Slightly Stoopid, Snoop Dogg get 'Blazed and Confused'
Reggae, hip-hop and punk acts will go hand in hand this summer as Slightly Stoopid , Snoop Dogg and Stephen Marley join forces for the "Blazed and Confused" tour of North America.
The outing launches July 10 in Primm, NV, hitting amphitheaters in 17 cities nationwide, as well as a July 22 stop in Vancouver. The month-long trek finishes up on East Coast with a final performance slated for Aug. 8 in Mansfield, MA. Details are below.
Snoop Dogg, who will spend the first two weeks of May on the road with his crew in support of his forthcoming album, "Malice in Wonderland," considers Slightly Stoopid "his nephews," musically speaking, according to a press release.
"Ya'll just make sure ya'll tune in because Snoop Dogg and Slightly Stoopid, we gonna be rippin', rockin', flippin', floppin', hippin' and hoppin' in a 'hood near you," the rapper said in a statement.
Reggae-influenced punk-rockers Slightly Stoopid embarked on their first headlining run of US amphitheaters last summer and will continue supporting their 2008 album, "Slightly Not Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid," this go-round. The record, which marks the group's ninth release, includes outtakes, rarities and "brand new studio joints," according to the band's website.
Stephen Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley, dropped his solo debut, "Mind Control," in 2007 and watched it climb to the top of Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart. His first single from the effort, "The Traffic Jam," was later remixed by Snoop Dogg and dubbed the "Traffic Main Answer."
