I thought I'd introduce you guys to an artist I have come across with called Hollywood Holt, and his upcoming Hollywood Moon Tour alongside Kid Kudi. This guy has crazy amounts of energy on stage. I have seen him a couple times opening up for The Cool Kids already and he is a star, a lot of fun to watch. His tour is going to be bananas. Let me know what you think!!
Here is a clip of one of his performances for starters....

HOLLYWOOD HOLT BIO
Hollywood Holt is a star, and if you haven't heard of him yet, you better believe you will soon. Hollywood spits his smart and funny rhymes at shows all over the world, bringing people back to the more fun (but still innovative) side of hip hop.
Hollywood Holt has always had his hand in everything at once. He's a rapper, performer, break-dancer, DJ, and leader of Chicago's Murder Club Moped Crew, and still finds time to party like a rock star. Holt has been rapping ever since he could talk, spitting hot lines in battles as a kid and freestlying for whoever stopped to listen. Nowadays, more and more people are starting to stop and listen, and more and more people are digging what they hear. Whether it's a punk rock crowd or a bunch of hip hop heads, Holt is taking the music scene by storm and won't stop until he reaches the top.
Around two years ago, Hollywood Holt found the missing link to complete his persona. The link came in the form of his cousin, who is also his best friend, DJ and producer, Million Dollar Mano. Ever since the two linked up, Holt's game has been brought to a new level, creating an unstoppable, addictive and fresh style of music that is infecting everyone who hears it.
Hollywood Holt listens to everything, whether it's punk, hip-hop, or none of the above, and it shows in his own music. He loves Crass and The Clash just as much as Eazy-E and Mos Def. He listens to The Bird and The Bee, Trouble Andrew, and Young Jeezy. He doesn't care what you think about it either, because he knows his many influences only bring his music to a higher level than average hip hop. "My thing is - I'm very, very, big into punk rock, so when I perform, it's like a punk-rock show, but it's hip-hop music. The way I rock is crazy. I just go off."
Kid Cudi and Hollywood Holt, two of the nation's noted up and coming MCs, will be combining their respective skills for a tour of North America that kicks off in Baltimore on Sept. 23 and wraps on Oct. 1st in San Francisco. Brooklyn based (by way of Cleveland) Kid Cudi stunned denizens of the underground with his Fool's Gold debut track "Day 'N' Nite" which became a club staple worldwide in 2008, leading to a slot performing on NYC's Summer Stage Concert series alongside Fool's Gold label head A-Trak, Santogold, and Diplo. Hollywood Holt seems poised to take the mantle of hardest hustling man in the rap business. In under a year Holt has gone from playing at a local bowling alley to performing at Lollapalooza, sharing stages with such heavy hitters as Dizzee Rascal and Lupe Fiasco and having his Chocolate Industries debut video "Hollywood" premiered on Kanye West's blog. Tour dates and artist links below.
