Word Up
An extensive national itinerary has been firmed up for the Word Of Mouth hip-hop club tour, featuring the multi-ethnic hop-hop of Jurassic 5 in the headlining slot. Beat Junkies, MC Supernatural, and Dilated Peoples join the outing, which kicks off September 13 with a two-night stand at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.
The tour announcement comes just a few weeks after a bus crash sent Jurassic 5’s Chali 2na and two other band members to the hospital with injuries.
The band was forced to drop off the Warped Tour’s final week after the accident near Nashville August 1.
While Marc 7even and Akil received only minor injuries, Chali underwent emergency surgery for a fractured skull. He is on the mend and is expected to make a full recovery, an Interscope Records spokesperson told Pollstar.
So far, Word Of Mouth has lined up 43 dates with two-night runs in several cities.word of mouth tour
