An icon in the rap world for over a decade, Chief Keef draws a crowd wherever he goes. Today, the 29-year-old artist announces rescheduled dates for A Lil Tour, his upcoming nationwide headlining tour.
Produced by Live Nation, A Lil Tour criss-crosses the U.S. for 14 dates, starting in San Francisco on October 30th (The Midway), before making stops in Los Angeles on November 2nd (Hollywood Palladium), Atlanta on November 13th (Coca Cola Roxy), Philadelphia on November 19th (The Fillmore), Brooklyn on November 23rd (Brooklyn Paramount), and more. 43B signee Lil Gnar and The Glo Boyz will join Sosa on tour as support for all dates.
TICKETS: General on sale begins Friday, September 6 at 10 a.m. local time on ChiefKeef.com. Tickets for the previously scheduled tour will be honoured on the new dates.
“There is still nothing that feels like ‘Love Sosa,’ the breakout single from a then 17-year-old Chief Keef, from his debut album, Finally Rich. The Chicago rapper’s melodic, hard-nosed anthem shook the foundation of hip-hop. The kids were taking control in a way that the genre had never seen.” – Rolling Stone
A Lil Tour arrives a few months after Sosa’s acclaimed album, Almighty So 2 – released May 10th via 43B. Crafted over a period of two years, Almighty So 2 is produced by Sosa himself. The young auteur mostly eschews melody on the new album–instead, he resolves to showcase his prodigious abilities as an emcee, sharpening his pen and emptying out his arsenal of flows. Featuring appearances from Sexyy Red, Quavo, G Herbo, Tierra Whack, his 43B signee Lil Gnar, and his Glo Gang associate Ballout, Almighty So 2 earned Best New Music honours from Pitchfork (8.4), along with glowing praise and Album of the Year support from Rolling Stone, The FADER, Associated Press, Vulture, and many more. It also made its debut on the Billboard charts at number three Independent Albums, number nine Top Rap Albums, number 10 Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, number 26 Top Streaming Albums, and number 30 on the Billboard 200.
Previously, Sosa connected with superproducer Mike WiLL Made-It for their collaborative mixtape, DIRTY NACHOS, a Trap-A-Holics-hosted throwback to the heyday of the mixtape era. Earlier in the year, Sosa collaborated with Sexyy Red on two singles from her Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe)–”Ghetto Princess,” and “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Mama),” and teamed up with Lil Yachty for “Say Ya Grace,” a highlight from All Is Yellow, the first album by Lyrical Lemonade. The song’s Cole Bennett-directed video went viral: the song reached the top 5 of YouTube’s Trending chart, and racked up over three million views in its first week of release. In June, Chief Keef made his long awaited return to Chicago on June 16th, performing his first show in his hometown since 2012, at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash.
Stay tuned for much more from Sosa as the year goes on.
