Aotearoa hip hop icon JessB is joining forces with Sydney dancehall artist Gold Fang for an Australasian tour, hitting Pōneke's Valhalla on 30th June and Tāmaki Makaurau's Whammy Bar on 1st July — plus double-headline dates across the ditch in Sydney and Melbourne. Drawing from afro-beat and dancehall inspirations on JessB's new single 'Moment', the member of all-African Aotearoa hip hop crew BLKCITY has been paving the way for her new album (set for late 2023) with high profile international appearances at SXSW, BIGSOUND and The Great Escape festival. Emerging in 2021 with breakout single ‘Where Yuh From’, the fast-rising Trinidadian-born, Sydney-based Gold Fang is also celebrating fresh material in the form of his debut mixtape SMOOVE KILLA on the five date tour. Check out the Connie Ca$h-directed video for JessB's 'Moment' made with support from NZ On Air, and don't miss both artists bringing the party at the following dates...
