Gods of Rap II: DMX, Nas, Gang Starr and more announce UK arena dates

DMX will play his first UK show in more than 15 years as part of the Gods of Rap II arena concerts this year.

The tour — which enjoyed a sell-out run of dates last year — will be headlined by New York rap legend Nas, and hosted by famed producer and DJ Just Blaze.

DMX, who first rose to fame at the tail-end of the 90s with his debut album It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, will feature as part of the three-date tour, coming to the O2 in London on April 24.

Gang Starr will also appear at the concerts, following the release of their long-awaited comeback album One of the Best Yet in 2019. The Lox — comprised of Jadakiss, Sheek Louch and Styles P — complete the line-up.

How to get tickets for Gods of Rap at the O2
