CO-HEADLINERS BABY BASH & PITBULL HEAD OUT ON SPRING TOUR
(New York, New York) Rap superstars, TVT Records¹ Pitbull and Arista Records¹ Baby Bash, come together to co-headline a Spring tour. The cross-country tour kicks off in Orlando on Saturday, March 15 in support of their new albums; The Boatlift and Cyclone, respectively. Pitbull and Baby Bash have massive internet followings, are two of the most searched for Latin artists on Myspace, and both have been the #1 Latin artist on the site.
³It¹s been long over due for me and Pit to hit the road together; finally our fans can see us both together for one ticket. You can¹t beat that with a whoopin¹ stick,² says Baby Bash about the upcoming tour.
Baby Bash¹s first smash single from the new album, ³Cyclone,² (featuring T-Pain) has already sold more than 1.5 million digital singles, surpassed the 1 million mark in ringtones, and hit Top 10 on the rap and mainstream radio charts, making him one of the hottest stars in the country. The second single, ³What Is It² (featuring Sean Kingston) is currently Top 10 on the rap chart and is heating up at mainstream radio.
This is the first national tour for Pitbull since joining Lil Jon on the Anger Management Tour in 2005. ³I can¹t wait to get out on the road with Baby Bash. I want to use this opportunity to connect with my all my fans and million plus Myspace friends,² says Pitbull.
The Boatlift showcases Pitbull¹s lyrical prowess as he crusades through 18 tracks penning clever and captivating rhymes on each song. Pitbull has created an incredibly diverse album ranging from R&B-influenced sounds like first single “Secret Admirer” feat Lloyd, to hypnotic club banger ³Go Girl² teaming with Trina and Young Boss, and current Afro-Cuban melodic single ³The Anthem² with a bombastic chant by Lil Jon. ” The Anthem” is number 17 on the Top 40 Rhythm chart and breaking big on Mainstream Top 40 (Pop) radio.
Baby Bash originally from Vallejo, CA now based in Houston, TX, has garnered a loyal following as a rapper-singer mixing hip-hop and R&B with his Latin roots. Bash¹s major label debut album, The Smokin¹ Nephew (certified gold), and the follow up Super Saucy, featured the #1 hit singles, ³Suga Suga² (featuring Frankie J) and ³Baby I¹m Back² (featuring Akon). Bash also penned and performed on the smash records with Frankie J, ³Obsession² and Paula Deanda, ³Doing Too Much.² Most recently Bash was featured with Jennifer Lopez on ³This Boy¹s On Fire² from Santana¹s Ultimate Santana.
Cuban-American MC Pitbull surpassed gold status for more than 500,000 copies sold of his debut album M.I.A.M.I.: Money Is A Major Issue in the United States. The feat gave Pitbull the biggest-selling bilingual hip-hop debut since Cypress Hill¹s 1991 self-titled debut, and put him in the rare category of Latino rappers who have achieved major success in English-language radio. In addition to being the #1 Latin artist on Myspace, Pitbull unleashed his sophomore album El Mariel in late 2006
spawning the #1 Latin Rap hit, “Dime”.
