R.A. The Rugged Man and Potluck will co-headline the forthcoming The Rugged & Raw Tour. Whitney Peyton and Black Pegasus are slated to be the tour’s opening acts.
The initial leg of the tour is scheduled to begin October 18 at Jambalaya in Arcata, California and conclude December 4 at The Catalyst (The Atrium) in Santa Cruz, California. Additional tour dates will be announced soon.
“It’s been a non-stop hectic year so far touring the world spreading that Legends Never Die music everywhere,” R.A. The Rugged Man said in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX, referencing his album that was released earlier this year. “I’ve been busy destroying venues and obliterating crowds throughout the planet, but it’s time to bring the tour back home to my people. I’m getting ready to saddle up and hit the good old U.S. now.”
“We love to perform and be part of tours that can really entertain people and show them a good time,” added Potluck’s 1Ton. “R.A. The Rugged Man brings a raw energy to a show that is truly unique. To combine an East Coast legendary emcee like R.A. with the underground West Coast Potluck sound will be an off-the-wall, crazy time for everyone that comes out to this tour. Plus, we got an up-and-coming female emcee like Whitney Peyton and a dope lyricist like Black Pegasus. This will be an instant party in every club we hit.”
