The members of one of last year’s best-selling artists, rap group Rip Slyme, are to play five solo gigs on April 1st. Each event — featuring rappers Ryo-Z, Su, Pes, Ilmari or DJ Fumiya — will take place at a separate live house in Tokyo’s Shibuya area and all will kick off at 6pm. Which member will play which venue will not be announced. The unusual “April Fool Special” schedule will no doubt create publicity for their upcoming new live Budokan album, “Rip Slyme Orchestra Plus.”
