced the multiple support acts for the legendary hip hop crew’s upcoming shows.
Just weeks out from their hotly anticipated tour kicking off – which includes performances at Perth Festival, Golden Plains, and Tasmania’s Breath Of Life – some of the biggest names in Australian hip-hop have been added to the bill for Public Enemy’s tour, including Melbourne’s Mantra, Canberra’s Citizen Kay, and Brisbane’s Impossible Odds, with Adelaide’s DJ Sanchez and Melbourne’s DJ MzRizk filling out the DJ sets.
After a busy 2013 cementing his new chapter with Ten To Two Records by dropping the infectiously autobiographical single Loudmouth, Mantra is set to bring his rapid-fire lyricism and fearsome reputation to Public Enemy’s stage.
Ghana-born Canberra-raised rapper Citizen Kay has been causing a stir since early 2013, with the release of his debut collaboration Ansah Brothers featuring his brother Genesis Owusu. Known for his slick and savvy rhymes and irresistible genre-bending beats, Citizen Kay has already earned his stripes in support slots for the likes of Wiz Khalifa and Earl Sweatshirt in his young career – this Canberra young gun is set to put on one hell of a show in support of Public Enemy.
With Brisbane’s Impossible Odds contributing their socially aware but no less sick rhymes and beats to the mix, and DJ Sanchez and DJ MzRisk spinning the finest of tunes, Public Enemy’s tour is set to be explosive.
Don’t miss out when Chuck D and Flavor Flav, along with Professor Griff, DJ Lord and the baNNed, bring their rap juggernaut to Australia for a tour which will yet again prove just why Public Enemy is renowned worldwide for being not only one of the greats of their genre, but one of the greatest and most influential artists of all time.
In the words of Flavor Flav: “Yeah Boooooiiiiiiii!”
