The lengthy 2023 trek will kick off on March 29 at Echoplex in Los Angeles and will take in a further 45 dates including stops in Houston, New Orleans, Tampa, Atlanta, New York, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Seattle and Sacramento, where the tour will conclude on May 20.

Onyx’s upcoming tour will likely be the last for co-founder Fredro Starr who recently announced that he would be hanging up his mic and retiring from rap after this year .
Appearing on an episode of The Dr. Greenthumb Show earlier this month, the Onyx co-founder commented on Westside Gunn’s retirement announcement before explaining that the time has come for him to exit the game also.
“You supposed to say: ‘I’m gonna retire.’ You gotta make the comeback. Michael Jordan did it. Guess what? I’m retiring too this year. After this year, I’m done. All jokes in side pocket” Fredro said.
He added: “I’m retiring man. Thirty years of Hip Hop. This is the last year. I’m retiring. Don’t call me for no verses, nothing. I might do a show here and there.”

Onyx Talks 30 Years of 'Slam': '1993 Was Definitely the Best Year for Hip-Hop'
By Kyle Eustice
Published Thu, April 6, 2023 at 7:00 AM EDT
Fredro Starr, Sticky Fingaz, Big DS and Sonny Seeza — collectively known as Onyx — exploded on the scene with the raucous anthem “Slam” in May 1993 following Fredro’s chance encounter with Jam Master Jay just a few years prior. Stuck in a traffic jam at The Jones Beach GreekFest Festival at the time, Fredro called out to the Run-DMC legend who agreed to give him two months to turn in a demo. He enthusiastically agreed and the group delivered "Stik 'N' Muve" and “Exercise,” which was enough to land a record deal with JMJ Records.
“Slam,” released by JMJ Records and Rush Associated Labels, would serve as the second single from the duo’s debut album, Bacdafucup . Over the last 30 years, the song has appeared in dozens of movies, commercials, TV shows, sports arenas and video games. It’s been sampled by more than 32 different artists, including Eminem , GZA , Ty Dolla $ign and EPMD’s Parish “PMD” Smith , lending the track decades of longevity.
On March 29, Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz launched a 45-date tour in honor of the 30th anniversary of Bacdafucup with special guests R.A. The Rugged Man and DJ LALA in tow. Ahead of the excursion, which continues through the end of May, the duo looked back on the making of the album, their time at Def Jam Recordings, and some of the pain they endured along the way.

Rock The Bells: Here we are. Thirty years later. How does it feel?
Fredro Starr : When you look back at it it’s like, “Where did all the years go?” You just have bits and flashbacks of what went on in 30 years. But to tell you the truth, it just feels like it just was like overnight.
Sticky Fingaz : Right. We just wanted to have fun. Time flew.
Hopefully, you had a little bit of fun at some point.
Fredro Starr: Yeah, it was fun. All the struggles, all the triumphs, the victories—everything was just part of the whole embodiment of just being in the game for 30 years. Like I said, Jam Master Jay ain’t here no more, Big DS ain’t here no more, [producer] Chyskillz ain’t here no more…so it’s just good to still be recognized in Hip-Hop.
How was it to be forced to move forward without them?
Fredro Starr: Before every live show, we always show respect to Jam Master Jay, Big DS and Chyskillz—religiously. They’re not here physically but spiritually, they always with us. It's just you have to keep going. They're not forgotten.
They finally made some arrests in the murder of Jam Master Jay. What was your initial reaction?
Fredro Starr: I don't think I felt anything, really. Hopefully, they got the right people. At the end of the day, that's not going to bring Jam Master Jay back. The trial, who did it— it really, really doesn't bring Jay back.
Sticky Fingaz : That’s it right there. Still, we celebrate his life.
I spoke to DMC a few days ago and you can still hear the pain in his voice from losing him.
Fredro Starr : Jay was the architect of Hip-Hop. He was the godfather of Run-DMC, and definitely the godfather of Onyx. The things he did for our career—because Run-DMC at the time, these guys are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So to be down with these guys and in the presence of these guys on our first album 30 years ago, it was just crazy.

DROP YOUR EMAIL
To stay in the know.
What’s the origin story?
Fredro Starr : We met Jam Master Jay around when Soul II Soul came out. That was the soundtrack playing in the background. So whatever year that was. Because we knew Jay for two years before we even got signed. We met J at a traffic jam at a Greek Fest in New York. It was all a beach and we have Jay in traffic. You know how they say, “I’ll see you in traffic?” Well, we saw him in traffic.
And you knew who he was because Run-DMC came out in 1983.
Fredro Starr : Right. It was like, “Oh shit, there’s Jam Master Jay.” And he was kind enough to let us into his tricked-out van on the highway. We got to smoke some weed with Jay and that was the gate. You know how people say weed is a gateway drug? It was a gateway to meet Jam Master Jay. We just all developed a friendship before he even had a label. It was just like, he just saw something in these kids from Queens, these little dudes who rapped. We got his phone number and we called him enough times not to get blocked.
You have to tell me a little bit about this tricked-out van [laughs].
Fredro Starr : Back in the day—and peace to his brother Marvin ‘cause Marvin was the driver—Jay had dreadlocks. I think they had a record called “Pause” at the time and Jay and Run-DMC were going through their De La Soul phase. That was hot.
Sticky Fingaz : The D.A.I.S.Y. Age .
Fredro Starr : The van was black. You go in there and there was TVs and it’s just loud. I mean, it was so fucking loud. He’s just rumbling, one of those types of things.
You start working with him on Bacdafucup . What was it about your musical chemistry that clicked?
Fredro Starr : Sticky wasn’t in the group yet. He was like the guy on the bench at the basketball game who scores 50 points in his first game. Like, “He’s gotta start!” It was kind of the same thing. Jay recognized his talent and put him in the group. That's when it clicked. He was the missing piece. It was then four of us in the group.
Didn’t he say something to the effect of if Sticky isn’t in the group, there is no group?
Fredro Starr : That was the move.
Fredro Starr : There was definitely a relationship with Def Jam. We were signed with JMJ Records and Jay took us to Def Jam, like he had a little office.
Sticky Fingaz : We signed with Jay, but Jay was signed to Def Jam. [Editor’s Note: JMJ Records was one of the Rush Associated Labels, a subgroup of Def Jam. Jay as a solo artist was never signed to Def Jam.]
Fredro Starr : It was baby steps. When we first came in a building, we was looking at the walls and seeing Public Enemy and LL COOL J posters on the wall. And you’re like, “OK, we’re inside.” This is before they got corporate.
When people were smoking blunts all day [laughs].
Fredro Starr: One of the first people we met was Flavor Flav. He was one of the first artists from Def Jam that we met when we went up there. He’s like, “Oh, you are the Onyx guys everybody's talking about.” I guess we was buzzing by that time.
You said “Slam” was influenced by Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” What about the Anthrax and Public Enemy collaboration? Did that have any influence on you guys when it came out in ’91?
Fredro Starr : Not that Public Enemy record in particular, but “My Uzi Weighs A Ton,” that’s my shit. We were looking at these records on TV and we were feeling it. We were fans. We was down with the shit. We had our Black fists up in the air. More than just that record, just the whole Public Enemy, fight for your rights, stand-up, powerful air went into Onyx.
You put a lot of aggression into your music. It’s strong and powerful. Where did this energy come from?
Sticky Fingaz : From the USG, the United States ghetto.
That’s official, huh?
Fredro Starr : It was official. Like I said, Jay was doing the D.A.I.S.Y. Age thing, the Native Tongues . We went through that era too. We didn’t always rap with so much aggression, going so hard. What happened was there was one particular song produced by this guy named Fat Steve. We came with, “Move back motherfuckers, the Onyx is here.” That line was the catalyst for our entire vision.
Sticky Fingaz : Right.
Fredro Starr : That stuck with everything. That was the birth of the grimy style. We altered our voices, we characterized everything.
So in addition to kind of birthing this grimy style of rap, what would you say is your biggest contribution to Hip-Hop?
Fredro Starr : Onyx brought “Slam” to Hip-Hop. “Slam” is one of the biggest records and still is. When we first did “Slam,” it was just to get people to let their energy out and have a good time on the dance floor. We brought that to the game. Of course, there were the Beastie Boys , Public Enemy and Run-DMC who integrated rock and roll and Hip-Hop culture, but as far as “Slam” the record and slam dancing, we brought that. Now you have Travis Scotts, Lil Uzi Vert and A$AP Mob with that culture. We were a big part of that, and it’s still happening now.
I’d never seen that until I went to a Beastie Boys, L7 and House of Pain show in the 1990s. Of course, you had Run-DMC who did the Aerosmith collaboration “Walk This Way,” but this was something different.
Fredro Starr : And we definitely brought that to Hip-Hop. That culture is good because you get to let out energy. You can leave it on the dance floor and have a good time.
Sticky Fingaz : All that tension.
Life can get a little bit more complicated as you get older. How do you take out that kind of aggression nowadays as men in your 50s?
Sticky Fingaz : It’s not just about you anymore. You got a wife, you got kids. You gotta be strong for other people.
Fredro Starr : The good thing about our live shows is that we still have young people that come in and it's crazy. The majority of Onyx shows, the kids are still like 18, 19 and 20 years old. And that kind of keeps us young. So as far as performing and stuff, you grow and you experience life. Your kids can carry on your legacy the same way I see Jam Master Jay kids carry on his legacy. It’s a good thing we can leave something behind, something they can hold on to.
Do you think Hip-Hop is in a good place?
Fredro Starr : Hip-Hop is in a good place because I know what I want to listen to. I don’t cater to what’s popular. I know what I like.
Sticky Fingaz : I think it’s in a great place. Kids are making more money. They want to become more global. It’s definitely not in a bad place, that’s for sure. And Onyx is still here, so it’s in a great place.
As you said earlier, the ‘90s were a special time. You could look at the Billboard chart and see Onyx or Public Enemy or A Tribe Called Quest, whatever. The quality, to me, is suffering—at least in terms of mainstream acts.
Sticky Fingaz : 1993 was definitely the best year for Hip-Hop. But there’s still groups.
You have to mine for it now.
Fredro Starr : Like DJ Premier, he’s so crazy. Throughout his entire career, I’ve never seen him play trap music. He’s just played Hip-Hop. There’s still guys who are carrying on the boom bap culture. You just got to know where to find it. Hip-Hop is in a great place. Because now we have so many different subcultures in Hip-Hop.
Well “Slam” was a radio hit . I love how you wrote it in seven days and it was the very last song you did on the album. How would your life be different had you not written it?
Fredro Starr : It would be very different for me. Everything’s timing. You know how they say timing is everything? If we wasn't home watching that Nirvana video at the time, who knows? We just got another huge placement for “Slam.” When we made “Slam,” we didn’t think it would hit with basketball or hit for this long, for that matter. But here we are.

Onyx are one of the most intimidating hip-hop acts I’ve come across. Every other word that they say is a curse word, so I’ll just say nice things in this review.
Seriously though, this band are fantastic at what they do having been together for over a quarter of a century now, with their material charting in the U.S.A, their highest chart position being number 10 in the US charts, which is of course an amazing achievement. It is fair to say that they dominate the hip-hop charts and are hailed as hip-hop veterans of the music world. “Bacdafucup” is one of the biggest songs of the set too. I don’t know where they draw the energy from, managing to maintain their energy for the whole set, almost shouting every word throughout. Fair play! This is such a new and memorable experience, with every single person in the audience lapping up what they’re about. Great times.

![onyx band tour Onyx 1993](https://www.rapreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Onyx-1993.jpg)
Onyx :: 1993
Hip-hop is absolutely besotted with its past, to the point where there isn’t so much a generational divide but a generational chasm. A group as relentlessly vicious as Onyx climbing the charts with their anthem “Slam” (peaking at #4 on Billboard) only highlights how different the 1990s were. Violence and chaos remain the order of the day thirty years later, and the album “1993” revels in its look back at a time where hip-hop was reaching its apex as far as classic albums were concerned. In 2022, you’ll be lucky to find a handful of memorable records, let alone a classic, but 1993 was more stacked than a card game with Dolly Parton. If anyone’s entitled to bask in a period of time pre-social media, pre-streaming and even pre-internet, it’s a group that had a generation shaving their heads. Along with the Wu-Tang Clan, the arrival of Onyx was an important shift in hip-hop, ushering in the grimy, moodier period that saw New York dominate the remainder of the decade. 1993 was our first glimpses of Mobb Deep and M.O.P. too, but they took a couple of years to reach their potential – Onyx were the finished article out the gate, perhaps in part due to their mentorship of Jam Master Jay. Onyx even had a bit of Run-DMC about them with their anthemic warcries and impassioned deliveries, it felt like music that would flourish in a live environment.
Given Onyx continue to tour thirty years into their career only confirms they are the real deal. They are still releasing music that sounds unique, mainly because nobody could meet, let alone exceed, the sheer intensity of an Onyx performance. Last year’s “ Onyx 4 Life ” had its moments, namely the singles that showcased their ability to still create an earworm of a hook. And Sticky Fingaz is always worth the price of admission.
“Fight Da Power” riffs on Public Enemy’s 1988 classic with the fellas’ own brand of humor giving it a slight twist, however, it’s over before it gets going. This is something that is common throughout – tracks being two minutes long but that is probably why I keep coming back. The obsession with a third verse in the 1990s worked when Onyx had three (or four) members, but with just Fredro and Sticky, it makes sense to go one apiece.
They revisit their own work too. When the beat drops on “Heads Up” it’s Elbow Central and while there’s an element of primitive design to songs like this, it bathes in its own influences without soaking in it. Songs like this work on their own as remixes of classics and there’s enough new here to justify its existence. I keep forgetting just how well the Onyx aesthetic has aged: it’s why their first three albums all hold up today.
The duo revisit “Slam” on “Just Slam” with a lovely bit of trumpet making it a jazzier affair. It’s the drums that do it for me though, you just don’t hear beats like this any more! The acknowledgement of Britney Spears and Amber Rose shaving their heads because of Onyx is typical of the darkly comic lyrics that set Sticky Fingaz apart. I appreciated “United We Slam”, a reference to the obscure Timbo King record from 1993 – the first Wu-Tang Clan affiliate project in a way. But it’s also an interpolation of A Tribe Called Quest’s “Scenario” – a 1991 song. So I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the 1993 criteria outside of this is what was being played in 1993. It’s a mood piece if you want to hear someone in a bad mood.
MC Lyte’s “Ruffneck”, itself a dedication to masculinity, is referenced on “Ruff and Rugged” and revisited outright on “RuffNeck”. Hearing Fredro boast that he doesn’t do TikTok because he’s busy making hip-hop that gets people shot is tongue-in-cheek, but not entirely untrue. This is music to pump iron to or energize a sports team. Ain’t nobody dancing to this outside of slamming a neck and punching a wall.
Where the album “1993” may be a bit chaotic in its structure, it’s a surprisingly strong listening experience. It never dwells on things being better back in the day, instead simply putting an Onyx spin on older tracks. The kicks and snares all slap harder than E. Honda in Street Fighter II, and when you consider this was all recorded in one day , I take my hat off to Fredro and Sticky – if only to show my bald head in appreciation.
