Firstly, let me start off with the huge, out-of-nowhere news provided by the good folks at URB Magazine:
The official press conference isn’t until, but we’re ready to call this one like FOX News. Hip-hop enigma Lauryn Hill will be headlining this year’s Rock The Bells tour. The ex-Fugees songstress will be performing her classic solo album, The Miseduction of Lauryn Hill, as part of a complete album format that has become an increasingly popular way for legendary acts to draw attention to current tours. Also rumored to be performing a full-length at RTB2010 is A Tribe Called Quest. Perhaps they’ll join Ms. Hill in a rendition of Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly,” The Fugees’ most infamous hit, which sampled ATCQ’s “Bonita Applebum.”
URB spoke to representative of Rock The Bells who would not confirm…or deny the booking. The official Rock the Bells press conference takes place tonight at The Key Club in West Hollywood.
Info on 2010 RTB dates, venues and full line-up will be available later!
In other news, Brooklyn's own Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown will both be headlining their own solo shows this summer in New York City. Both MC's have been on somewhat of a hiatus [Kim's most recent album released in 2005, Foxy's BDD flop in 2008], but maintain a steady fanbase across New York and the U.S. Even though they lack new material, though Kim has hopped on some remixes through the years, the two have so much material, they will be sure to please the audience.
Tix/Info:
Lil' Kim @ Irving Plaza/Fillmore June 3rd @7pm [tix $35 ea., $25 with purch. of 4]
Foxy Brown @ BB Kings NYC July 25 @8pm [tix $20 adv/$25 @door]
