It's been a wild ride. The Slap Frost Tour was conceived by 3 friends in a garage in Richmond, California in 2014. Originally the goal was to get out of the greater San Francisco Bay Area to share the collective talents of a battle tested, veteran DJ, a reformed wordsmith and an exceptional entertainer. After the inaugural 12 city run throughout 7 states, True Justice, Vocab Slick and Z-Man realized this independent "rap vacation" could be a platform not only for established acts but for up and coming talent who have never been on tour before. In the subsequent years the Slap Frost Tour has traveled to 110 cities and 45 states producing a decade of incredible performances.2025 brings us the 10th and Final Slap Frost Tour
