Asked to Tour/Perform in the Czech Republic: Need Your Help
Greetings all, Im blessed to have been asked to come perform in the Czech Republic later this summer on waht is being billed the 2007 Crunk Tour. Southern/crunk music has become huge overseas and as part of their annual HipHop Kemp Festival in Prague myself, DJ Phinaprint, Tony B., and a few other artists have been asked to come tour the country for a month. Last year Skipp Coon was the featured artist thanks to photographer extraordinare Jaro Varek and his overseas connects. Im honored and excited as I just applied for my passport today.
We ask for your prayers and any assistance that you the public can offer us to help offset the costs of our trip. In addition to our flights (the only thing covered in this deal is that we will be on the scheduled tour stops), we'll be travelling the country city by city doing shows and will need transportation, gas, lodging etc. We've all been able to assist in this matter but still could use your help.
It will be a grand opportunity for us to go out as ambassadors for the state of Mississippi and could use your support. And we've already arranged to upload a video and email diary of our trip. Hopefully we can put up a tour blog to keep you folks on the JFP blog updated as we leave on our journey July 31st. Help these Mississippi artists rock the Czech Republic. Its an opportunity that only comes around once in a lifetime!!!! thanks
If you'd like to donate to the cause please contact Jaro at 601 212 8956/rentonx@aol.com or me at 601 817 6005 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) Pass this along to anyone you think may want to help. Peace.

The line-up reads like a who's who of hiphop. In fact Banner will be performing over there August 2nd. That'll be real Mississippi flavor. Ill post a link soon.
