Wu-Tang Clan tandem Ghostface Killah and Raekwon are about to go on tour, and for $1100 you can open up for them. The Ragu Tour is set to kick off on the West Coast, with a concert in Portland, Oregon on July 26, and has 19-stops listed into September. Along with news of the performance dates, came an offer for aspiring rappers to join a show for the eleven hundred dollar fee.
Artists who tag on for the opportunity will be given a 15-minute slot. They will also have a section available to them should they wish to set up a merchandise stand. Travel and accommodations will not be provided, and all other expenses must be covered by the performer. As it makes its way east, the Ragu Tour will touch down in mostly smaller venues, averaging between a 500 and 1,000 person capacity.
According to the concert promotion more shows will be added soon. Nearly all of the originally scheduled dates to see the Only Built for Cuban Linx rappers are said to be already sold out. The Wu is said to be working on a new album and according to Ghost, he will take reigns over the creative direction of the project, telling HipHopDX: "RZA put the ball in my hand. He said 'Yo, I want you to do it,' and I been wanting to do it, and that’s a big test for me right there." In addition to what obscure emcees the $100 promo attracts, perhaps the tour will be ripe with cameos from the old collective.
