Prince, the Great Purple One, is hitting the road with our local girl Janelle Monae. (She's from Quindaro originally. Insider tip: Look for a more in-depth story about Monae in this week's Pitch.) He's also bringing along Mint Condition. This is what he said about the upcoming tour at the Apollo Ballroom in New York yesterday:

"If you've been to one of my shows, then you know what time it is," he told a press conference at New York's Apollo Theatre yesterday (October 14). "You need to come early and come often because every time we play it's always something new. I got a lot of hits. Bring friends, bring children, and bring foot spray because it's going to be funky."

Prince hasn't hinted at whether or not the show will be a tour, or a New York residency.  Here's Monae, doing a cover of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" at the BET Awards Ceremony 2010.
