"WE ARE GOING ON TOUR WITH SNOOP DOGG BABY!!"

Today after teasing big news for a week, Dublin rap duo, Versatile announced they're going on tour with none other than Snoop Dogg. Joining him as an opening act for five tour dates, the boys known as Eskimo Supreme and Casper Walsh will join the Drop it like it's Hot rapper during the UK and Ireland leg of his tour - starting on April 10 in Belfast and ending on April 16 in Birmingham. This shows Versatile continuing to get incredible recognition from international artists. During the summer, the boys joined Coolio on stage at the Leopardstown Racecourse for Bulmers Live Festival. Speaking to Dublin Live ahead of his Irish performance, Coolio said:

"I'd love to work with Bono or U2. "There's some great Irish rap going on at the moment too. "I love Versatile, and how they keep the accent. Their lyrics sound hot as hell and original because they keep the accent."

Versatile also headlined Longitude during the summer and now, before they head on tour with Snoop Dogg they will take to the 3Arena this November to perform their first headline gig at the venue. The Dublin boys will also be the first Irish hip hop group to play and sell out the venue. The gig sold-out on the same day tickets went on sale with Eskimo Supreme saying: "I can't believe it!" Their latest track Prefontaine has almost three million views on YouTube - you can listen to it here.
