Sidewalk Hustle

Thank you to pitchfork.com for finally let­ting us poor schlubs know who is open­ing up for Jay Z on his upcom­ing North Amer­i­can tour. I was won­der­ing this for some­time now myself and this very topic has been dis­cussed exten­sively around the water-cooler since the con­cert was announced. Well here it is kid­dies, and it’s not in the least bit dis­ap­point­ing, N.E.R.D. and Wale, with Jay’s new out of no-where pro­tégé J. Cole round­ing out the bill. Not a bad choice with N.E.R.D. who recently did opening-act duty for Kanye West on his Glow in the Dark tour. I am keep­ing my fin­gers crossed for a “I Just Wanna Love U” guest-vocal cameo from Phar­rell. This will be great for D.C.‘s rais­ing star Wale who has been tapped along with Kid Cudi as being the next gen­er­a­tion of hip hop, although he has no arena expe­ri­ence under his belt so we’ll see. I am most inter­ested in see­ing what J. Cole has to bring to the tour.

 

There you go, hope­fully you all have your ticket already and if not, this should be just about all it takes for you to rush out and get one.
