Rapper Esham is launching his Sacrificial Lambs 2008 Tour, in conjunction with Aknu Media and Cocaine Energy Drink, and has enlisted Royce Da 5’9″ to join alongside this Michigan Hip Hop-inspired series of shows.
“We’re kicking the doors down with one of the most devastating sets of my entire career,” said Esham, of the set which will coincide with his first album in three years, where the tour gets its name from.
