Event Description

The West Coast Express Tour is stopping in Duncan on the second leg of its 2023 Tour, with a vibrant night of top shelf Hip-Hop Music. This stacked showcase of some of Western Canada's best performers includes Mo Moshiri of the venerated Van City hip hop collective Sweatshop Union, Vancouver Island based independent artist and Canada’s #1 TikTok Live Host, Sirreal (fresh off of opening for Method Man and Redman on their recent Vancouver tour stop.) The co-headlining acts are rounded out by Vancouver's very own Rozmo & Kid Lithium, celebrating their new album release, Its Them.

But the talent doesn’t end there, with even more local support from REVRON, WISEGUY, XAVIER FRANCIS, LENNON, OCTIV6 and OBE G.

"The idea for this tour was conceived one drunken night after a Mo Moshiri show in eastvan,” recalls Rozmo. “After Mo's set, we mobbed to Timmy Boombap's studio and the idea was tossed out over beers and unreleased Def3 music. Since then, we've kept in touch and now have plans to reach 6 cities across the province. On top of that, my new album with Kid Lithium, 'ITS THEM', is freshly available, so we have a group of new bangers to pop off with on stage. Overall, we are hella hyped to travel with the homies and tap in with new faces across the province."


“A very well rounded lineup and a very hype, tightly manicured evening is what you can expect when the West Coast Express tour rolls through your city.” - Matt “Sirreal” Dunae


SIRREAL
“For Sirreal, connection drives his music. He is inspired most by the ability to help people feel less alone through the messages they can relate to within his art. Losing his brother, father and 2 best friends to suicide, Sirreal knows the effect that suicide can have on families, communities and those left behind. He wants his message to make a difference, letting people know that they are not alone with their struggles.”

MO MOSHIRI
“Through his work with Sweatshop Union and his stellar solo work, Mo Moshiri pays respect to the culture every time he picks up the mic. His rhymes are reflective, celebratory and overflowing with feeling.

ROZMO
“Vancity rapper Rozmo is an emerging artist making his own mark on the city's music scene. From his locally coveted 'Clockwork Cypher' series to a consistent slew of shows & music releases, his commitment to the craft is unmatched. Whether he's dropping tunes solo, or with his partner in rhyme Kid Lithium, you can always expect elite content from this young creative.”

KID LITHIUM
“Kid Lithium is a rapper and producer from Vancouver, Canada. Known for his witty and somewhat dark subject matter, this self produced talent has many songs that push the boundaries of conventional hip hop. Kid Lithium released his magnum opus #dreamachine in 2014. He has also produced music for other local Vancouver artists such as Snak the Ripper and East Side Magic.”
