Ditch rocked a solid, heated set at House Of Blues Hollywood last night (September 18th 2011). The show was filled with special effects, heavy lighting and fog.

Pepper spray, and an over capacity crowd doesn’t stop powerful Ditch performance in Santa Ana

Ditch opened for Suga Free once again last night (Friday September 16th 2011) at Malones in Santa Ana, California amidst madness of an overheated and over packed crowd. The club was filled to capacity at 10pm, hours before Ditch was to take the stage, leading to heavy drinking and upset people outside who were told the show was sold out. Just before Ditch was about to take the stage, a fight broke out in the crowd of about 800 plus people. A pepper (mase) bomb was sprayed inside of the club, causing people to panic and get outside air. Ditch’s bodyguard had advised him to step outside of the building so as to not be affected by the pepper spray, but Ditch insisted he wasn’t going anywhere until he performed as planned. At one point Ditch could feel the effects of the pepper spray, but that didn’t stop him from rushing to the stage opening his set with “Get Em Up”. Ditch tore through his other songs, before thanking the crowd. Suga Free then took to the stage performing his hits. Ditch will perform this Sunday at House Of Blues Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California. Video of the concert is now up at www.youtube.com/ditch420 . Ditch is sponsored by Hydropot Grow Juice and FFP Clothing. Ditch’s official website is www.lethaltendermusic.com .

Ditch performs at Intche festival in Oakland, CA

Ditch performs at Intche festival in Oakland, CA
Ditch just returned from a busy weekend, first playing the main stage at Playground Festival in Irvine, CA then heading to Oakland to perform at the Intche festival. The International Cannabis and Hemp Expo was held for the first time this year in Oakland, California’s downtown after several successful years at the the Cow Palace in San Francisco, CA. The festival was attended by thousands of people who came out to experience legalized medicating on the premises with cannabis, vendors, food, music and more. Ditch performed on the main stage of the event, which was located on the steps of the capital building of Oakland. Ditch’s set was not without controversy, as Ditch was notified a few days before his arrival that the Oakland Police Department had concerns about Ditch performing on the main stage, and attempted to halt his performance. Despite the controversy and attempted prior restraint, Ditch went onstage as planned and his music was not censored. Ditch then spent time mingling with some of the whom he plans to work with in the future. Ditch’s performance on this event was sponsored by Hydropot Grow Juice, Natures Diamonds, Smashtray and Treehouse of San Jose. Ditch will perform with Suga Free September 16th 2011 at Malones in Santa Ana, Ca and September 18th 2011 at House Of Blues in Hollywood, CA.

The crowd was dispersed and the incident simmered. There has still been no word from Playground Festival organizers as to why the 3 biggest hip hop acts on the bill did not show up to perform, despite months of lengthy promotion for all the artists on the bill.

Ditch to open for Suga Free again September 16th 2011 in Santa Ana California

Ditch has had a busy Summer; performing on Playground Festival (opening for Game, Lil Jon, E40, Too Short, Yg, Big Sean, New Boyz, The Cataracts, Panic At The Disco and more), the Intch Festival, being the sole opener for Ice T and Coco in Texas, and co headlining the Sacramento Hempfest (opening for Warren G and Flesh N Bone). Now Ditch will kick off Fall 2011 opening for Suga Free at Malone’s in Santa Ana, California. Ditch opened for Suga Free at the The Vibe in Riverside back in January of 2011. Now Ditch will once again open for the legendary Pomona, California rapper Suga Free. Ditch has recorded with; Shock G, Eek-A-Mouse, Hot Dollar, Cashis, Bishop Don Magic Juan, and Chali 2na in his 12 year career as an artist. Born Dejuan Rice (born January 17, 1970), Suga Free, is an American rapper from Pomona, California. He is considered a regional artist, whose fanbase primarily resides in Southern California, but his fanbase there is intensely loyal. Within his fanbase, he is well-known for his unorthodox flow - he can rap at incredible speeds with wild variations in meter - his highly syncopated and staccato delivery, and his unashamed self-presentation as an authentic and flamboyant street pimp. Suga Free was born in Oakland and raised in Compton, later becoming based in Pomona, California. He is somewhat unusual among rappers who claim to “pimp” in that he actually was (and possibly still is) an actual pimp, having made his living from managing street prostitutes before. He has stated that his rapping is actually secondary to his pimping career, though this may have changed somewhat in recent years. He began his professional rapping career working with DJ Quik, with Quik serving as the producer on his debut album, Street Gospel, released in 1997, which reached number 27 on the Billboard R&B albums chart. The album fell short of commercial expectations, but was praised by many underground rap fans in California, and is seen as a “street classic” by many of them. The DJ Quik production on this album was considered to be refreshing compared to the stereotypical West Coast G-Funk sound that had dominated most of the early 90’s, as he incorporated elements of jazz, funk, rhythm and blues, and even rock and roll to create instrumentals that caught the ears of many listeners. Ditch’s official website is www.lethaltendermusic.com . Malone’s Santa Ana is located at 604 E. Dyer Rd, Santa Ana, Ca. Tickets to the event are $15.00 presale and $20.00 at the door. The event is 21 and over only to attend. The Ditch and Suga Free show is promoted by Out Da House Productions and Tree-post.
