Detroit rappers, Esham and Royce Da 5'9, are set to embark on the 2008 Sacrificial Lambs Tour, beginning at the end of April.
The tour is slated to kick off on April 30th in Flint, Michigan, and head across the U.S. before wrapping up in Jackson, Michigan on June 8th, which will follow with Canada dates being announced.
"We're kicking the doors down with one of the most devastating sets of my entire career," explained Esham, who's touring in support of his first album in three years, titled Sacrificial Lambz. "Royce is the perfect complement to our music and hes a hip hop heavyweight in his own right."
The tour was put together by Aknu Media, Esham's multimedia company where he produces his albums and directs his own videos. His album will be released through Aknu Media.
"Sacrificial Lambz is the answer for those seeking a more distinct and elaborate brand of hip-hop," says Esham.
The album is set for release this summer, and will feature 27 tracks.
While Esham readies a new album, Royce is currently putting the finishing touches on his fourth official album, and is in the midst of a major label bidding war.
