Smashproof to tour New Zealand

Acclaimed South Auckland Hip-Hop superstars Smashproof (Tyree, Deach and Young Sid) have taken New Zealand by storm this year with their #1, platinum selling single ‘Brother’, and their debut album THE WEEKEND that debuted at #3 on the album charts in its first week of release.

The conceptual nature of THE WEEKEND is almost cinematic, and the trio weave in and out of complex topics, personal experiences and would-be scenarios with ease. Young Sid explains the album’s concept: “This is an album for everyone, it shows the social and emotional side of what could, or does go on during the weekend, from the time you clock out on Friday to the time you start work on Monday.”

While some may think Smashproof are new kids on the block, they have in fact been performing together since 2004. They have toured around Australia with Jay-Z, and performed twice at The Big Day Out. Being seasoned veterans of the tour circuit in New Zealand and Australia, the trio offer a confidence and swagger unparalleled in local Hip-Hop.

And now, this May, Smashproof are taking their show around New Zealand.

It’s been a long time since Smashproof have toured together and they are pretty excited about it. After the long wait, Smashproof and “The Weekend” Tour is coming to a venue near you…and its time to celebrate!
