Roc The Mic Tour Coming This Summer
Source: The Elements
Author: A to The L

Jay-Z has confirmed his participation in a tour with 50 Cent this summer.

Roc-a-fella Records says the tour will be called Roc the Mic, and Jigga will be closing out the shows each night.

According to Roc-A-Fella, there will be different versions of the opening lineup in various cities, with Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, Sean Paul and Fabolous all tapped to join the bill on select dates.

50 will be bringing G-Unit member Lloyd Banks onstage with him, and Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek and Freeway are slated to back up Jay on his performances. It is still unclear whether the trio's appearance on the Roc the Mic Tour will conflict with them going out on the Roc Army Tour, which is tentatively scheduled to ramp up at the end of May.

In the meantime, 50 will continue on his own road show. The Queens rhymesmith is hitting up theaters with the Clipse until the middle of this month, and then he'll head overseas with Eminem for a few dates before he and Hova kick things off.
