METHOD MAN, REDMAN, AND GHOSTFACE JOIN FORCES
Def Jam's top-ranking roster of
superstar rappers continue to dominate this summer's touring circuit -
as Method Man, Redman and Ghostface join forces for The Foot Print in
Hip-Hop Tour, keeping the Wu-Tang Clan spirit alive and well on a
21-city schedule that opens July 22nd at the Orange Peel in Asheville,
NC, and wraps up August 16th at Mezzanine in San Francisco. Opening for
the tour is Brooklyn's Duo Live performing their Color of Money and hot
single "Shooting". (Please see tour dates below.)

Method Man and Redman are basking in the glow of BLACKOUT 2, their
critically acclaimed new Def Jam collaboration released in May - the
long-awaited (ten years!) follow-up to their essential Blackout, one of
the defining hip-hop events of 1999 (with "Tear It Off," "Y.O.U.," and
"Da Rockwilder"). BLACKOUT 2 blasted off with a trifecta of new single
releases showing off Meth and Red at their very best: "A-Yo" featuring
Saukrates, produced by Pete Rock; "Mrs. International" featuring Erick
Sermon, produced by Buckwild; and "City Lights" featuring Bun B,
produced by Nasty Kutt. The album debuted on top 10 on Soundscan and
has drawn unanimous raves from print and web media.

Ghostface Killah, W-TC's most prolific member, will release his 6th Def
Jam album (and 10th major label career album) in September, THE WIZARD
OF POETRY, described as "an R&B-influenced rap album." Ghost's most
recent release was Ghostdeini The Great (December 2008), his first
official archive collection on the Def Jam label, blending "classic
tracks with remixes and new verses," as Billboard.com described it.
Guests included W-TC, fellow Def Jam artists Kanye West and Ne-Yo, Amy
Winehouse, Mary J. Blige, Ice Cube, and others. The collection also
drew tracks from three of Ghost's Def Jam albums: Fishscale (March
2006), More Fish (December 2006), and The Big Doe Rehab (December 2007).

Redman exploded on to the hip-hop scene in 1992 with Whut? Thee
Album, his RIAA gold
debut album. It was followed by Dare Iz a
Darkside.(1994), Muddy
Waters (1996), Doc's da Name 2000 (1998), Malpractice (2001) - all RIAA
gold-sellers - and El Nino with Def Squad (1998, with Keith Murray and
Erick Sermon), and Red Gone Wild (2007).
N0717.MET-RED_TOUR
Always larger than life, Method Man became a vital part of hip-hop
culture in 1992 as a founding member of the seminal hip-hop
supergroup Wu-Tang Clan with
their classic debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Solidifying
himself as a superstar in his own right, Meth went on to record for Def
Jam and release Tical (1994), Tical 2000: Judgement Day (1998) - both
RIAA platinum - Tical 0: The Prequel (2004, RIAA gold), and 4:21...The
Day After (2006).
