In a treat for the fan of the beat, two of Australia’s favorite hip hop acts are celebrating a huge 2008 by joining together for a massive 09. Long time west coast kings Downsyde team up with new prince Drapht, for what will prove to be a tour of royal proportions, with both acts taking their current albums out on the road for a very extensive national jaunt.

It’s the largest tour either act has taken on for years, and to make sure it’s something really special the long time Syllabollix Crew members are locked up together in a rehearsal room cooking up a combined set that’s going to knock people’s socks off. With the collection of killer cuts from their back catalogue and a long history of working together, “City Brothers Tour” will be a 16 legged beast that is going to bring the thumpin’ jams like no party before.

Very special guest at almost every show is festival favorite Pez – heading out on his largest tour yet!
