"I don't mind a rock crowd," says Skinny DeVille of Kentucky's Nappy Roots, who will head out with Jay-Z, N.E.R.D., Talib Kweli and rockers 311 and Hoobastank on the Sprite Liquid Mix Tour starting August 20th in Wantagh, New York. "Rock fans come to party, bodysurf, and we try to give them a little bit of Kentucky, because that's a crowd we don't have, and we want them."
The show will last six hours, and for the finale, Jay-Z will be joined by his Roc-a-Fella crew, including Beanie Sigel, Cam'ron and Memphis Bleek.
