History is made by taking chances on something you and maybe a handful others believe in.

Such is the case of 3 friends waxing poetic in 2014 about creating an opportunity to perform outside of their home area, when said opportunity was not readily available.

Fast forward a little over 10 years, 110 cities, and 45 states later, the original think tank( a garage in Richmond, CA ) that consisted of Z-Man, True Justice, & Vocab Slick has, blossomed into a highly anticipated, annual showcase of Bay Area( and beyond ) Underground Hip Hop artists. Originally a west coast outing, the Slap Frost Tour( www.slapfrost.com ) spread its wings in 2018 by touching down in 4 cities down south and 3 mid west music hubs. 2020 brought the streetwise, elf( https://www.slapfrost.com/whoisslapfrost ) to whole country before being called home by the "Infamous Worldwide Reset". When the doors opened back up, this motley crew headed for Central Daylight Time for a complete run of the Midwest starting in Illinois and ending in Wisconsin with all destinations in between.

Now, you may think to yourself, "Great stats but who pays for all of this?" or even "Do you guys make any money?" The answer is, "It varies." and "That is always the plan.", respectively.

With no corporate sponsorship over the past decade, this artist driven effort has helped promote brands like: Yerba Mate, Ispire, Mendo Fresh, Bay Cal Brand Clothing, Backseat Productions, UBO Magazine, Cold World Clothing and more. 2025 brings us the 10th and FINAL Slap Frost Tour and we are turning to, YOU, our friends, family, supporters and kind strangers to sponsor this 100% independent rap vacation in the form of safe, comfortable lodging from Halloween night to November 15th, 2025.
