New Orleans icons Cash Money Records and No Limit Records — two of the most legendary labels in hip-hop history — are taking their Verzuz battle last year to arenas nationwide later this year with a tour featuring Master P, Birdman, Juvenile, Silkk The Shocker, Mannie Fresh, B.G, Mia X, Choppa Style, Mac, Mercedes, Fiend and Mr. Serv-On, with Boosie as special guest.
The 17-city arena tour is scheduled to launch on September 11 in Houston at Toyota Center, with additional stops in New Orleans, Atlanta, Raleigh, Detroit, Indianapolis, Birmingham, Dallas, Washington, D.C., Columbia, St. Louis, Memphis, Sunrise, Tampa, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Cleveland.
“The fans have been waiting for a tour like this for a long time,” said Master P. “We came from New Orleans and built something the world had never seen before — movements that changed music, hip hop culture, and the business forever.”
The significance of the tour will not be lost on those with knowledge of hip-hop history: No Limit and Cash Money helped transform Southern hip-hop into a national force and showed the power of artist-led labels.
The team rosters break down thus: Cash Money stars Birdman, Juvenile, Mannie Fresh and B.G., while No Limit players are Master P, Silkk The Shocker, Mia X, Mac, Fiend, Choppa Style and Mr. Serv-On. Boosie joins as a special guest.
