Bone Thugs, Kurupt, RBX, Roscoe to tour?

It is whispered that a tour dubbed America’s Most Wanted will hit Oz in February, with Bone Thugs n Harmony (quite popular around these parts, I’ve heard), Kurupt, RBX and Roscoe. The report I read claimed Rascoe (sic) was on the tour, but since Rasco (Cali Agents) doesn’t fit in with the rest of the bill, and Roscoe is Kurupt’s brother, I’ll assume a typo.

Bone Thugs’ Thug Stories dropped in Australia through Shock in October, but I suspect it flew under the radar of all but die hard fans. Could another tour go the way of Fabolous and Busta Rhymes due to poor ticket sales and outlandish artist demands?

Braintax to provide beats for The Tongue?

In a new interview at In The Mix, the UK’s Braintax mentions that he’s keen to collaborate with Elefant Traks’ artist The Tongue.

Yourself and Mystro recently hooked up with the Hilltop Hoods for the song ‘Obese Low Life’. As the Low Life head honcho, can you tell us if you have any more collaborations planned with any other members of the Obese Family, or any other Aussie artists for that matter?

Nothing really planned but I checked out this guy Tongue and I’m gonna try and link him and give him some beats. DJ Debris is a good dude so I’ll definitely be round his place again, and I got a lot of respect for the Elefant Tracks crew so next time I’m in Sydney we’ll hook up hopefully. I need to get out there again and make some links still.

Joey Brains has also previously collaborated with The Herd on “Effortless” from The Sun Never Sets (Elefant Traks, 2005), and says elsewhere in the interview that Urthboy is his favourite Australian MC.

Interestingly, on the final track on his new album Panorama (Low Life, 2006), Brando Flux mentions that his plans for the future include “a beach house in New South Wales”. Could there be a seachange on the cards for one of Britain’s foremost hip hop acts and entrepreneurs?
