Noah23 Preps New Album, Tour
9/3/2008 By Vish Khanna

Underground hip-hop star Noah23 is set to rule the Canadian rap game in 2008, with his latest album, Rock Paper Scissors. Due out September 23 on his own Plague Language imprint, as well as iTunes via Legendary Entertainment, Rock Paper Scissors promises to be Noah23’s defining artistic statement, something faithful fans have been waiting for since 2004’s Jupiter Sajitarius, the prolific Guelph, ON-based MC’s last proper solo album, not including side-project releases by the likes of the Clout, the Fool, Famous Playaz, Weird Apples, Bourgeois Cyborgs and Crunk23.

With artists from France, Germany, the United States of America, Canada and more on-board, the album’s guest-list is impressive but all eyes are on Noah to see if he can back up his boasts about this long-in-the making new album. Check Noah23 for yourself at select tour dates listed below.
