LL Cool J's F.O.R.C.E. tour stopping in Baltimore with surprise guests
BALTIMORE -- Grammy Award-winning artist LL Cool J is headlining and curating a unique tour of hip-hop legends, and it's coming to Baltimore this summer.
The F.O.R.C.E. (Frequencies of Real Creative Energy) Live tour is stopping at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore on July 1.
This won't be a traditional show with openers, but a nonstop musical mashup with various artists. It's building off of the Grammy Awards performance celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop earlier this year.
So, which artists are coming to Baltimore for the show? Promoters haven't said which performers will be in which city, but Baltimore is definitely in for a treat.
The rotating cast of iconic acts includes Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, Rakim, Common, MC Lyte, Method Man & Redman, Big Boi, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Ice T, Rick Ross and more.
LL will perform each night with The Roots and legendary DJs Jazzy Jeff and Z-Trip, who put on the grand Grammys performance.
We’re going on tour!!
