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.
