The west coast rap icon and hip hop hood legend Xzibit launches the Back II Basics World Tour on May 5 in Brussels, and wraps things up June 26 in Adelaide. The west coast hip hop legend and host of MTV’s Pimp My Ride, Xzibit, will be rocking the mic to promote his 6th solo album, Full Circle, released in October 2006. To kick off the Back II Basics tour Xzibit will take part in the Gumball 3000 Rally - a 5000km (3000mile) car rally that winds its way throughout Europe. In a recent interview the hip hop notable Xzibit shows how dedicated he is to get the tour started. ''I can''t wait to get back out there to Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the UK, Germany; you know what I''m saying, [then] come back to the States and kill it!” Xzibit continues “Full Circle is the strongest record that I''ve put out for a long time man - as far as I''m concerned. Just where the material came from, how strong the material sounds; you know what I''m saying - and the way it came together.” The rapper and hip hop notable has found a broader audience since landing his role on MTV's "Pimp My Ride," which films custom auto makeovers awarded to random winners. He recently recorded an episode of Pimp My Ride with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on an Earth Day special to promote the importance of global warming. Justin Russo site administrator of Xzibit's Official Fan site http://www.xzibitcentral.com tells us ''It's been 3 years since the last worldwide tour so the fans will certainly be excited to see Xzibit back performing live on stage again!
