Naughty By Nature Added to PickAxe Summerfest Lineup
Bowling Green, Kentucky --- PickAxe is pleased to announce yet another anomaly with the appearance of Naughty by Nature to join the 2016 PickAxe Summerfest at Bowling Green Ballpark on Saturday, June 18.
Naughty By Nature has a twenty-year track record of creating the hits and party anthems that have become the soundtrack to our lives. The music of the Grammy Award winning, Platinum-album selling, New Jersey super-group has smashed through mainstream barriers all while remaining true to the sound. Now, these three kings of the Hip-Hop anthem have formally claimed their titles with the 20th Anniversary album, Anthem Inc.
Naughty by Nature's self-titled debut album was released in 1991 and quickly assaulted the music charts with the instant classic #1 hit "O.P.P." and "Hip Hop Hooray." The group quickly became crossover stars, while maintaining their east coast, hip-hop sensibility. To date, their success and longevity as a Hip-Hop group has been unparalleled. The trio went on to produce their follow-up albums that have become part of America's Hip- Hop legacy: 19 Naughty III (1993), Poverty's Paradise (1995) and Nature's Fury (1999).
After years of steady touring and itching to get back in the studio, both Treach and Vin agreed, that in order for the next album to have that authentic sound and feel of Naughty by Nature, they must reunite with DJ Kay Gee. At this same time, VH1 bestowed their coveted "Hip-Hop Honor" to the group as innovators of our culture. Joining the ranks of Big Daddy Kane, Rakim and Eazy E., the group received their "HipHop Honors" in October of 2008.
Fast forward to June 18th, 2016 and they will be joining the PickAxe Summerfest lineup that features Kesha and special guests Alien Ant Farm, Twang and Round, and Christina Chriss. Capping off an extraordinary line up, Naughty By Nature will be at PickAxe Summerfest for their 25th anniversary tour, playing all the hits and some!
