Indie hip-hop collective Hiero Imperium is celebrating its 10th anniversary by staging a 45-date "Freshly Dipped Tour" featuring Hieroglyphics and Blue Scholars. The tour will celebrate not just the music but other facets of hip-hop culture and lifestyle.
"We are putting this tour together to thank our fans for their years of loyal support, expose them to our new projects including our brand-new lifestyle line, Hiero Jeans, and to celebrate the ways that hip-hop style has influenced the fashion world," Hiero Imperium CEO Tajai Massey said.
Blue Scholars, hailing from Seattle, has been breaking out nationally since their 2007 release Bayani on the MassLine/Rawkus label and both the Scholars and The Hieroglyphics are known for high-energy live shows.
Hiero Imperium will also debut a limited edition EP that will be available only at Freshly Dipped shows. Hiero Emporium fashions and special edition gear will also be available.
The tour kicks off July 11th at the Glasshouse in Pasadena, Calif., and hits clubs across North America including Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Baltimore, New Your City, Chicago, Toronto and Ottawa, Ontario, before winding down August 16th at the Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City.
