LL Cool J Bringing Ice Cube, Public Enemy & De La Soul for 'Kings of the Mic' Tour
In case you missed LL Cool J killing it at SXSW last week with Public Enemy and Ice Cube at the Doritos #BoldStage (peep the photos here), you can still catch them all on tour this summer.
The three legendary rap acts—along with equally iconic De La Soul—are hitting the road from late May til early July for their Kings of the Mic tour.
The tour begins May 23 in Tuscon, AZ; less than a month after the Queens rapper drops his upcoming Authentic album due April 30. The tour will (w)rap in style at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.
