American rapper, Canibus, will perform at Ba**line in Johannesburg on the 2nd of April this year, a South African entertainment company has confirmed.
The show, organised by Urban Phenomenon Entertainment (UPE), is part of Canibus's promotional tour for his 9th studio album Melatonin Magik, his first in 2 years since For Whom The Bell Tolls in 2007.
Career
Canibus began rhyming in the mid-'90s and formed a duo called T.H.E.M (The Heralds of Extreme Metaphors) in 1995 . He worked with Atlanta rapper Webb (now called C.I., also known as Central Intelligence).
After starting his career with Fugee member Wyclef Jean, Canibus engaged in a long-lived beef with LL Cool J that propelled his stature in the hardcore underground. From his first album Can-I-Bus, the rapper followed up with 2000 B.C. and C True Hollywood Stories, both of which landed in the Billboard Top 200. Having eventually released eight full-length albums with aggregate sales close to 1 million units, Canibus established a loyal fan base of followers who anticipate each new release, and he's finally blessing them with another.
Melatonin Magik will feature the much-awaited Eminem diss track "Air Strike (Pop Killer)", which he did with D12 and DZK.
