Dead prez's M-1 To Tour With Ghostface To Promote Debut Solo Album

(Brooklyn, NY February 22, 2006) One of hip-hop's rising stars and one of its most legendary figures are teaming up to take the country by storm. M-1 (of the group dead prez) will be joining Ghostface of the Wu-Tang Clan for the "Fishscale Tour."



M-1 burst into the public consciousness with the 2000 dead prez release Lets Get Free, a socially aware, politically driven masterpiece that was equally indebted to Malcolm X and Public Enemy. M-1's solo debut, Confidential, which features appearances by Q-Tip, K'naan, Cassandra Wilson, and a cut with dead prez cohort Sticman, will be released March 21st through Sotti/Koch records.



Ghostface is a founding member of the Wu-Tang clan and is considered one of rap's most revered solo artists. His 1999 album Supreme Clientele was named one of the "Top 10 Albums of All Time" by VIBE Magazine. His upcoming album Fishscale will be released on March 28th.
