NEW YORK (Legal Drug Money Records) - Former Lost Boyz front man
Mr. Cheeks is heading out on a month long U.S. tour featuring legendary producer Pete Rock and Truth Hurts. The tour will feature songs from Cheeks' album 'Ladies & Ghettomen' due to hit stores in late
September on Cheeks' Legal Drug Money Records. "I came up with that album title because that's what I deal with," says Cheeks.
The tour kicks off August 3rd at SOB's in New York City hitting 16 cities throughout the US on the way and wrapping up in Philadelphia at the end of the month.
The single "It's Alright" features Truth Hurts, and is the first single from Cheeks forthcoming 'Ladies and Ghettomen' album, which features production by Pete Rock.
Rock and Cheeks met each other years ago and decided to make their new collaboration a modern day take on the smooth, soulful sound that both Cheeks and Rock helped popularize in the 90's. "The fans haven't heard from me in a while and they haven't heard from Pete in a while, so we just hit them in the head with that flavor that's still poppin off."
'Ladies and Ghettomen' marks the first release on Cheeks' up and coming Legal Drug Money Records through a deal with Contango Records.
Now with his own label and his 'Ladies and Ghettomen' album and the tour, Mr. Cheeks is ready to unload another satisfying batch of his signature brand of good-natured music, along with Pete Rock, and Truth Hurts.
