Queer hip-hoppers Yo! Majesty have announced their reunion with both a new track and a tour. The last we heard from Shunda K and Shon B officially was back in 2008 with their release Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid. Although you could count the group’s cameo appearance on Star Guitar’s song Flavor from this spring. K also dropped her full-length album, The Most Wanted, as a full-fledged solo artist.
But just before the long weekend, I got the note that the two are back together and although they aren’t hitting Dallas, they head to Austin’s Beauty Bar this Friday. K does double duty rapping solo as the opener on the entire tour. Their entire itinerary is after the jump.
And here’s “Cherry Pop,” the track release by the duo previewing a new album. The dance-hop track is somewhat addictive with some major high energy. We’ll see how the album plays out.
