As
the Dip Set ramps up for their Interscope album, the collective will set out
on a nine-city nationwide tour.
Harlem rap collective, The Diplomats, have been extremely visible since their
2010 reconciliation. In addition to moving their operation to Interscope, the
group has recorded tracks with Dr. Dre and are reportedly putting the finishing
touches on an album featuring all Dip Set members. While the paperwork is being
finished, the collective will set out on a nine-date, nationwide tour.
Newcomer Vado will also be joining in. In addition to fan favorites, the tour
should also provide an opportunity for Jim Jones to further promote his upcoming
album, Capo, which is scheduled for an April 5 release. More dates are expected
to be announced in addition to the ones currently listed.
