<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe trio had touched down in each city not just as touring acts, but as cultural ambassadors who helped transform crunk and horrorcore from a regional sound into a global phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tour first came about as a way to help promote the La Chat-focused documentary The Other Queen of Memphis, a short film directed by Belgian artist Luna Mahoux. \u201cOnce the documentary was done, Luna helped me put together a tour so that we could so some shows along with the screenings,\u201d explains La Chat. \u201cWe decided to make it a whole Memphis-based showcase, which is where Tommy and Spanish Fly came in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tour kicked off at the historical Bourse de Commerce in Paris, a gorgeous exhibition space built in 1763. \u201cIt was high, high energy, man\u201d recalls Spanish Fly. \u201cIt was off the chain. Performing in this historical museum in Paris is something that nobody there will ever forget.\u201d Chat shared these sentiments, saying \u201cParis was great and a perfect way to boost everything off. It gave me that motivation. These folks were really live!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fact that a group of self-taught rap artists from the streets of Memphis found themselves being celebrated in front of haute Parisian society may seem a bit crazy (including to the artists themselves), but it was yet another example of the Bluff City\u2019s global impact. Although Tommy Wright III and Spanish Fly had previously toured in Europe, this was La Chat\u2019s first time on the other side of the pond. \u201cIt was crazy, because outside of the London show, I of course couldn\u2019t understand the different languages, but they would be singing all of my lyrics during the shows,\u201d she says. \u201cI have to shout out the Barcelona show especially\u2026that crowd was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, the trio\u2013along with the notable addition of Crunchy Black, Gangsta Pat, and DJ Zirk\u2013will be bringing their globe-spanning show back for a homecoming show on Halloween night. On Friday, October 31st, Shangri-La Records is bringing the Memphis Rap Ogz showcase to Minglewood Hall for an epic hip-hop family reunion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \u201cAs far as what I\u2019m expecting for Halloween night? I\u2019m expecting Memphis, mane. I know my people are gonna show out and show love. It\u2019ll be a night to remember,\u201d says Chat. As for DJ Spanish Fly, he promises \u201ca legendary night\u2026Forreal, we\u2019re planning to show up and to show out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By the time their breakneck tour of Europe was finally over, a sense of both exhaustion and accomplishment were felt by Tommy Wright III, La Chat, and DJ Spanish Fly.
