“We provide a platform for up-and-coming artists to learn the ins and outs of touring independently. We have achieved this goal annually since 2014 and have recently opened the opportunity up to artists outside of our home region.” Says DJ True Justice, one of three co-founders of The Slap Frost Tour. This annual “Rap Vacation” has performed in 98 cities and 41 states across the United States since it began in 2014.
“The DIY, control your own destiny energy is so abundant that we should bottle it up next year. As the tour grows, we realize that we are inspiring others to go after their dreams. This has always been the intent.” The Bay Area’s Most Exciting DJ goes on to explain.
Previous iterations of the tour have featured established indie artists such as Locksmith, Paris, Chino XL, Planet Asia, Gavlyn, Zion-I, Michael Marshall and Equipto. The Slap Frost Team will continue spreading love in the form of music. To increase visibility in 2020, Legendary Hip Hop crew Hieroglyphics joined The Slap Frost Revue for two Southern California shows and attracted over 3000 attendees in total.
The Slap Frost Tour Founders DJ True Justice, Vocab Slick and Z-Man have enlisted Foreign Legion (who includes Marc Stretch and Prozack Turner), Louisville's RMLLW2LLZ, Justin’s Case, Moon Magic (known as the Hip Hop Witch) to round out this year's lineup. The Slap Frost Tour will conclude in Racine, WI on April 8 with the West Coast Leg kicking off on November 3, 2022.
UBO ENT and Team Slap Frost aim to raise awareness of Indie Bay Area talent through press, radio, and social media interactions throughout the Midwest. Plenty of exclusive merchandise will be available at each stop of this incredible outing.
