Crowd Control full tour schedule here

New York, NY – The Crowd Control Tour, featuring hip hop darlings Kidz In The Hall, 88-Keys, and southern rising stars Donnis and Izza Kizza, will take to the roads, embarking on a national tour spanning most of the continental US.

Each artist having respective successes as supporting acts on other major tours, Kidz In The Hall and 88-Keys will have their first headlining tour with Crowd Control, which begins in New York at Highline Ballroom February 28, 2010. Kidz In The Hall look at the tour as a great way to give back to the fans who have been supporting since their first album dropped back in 2006, as well as support for their 3rd studio album, Land Of Make Believe hitting shelves March 9th on Duck Down Records. For 88-Keys, a slot on the Spring ‘09 Kid Cudi/Asher Roth tour gave him the inspiration to get back in the lab and begin cooking up the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut album, The Death of Adam available in stores now on Decon.

After two hugely successful consecutive mixtapes Kizzaland and The Wizard of Iz, for groundbreaker Izza Kizza, the Crowd Control Tour will be his second national tour within the last 4 months. This tour is a precursor to Izza Kizza’s first solo album, set to drop on Decon this Summer.  For Donnis, this will be his first national tour following up his critically acclaimed Diary Of An ATL Brave mixtape which landed him on several “best of” lists for 2009, as well as his single “Gone” on Fools Gold Records picking up at radio.

About “Lemonade”
“Lemonade” is a nod to Slave era funk and R&B while incorporating lovelorn vocals by indie rock singer Chris Chu of The Morning Benders and verses by 88-keys. Skin recounts Chris Chu’s initial reaction to the track. “Chris heard that shit and immediately wanted to get freaky. He laid down vocals on the spot with no hesitation.” Serendipitously It just so happens that 88-keys is a massive fan of The Morning Benders, which made collaboration inevitable. Top it all off with a little synthesizer love from the Godfather of funk Bernie Worrell and what do you have? A dope taste of new and old school; a rare gem in this day and age.
