Yellow Boyz will headline the Asian Hip Hop Summit: Year of the Dragon Tour, which begins at the University of Georgia on April 2 and concludes in Brooklyn at Public Assembly on May 6. Yellow Boyz, a hip hop trio from Atlanta, are rumored to be negotiating an unprecedented "double" recording deal for both the United States and Korea. This tour will take Yellow Boyz to the West Coast for the first time.
College stops include Yale University, UCLA, and UC San Diego. A few cities will be hosting an Asian Hip Hop Summit for the first time, such as Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, and Tacoma, WA. Yellow Boyz will be joined on the road by Lyricks/Manifest/JL from Virginia, Smokes from Wisconsin, Decipher from Philadelphia, and Mike B from Los Angeles. Major Summits that are not to be missed include Dallas on April 10 at KTX, Los Angeles on April 18 at UCLA's Fowler Museum, San Francisco on April 22 at Brick and Mortar, and Minneapolis on May 4 at Epic.
To herald the coming of spring and the unfolding of their tour, Yellow Boyz have also released the new video for their song "Snapback Season".
