Fresh, Slick Rick, De La Soul, Goodie Mob, Jadakiss, Rick Ross, Method Man, and Redman for select shows.
The official announcement for the tour featured a statement from the hip-hop star, real name James Todd Smith, which read: "Unlike the traditional 'opening act – headliner' format, the show will be a nonstop musical mash up with artist performances interwoven within one continuous musical set backed by The Roots."
