Jay-Z & Mary J Touring This Spring
Thursday, February 7, 2008 By: Michael Ivey
What began in 1996 on a track called “Can’t Knock The Hustle” (‘Reasonable Doubt’), and continued in spots at Jay-Z’s live dates, is going full force in 2008-Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige begin their “Heart Of The City” Tour in Miami March 22. Tickets go on sales the day after Valentines’ Day (February 15).
The entire tour itinerary is TBA, but the duo with more than fifteen platinum records will reportedly grace stages in Baltimore, Toronto, Philly, LA, DC, New Jersey, and more. Jay-Z last year, via his tenth solo LP ‘American Gangster,’ tied Elvis for the most number one albums on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums. Mary J. Blige’s latest set ‘Growing Pains’ peaked at #1 and now sits at #6 on the chart.
Jay-Z’s last attempted R&B duet tour, with embattled singer R. Kelly, was a disaster, ending with Kelly suing the former Def Jam President/CEO.
