The North and South will unite on an all-star tour in early 2000 when DMX and the rest of the Ruff Ryders crew hook up with Juvenile and his Cash Money family for a joint tour.
The outing, sponsored by "The Source" magazine, will feature Ruff Ryders DMX, Eve, Swizz Beatz, Drag-On, and The Lox, alongside Cash Money rappers Juvenile, Hot Boys, Lil' Wayne, Turk, B.G., and The Big Tymers.
The Ruff Ryders/Cash Money tour is currently slated to begin on February 9 in Providence, Rhode Island and will make its way around North America before wrapping up on April 15.
According to a representative of the Ruff Ryders camp, more dates may also be added. If the past year is any indication, the tour should be a sell out; hip-hop had its most successful year on the road in 1999 with Jay-Z's Hard Knock Life Tour, which also featured DMX.
