urban sound to
troops stationed in Kosovo, Bosnia and
the United Kingdom.
July 15-Aug. 5 as they embark on their
first Armed Forces Entertainment tour. "We
are excited about bringing Bad Boy Bad
Girl on tour for our overseas troops, because
we think they could be the next big thing
in the hip hop world," said Capt.
Aubrey Semrau with the Air Force, who is
circuit manager for the European region
for Armed Forces Entertainment. "In
addition, Carla will bring to our troops
her special blend of upbeat, fun music
and a great stage performance."
Bad Boy Bad Girl duo, Ali-Starr and
Sillawet, have opened for numerous
popular rap
groups, including Naughty by Nature,
Ruff Ryders,
Black Moon, Rakim and The Roots.
Their
lyrics about the struggles, joys
and pain of life in their South Jersey
'hood, fueled
by their dreams of success, make
Bad
Boy Bad Girl a group many can connect
with.
Their single, "Need 2 Know," has
been a Number 1 single in DJ Record
Pools throughout the U.S. and Canada".
"It is truly a blessing for us to have
this opportunity to perform for our
troops overseas.
We want to be able to give them a
taste of something they've been missing
while
they are far away from home," said
Sillawet.
In
addition, pop/R&B artist Carla
will open for Bad Boy Bad Girl. Her single "If
You Want My Love," has been climbing
the R&B charts. "We're going to
give our servicemen and women a high-energy
show filled with attitude that they won't
soon forget. We apply the same attitude
onstage that they apply to the job they
do for our country," said Carla.
