“I am thrilled to be heading to Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida for my first tour of 2010,” said the multi-award winning producer and Bahamian hip hop icon. “I’m even more excited that this is the first tour I’m doing with my eight-month old son Jojo along for the ride, especially since he said his first word, ‘Hi’ the other day to help greet fans. My wife Radel and I recently got his passport and he’s already well behaved in a studio and it’s definitely a different feeling you get onstage when you know your child is watching you create a legacy for them to live up to. It feels awesome. I love having my family with me as I have set aside a whole day on the tour in 2010 just to spend quality time with them.”

Along with meet and greets at several popular Tampa venues, Manifest is booked for interviews with local media. At the invitation of holy hip hopper Urban D, Manifest will be performing at Crossover Hip Hop Church on January 17^th. Visitors to www.crossoverchurch.org can also watch a live webcast of his performance at 7pm. During his tour, Manifest will also reveal another side to his fans as he gets set to be a part of a major campaign.

“For the past decade, we’ve been hard at work in the Dunamus lab helping launch new artists and raising the standard,” he said. “2010 is a year where we decided work outside the studio and outside the Bahamas and Caribbean region to meet some fans and supporters first hand through tours. We’re looking to add more to the fan base and ultimately share the message of hip hope, and to help create a lil’ better buzz about the newest album which should be out in April.  The Tampa fans have the chance will get limited edition full length pre-albums and so I am very much looking forward to that.”
