Don’t Ever Disrespect Me: NEMS Kicks Off Canadian Tour Aug. 8

Hold on to your snapbacks, Canada. Coney Island’s own street king, NEMS, is about to storm the Great White North with his Don’t Ever Disrespect Me Canadian Tour, presented by NEMS’ Goliath Records, Six Star Records, and the good people at The Ends. Joined by the legendary producer and mixtape maestro Scram Jones, this tour promises to be a seismic event for Canadian heads.

Kicking off on August 8 at The Queens Nightclub in Barrie, NEMS will set the tone with his raw, unapologetic bars and larger-than-life persona. From there, the FYL General will tear through Toronto’s Rockpile on August 9, bring the heat to Hamilton’s Vertagogo on August 10, and light up London’s Club Fuego on August 11.

After a short break to catch their breath, NEMS and Scram will return to deliver knockout performances at Ottawas Mavericks on August 14 and Montréal’s Le Belmont on August 15. The tour culminates on the East Coast in what promises to be an unforgettable finale at Halifax’s Marquee Ballroom on August 16. Each stop is set to bring a unique flavor, ensuring fans experience NEMS’ gritty New York energy up close and personal.

Tickets are flying, so snag yours now at NEMSOnTour.com.

NEMS and Scram have a ton of collaborations in their catalogue including the Ghostface Killah-assisted “Don’t Ever Disrespect Me” single, the Dave East and Uncle Murda-assisted “NY Is Killing Me,” and more. Last August, the pair released the joint album, RISE OF THE SILVERBACK, which was described by Apple Music as “confrontational street raps packaged in cinematic boom bap.”
