THE PHARCYDE'S TRE HARDSON
HITS THE ROAD WITH ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT'S SPEECH
FOR THE RAP RENEGADES TOUR.
LOOK FOR TRE'S NEW ALBUM, SLIMKID3'S CAFÉ,
IN STORES APRIL 4th.
With his "Roots Love and Culture" single featuring MC Lyte still a heavy-hitter on the underground hip hop scene, Tre Hardson has announced an April 4th release for his highly anticipated new album, SlimKid3's Café.
Departing slightly from his Pharcyde roots, Tre has put together a new band, Fuqawi, and a sexy, soulful sound based in live instrumentation rather than DATs and turntables. Hardson's new record, SlimKid3's Café, offers a much needed alternative to the current hip-hop "bling" trend and further solidifies him as one of the great musical innovators of this generation.
"Tre Hardson has to be one of the most unique artists around right now," says Ugo Stevano, CEO of Flying Baboon Inc., Hardson's record label. "People from all different backgrounds are feeling Tre's style on the record, and at his live show."
In support of SlimKid3's Café, Tre will be embarking on a national tour, Rap Renegades Tour, with his 5-piece band Fuqawi and another alternative hip-hop artist, Speech of Arrested Development (www.speechmusic.com). Also on the bill are Modill (www.modill.com) and Longshot (www.evproductions.net), who will spin the party started.
The Rap Renegades Tour will begin on the west coast in April and eventually comb the country by summer 2006. Current confirmed tour dates are as follows:
April 06 Mazzotti's Arcata CA
April 07 The Grove Bend OR
April 08 Latitude 21 Eugene OR
April 09 Berbati's Pan Portland OR
April 10 The Capitol Theatre Olympia WA
April 12 Hell's Kitchen Tacoma WA
April 13 Chop Suey Seattle WA
April 14 The Boulevard Spokane WA

For tickets and show information please visit www.trehardson.com. More dates to be announced.
Following the release of SlimKid3's Café, and the completion of the Rap Renegades Tour in the US, Flying Baboon Inc. plans to re-release Hardson's highly sought-after full-length LP Liberation, distributed through EMI. Liberation features collaborations with some of music's most adventurous artists, such as; MC Lyte, Kim Hill, Chali 2na of Jurassic5, Saul Williams and N'Dea Davenport. The recording received high accolades and established Tre Hardson as a solo artist and a musical force to contend with. The video, "Just Can't Hold," from the recording has enjoyed extended airplay on VH1 and the track is featured on the soundtrack of this year's Sundance favorite, Face (Hi-Rise Records). In support of the re-release of Liberation, Tre Hardson will tour Europe in Fall 2006.
