Sydney hip hop artist The Tongue has announced a nationwide tour for this June in support of his third album Surrender To Victory.
Released through Elefant Traks in March this year, Surrender To Victory sees The Tongue, aka Xannon Shirley, at his lyrical best backed by super producer Cam Bluff.
Over the past few years The Tongue has become known for his electric live performance, often co-anchored by DMC champ DJ Skoob on stage. Recently the Australian rapper made an appearance at 2012’s Vivid Live Elefant Traks vs Dr Seuss at the Sydney Opera House, which you can watch here.
