Indie Hip-hop’s Humble Beast Records announced their Spotlight Tour, which seeks to rally masses to their “conversations” pertaining to the ongoing issues inherent across the nation, and rappers Propaganda and Sho Baraka stand at the frontlines.
The two are scheduled to embark on six stages, beginning with their first stop in San Diego on October 21, traversing through Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and their last one in Houston on November 4.
“Each night we hope to dive deep into the topics of compassion, unity, ethics, race, faith, and the church,” explained the header on the event’s main page, “Our hope is that by bringing these conversations to the forefront each night, we can move past the Twitter rants and Facebook debates to a place where people are no longer disillusioned, but inspired and equipped to step back into their communities with fresh eyes, compassion in their hearts, good news on their lips.”
“I believe in creating environments where healthy dialogue can take place,” mentioned Sho regarding his induction to the Humble Beast family. Prior to this, Sho had been a founding member of Reach Records and accomplished widespread prominence across the underground scene.
Event information also addressed that attendees will witness fresh content off of Sho Baraka’s upcoming album. For more, check out their official webpage.

Meanwhile, the duo’s other half presents as no stranger to social matters. Capturing audiences with his spoken word poem “20 Years”, Propaganda directs his voice towards specific subjects, such as the upcoming election as well as the recent shootings—all of which Prop regards as “initiative” for such a tour.
“With the election being as intense as it is, and protests and riots breaking out all over the country, it’s [time] to unpack some truth way deeper than a tweet can hold,” expressed Prop in an interview with DX, “It’s time to be really 100 with folks.”
