Legendary D.I.T.C. member, O.C., will be dropping his fifth album, Smoke & Mirrors, on Tuesday (November 1) on Oakland-based label, Hiero Imperium.
To coincide with the album's release, the rapper will be reuniting with D.I.T.C. members, AG, Lord Finesse, and Diamond, for a European tour. It will mark the first time four of the five MCs from the famed group will tour together. The eight-date tour will take place from November 3rd to the 12th, kicking off in Belguim and ending in Barcelona, Spain.
Being the first East Coast signing since Hiero's inception in '97, the label gave him complete artistic freedom to record this album on his own terms.
"Knowing my history and work ethic, Hiero said to me 'We don't have to baby sit you, just do your thing,'" said O.C., in a past statement. "Now, how many labels do you know of that say that to their artists?"
Smoke & Mirrors is due in stores tomorrow.
Below is a list of confirmed dates, according to the label's publicist:
11/3 - One / Sweden 11/4 - Vooruit Bazaal / Belgium 11/5 - Melkweg / Amsterdam 11/6 - Hundertmeister / Duisberg 11/8 - Lock 17 / London 11/9 - Waagenbau / Hamburg 11/10 - Elysee Montmartre / Paris, France 11/11 - Madrid / Spain (TBA) 11/12 - Barcelona / Spain (TBA)
