Naughty by Nature celebrates 20th anniversary with tour, album still in the works
Veteran rappers Naughty by Nature are putting the final touches on their upcoming 20th anniversary album "Anthem Inc.," now scheduled for a late summer release.
In the meantime, the New Jersey-based trio continues criss-crossing the planet on its global 20th anniversary tour, having recently made stops in Australia, France, Britain, Russia, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, and Denmark, before returning stateside to embark on the North American leg of the tour.
"I'm discombobulated right now. I don't know what's going on, really ... I don't know what day it is, I don't know what time it is," says DJ Kay Gee in a YouTube clip, sitting next to his luggage in an unnamed airport and shaking his head with amused bewilderment at the frenetic travel schedule he and the crew have been on.
Included in Naughty by Nature's confirmed tour dates are appearances at the Essence Music Festival and Montreux Jazz Festival.
