HOMOREVOLUTION TOUR 2007 is the first Ever HomoHop Tour of the Pacific Southwest, a tour of GAY, Lesbian and Bisexual rap & hip hop artists.

Gay Hip Hop or "homohop" as it has been called has been around for awhile in the underground but it was brought to the attention of the larger LGBT Community in Alex Hinton's 2005 ..ary about the genre, "Pick up the Mic". The 90 minute film profiled 18 LGBT hip hop artists throughout the world. Pick up the Mic debuted on MTV Network's LOGO in October.

This tour will possibly be the focus of a Reality show with Rachel Powell (My Life as A Sitcom) serving as Executive Producer. We are looking for a Production Company or Network to pick it up.

Deadlee's 2007 CD is entitled "Intifada", which is an Arabic word for "uprising". Bigg Nugg's 2007 release is titled "La Revolucion". Melange Lavonne is toying with the idea of "Revolution" as a title for her next work. It's a growing theme...after 6 years of persecution and suppression by the Bush led right wing, we are not taking it any more. We are standing up, gathering our voices and speaking out in the form of hip hop and rap. 2006 saw great change, 2007 we will see it musically. It is not just a revolution against those who oppress us sexually but also musically. Those who would say "don't come out of the closet, don't be a gay rapper" or those who would keep the Gay Hip Hop genre a niche market. We revolt and rebel against that concept. A gay kid shouldn't be surprised to find a gay rapper on LOGO while waiting for the next Gwen Stefani video. Today's LGBT Community should know we exist.

Touring is expensive. The Southwest was selected because it is a region that is almost in most of our backyard (figuratively speaking) and contains alot of gay youth who are attracted to the Artists and the messages they bring.

If we receive funding to tour other areas of the U.S. and our schedule allows, we will be happy to add other regions. There will be a mini-tour of 3-4 Midwest cities in October 2007 including Indianapolis and Minneapolis. As soon as additional dates are finalized we will post them here.

DEADLEE has garnered much press with his groundbreaking, genre-screwing approach, attracting cover stories in Gay City News and Choice magazines and many feature stories. His television and radio appearances include CNN, the Tyra Banks Show, Howard Stern and NPR. His style is a blend of hip-hop and rap, with a thrash rock undercurrent, his lyrics have tackled race, class, sex, and even police brutality. DEADLEE has earned his position as a key player in music's latest underground movement, gay rap/hip hop. The documentary on homohop, “Pick up the Mic” showcased him in some of the film.

Said Gay.com's Josh Tager: "Like many of his rap peers, Deadlee's albums are intense, writhing outbursts of anger. The notable distinction here is that when Deadlee bashes, he's bashing back. He is a vigilante for social justice, committed to confronting homophobia wherever he sees it." The video for “Good Soldier II” from his last album, “Assault with a Deadlee Weapon” was on the LOGO Click List Top 10 Chart for half a year and claimed the Number One position.

Deadlee’s music is available on CDBaby.com and iTunes.
