Guerrilla Funk in Talks with Boost Mobile, Tour Postponed
San Francisco, CA - Rapper/activist Paris' Guerrilla Funk Touring and Promotions, LLC has entered into negotiations with Boost Mobile, a division of Sprint Corporation (NYSE: S), for full sponsorship of its upcoming Hard Truth Soldiers Tour. The tour's original start date of May 1 has been postponed, with the revised launch date to be announced.
"Corporate sponsorship will provide us the means to more comfortably take on this tour in this economic climate," says Guerrilla Funk CEO Paris. "While we understand the initial disappointment some supporters may have with the tour's delay, it is definitely for the better, and will allow for a more rewarding experience with additional acts and much greater exposure moving forward. We tried to keep the original start date up until the last minute, but time was always tight, and we want to allow for the full participation of all of our sponsors and label partners."
Boasting an impressive 45-city schedule, the Hard Truth Soldiers Tour is not only noteworthy for its scope, but for its lineup of today's most focused and socially aware hardcore hip-hop talent - talent which includes Paris, dead prez, Immortal Technique, Talib Kweli, Kam, Pete Rock, Planet Asia, T-K.A.S.H., The Conscious Daughters, Uno the Prophet, Jasiri X, NYOil, Sellassie and guest performers in select cities.
The tour - which promises to be an annual concert series - blends seasoned talent with up and coming young lions fierce in their commitment to quality music, the importance of independent media, and the ongoing fight for social justice.
