This is the basic run down of my pre release promo tour. I got the idea of fan poaching with promo stickers/ a cd with one track not on my album rapping outside venues of other artists and it grew on me. I love the idea of it. I talked to Scroobius after hearing he had used similar tactics and he said it worked out really well for him so all that dates that say fan poaching street show are just going to be me doing my set in front of venues with a boom box handing out my promo stickers and info. Also, I will be playing a few actuall shows. Maybe a few more at places I haven’t heard back from yet. I’m too busy to be booking so I thought I’d make the best of it and roll this way til I get a manager or some shit. bookings not my thing.
That said, This entire promo trip is contigent on August 6th. The Jump off point. My friend has an extra ticket for the Asher Roth show in Phillie at the Electric Factory. My plan is to go in and nail him with a Curtis Plum promo cd during his set, not with a case, just a cd buy itself or maybe in a paper sleeve to just graze him on the head and throw him off while he’s rapping, I don’t think I’ll even have to connect to make him fuck up. I have been practicing my cd throwing technique for weeks and I’m super accurate at 15 to 20 feet. Its sort of a metaphor inacted in real life for what all dope hip hop will always do to mainstream watered down bullshit. So if they arrest me on an assualt charge the rest of the tour won’t happen but it will be worth it, I’ve done plenty of time so I’m not stressin, its a win win situation. This is a personal vendetta. I was planning on doing it anyway and I’ve been networking with people I know to do the same thing if there is an Asher Roth show in their area or if they see him at a club or whatever. I just thought it would be a good way to start off my tour. Its kind of a movement I’m trying to get going called the Everyone Nail Asher Roth With An Indie Hip Hop CD Movement. Its something I really believe in and hope others will too. This tour isn’t about me, its about making the world better for everyone by throwing cds at Asher Roth in public when he is trying to look cool.
Initially my trip back east was to visit some old friends and hit Asher Roth with a cd on stage but then I figured I might as well book a few shows and do some promo stuff while seeing the sights and taking it all in. Oh, just joking about the Asher Roth thing, I’m sure hes a really cool guy. I would never do that…….or would I?

I’m really flattered your coming to our show…but if you start fucking with our fans/show there will be problems. And why don’t you come open for Sage, or someone else on your label who can get booked at the iron horse and actually play a set for your/their fans, instead of “Poaching ours”? I mean, you could always hit us up and ASK us to open some time or do a gig swap!!?? You should tell Sage to come and watch our set, maybe he could put out our HIPHOP album- and sell some records.
Asher Roth is wack, we all know this.

Asher Roth is so wack ive been saying this
I do have a gig at the colonial theatre in Keene NH 8/21.
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read in my life. I have no idea if you actually nailed Asher Roth with a song, but I can hope. “I Love College” left out the part where Asher passes out on a couch and gets tea-bagged by big dude that does that at every college party ever. I bet you love college, Asher …
I just ordered the new album and I can’t wait to hear this stuff.
this shit great! curtis plum!
you should definitely tour in europe too, especially in munich, germany! love your music and i spread it, now all my friends love it too. you make a concert – i make sure the tickets are sold out in like no time!
