The lyrics in the opening of Rob Basesa国际传媒檚 It Takes Two, will undoubtedly be shouted out at high decibels when the I Love the 90sa国际传媒檚 Tour lands in the South Okanagan Events Centre on Sept. 16.

The song, which listed as one of the 50 greatest hip hop songs ever, is just as catchy as it was when it was released on his debut album that went multi-platinum with then partner DJ E-Z Rock in 1988. The long-standing popularity of the song is something that Base himself has noticed in the massive tour which included over 110 shows across North America in 2016 and an additional 40 shows this year with stops in Australia and New Zealand.
