Two of hip-hop’s biggest institutions, Cash Money Records and No Limit Records, are joining forces for a tour that will stop in Memphis this week.
The Cash Money & No Limit Tour will play Downtown’s FedExForum on Saturday, Oct. 24. The concert bill will feature a star-studded lineup, including Master P, Birdman, Juvenile, Silkk the Shocker, Mannie Fresh, B.G., Mia X, Choppa Style, Mac, Mercedes, Fiend and Mr. Serv-On, along with special guest, Boosie Badazz.
The 17-city arena tour, which was announced earlier this summer, is being hyped as a historic summit between the two Louisiana-based record labels that “helped transform Southern hip-hop into a national force, expanding its influence far beyond the region and reshaping the business of music
in the process."
Here’s what to know ahead of the Cash Money & No Limit Tour stop at FedExForum.
Cash Money & No Limit Tour setlist
With about 10 concerts completed so far on the Cash Money & No Limit Tour, fans have been praising the shows, which — although ostensibly headlined by Birdman and Master P — offer a rotating series of performances from all the various artists, more of a cavalcade-style set.
Reports on the actual setlists have been limited, and apparently the setlists may change or be tailored to individual cities on the tour. But the sights and sounds of the one-time label rivals uniting for a victory lap tour has generated major buzz among '90s and ‘00s hip-hop heads.
"The fans have been waiting for a tour like this for a long time," Master P noted in a recent statement. "We came from New Orleans and built something the world had never seen before — movements that changed music, hip hop culture, and the business forever."
Are tickets still available for Cash Money & No Limit Tour in Memphis?
Tickets for the Cash Money & No Limit Tour stop at FedExForum have sold well, with all of the venue’s floor seats and lower bowl sections sold out, according to Ticketmaster.
However, tickets are still available at a few different price points. The cheapest seats, those located in the upper reaches of the 200 level sections, start at $102 and go up for $124.
A relatively limited number of seats in the Pinnacle sections, also in the 200 section but closer to the stage, start at $166 and go up to $187.
If you want to get any closer than that, you’ll have to seek out resale tickets on the secondary market.
