Friday 22nd of September, The foundation and the Pearl presents N.B.S and Jackson Turner for the first date of their Asian tour and only date in Shanghai!

Rappers N.B.S. and Jackson Turner will be kicking off their Asia tour in Shanghai this September. Sponsored by Boston clothing companies The Citi Team and Vets Wear, the tour will pass through three Asian countries-China, Malaysia and Japan. In Shanghai, the rappers will be supported by DJ B-Kut and Foundation affiliated artists such as Tone Perignon, Superstar and JayEsGee. Get ready for a hard hitting night of hip-hop, with styles ranging from boom-bap to trap, street to political.

 

N.B.S. is a Boston-based rap duo comprised of cousins E'Flash and Vee Knuckles. The duo has been pursuing their musical dreams since they were kids. Though related, and having similar experiences, their lyrical styles are contrasting yet harmonious. With influences such as Kool G Rap and Nas, V Knuckles' flow adds a raw, witty, energetic element to compliment the smoother and calmer style of E Flash. Together, according to DJ Dow Jones of Night Life Types DJs/Shadyville DJs/Coast to Coast All-star DJs, "they are true vets in the game when it comes to business, writing, and performing. Formula for guaranteed success." They display verbal excellence over hard beats with compelling melody.
