Earlier this year, ScHoolboy Q released his first new album in 5 years. He led off what’s expected to be a massive 2024 for his label Top Dawg Entertainment with the critically acclaimed Blue Lips. The album featured guest spots from Freddie Gibbs, Rico Nasty, Ab-Soul, and more. It almost had an even more stacked cast but a planned collaboration with A$AP Rocky fell through. Now fans of the record will get a chance to see him perform the songs live for the first time this summer.
ScHoolboy Q announced a new tour, but it isn’t quite like the kind of tours most artists go on. Instead of playing a tightly packed series of shows in quick succession, he’s going on a “weekends” tour. He’s playing either two or three shows across a weekend for five straight weekends in July and August. The 11-show tour will hit numerous American cities as well as Toronto. Check out the full list of dates and locations below. Also check out the announcement Q shared to Twitter revealing the tour to fans.
Earlier this month, ScHoolboy Q was drumming up hype for another new album that’s hopefully dropping in 2024. He tweeted about getting a sneak preview of Vince Staples new record and had high praise for the record. Specifically, he said he couldn’t wait to hear the album again though it’s unclear at the moment when fans may get the chance to hear it themselves.
ScHoolboy Q also stopped by for a special new episode of Kenny Beats’ “The Cave” series. He delivered a verse that had fans stunned as the most recent in a line of major MCs to step into the studio. What do you think of ScHoolboy Q’s tour approach to only playing shows on the weekend? Do you think you’ll be attending any of the stops on his upcoming Blue Lips weekends tour? Let us know in the comment section below.
Pitbull and T-Pain dominated the 2000s. It was tough to go more than a few minutes on the radio without hearing their voices on hits like “Hotel Room Service” and “Buy U A Drank.” Both artists symbolize good times in a club setting, whether they were the main artist or the feature, so it makes perfect sense that they’d join forces for the upcoming “Party After Dark Tour.” The North American tour will kick off August 21 in Virginia, and culminate October 5 in New Mexico.
Pitbull and T-Pain hyped up the tour on their respective social media accounts. “Get ready! I’m heading your way for the #PartyAfterDarkTour w/ special guest @TPAIN,” the former wrote on Instagram. “Tix on sale Friday at 10am. Daleeee.” T-Pain, meanwhile, tweeted: “HEY BABY GIRL WHATCHU DOING THIS FALL??? I’m going back on the road with my brother @pitbull.” If the sight of these two aughts icons wasn’t enough to delight fans, specific dates on the tour will also feature appearances from Lil Jon. These specific dates include stops in Washington and California.
Pitbull and T-Pain have a brief but impressive track record. They scored a massive hit out the gate with 2011’s “Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor),” which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. They followed it up with “Shake Senora,” then took a decade break before reuniting for “Lit In the City” last year. Both artists have continued to tour, but Pitbull did stir up controversy during a 2021 show in which he attacked critics of the United States. “To whoever the f**k doesn’t like the United States of America,” he said onstage. “May God bless you, but f**k you at the same time. He later said he credited his huge success to living in the U.S. and therefore felt very passionate about the country.
That was then, however. Pitbull is back to making people dance, because that’s what he enjoys the most at the end of the day. He reflected on his “party rapper” status during an interview with the San Diego Tribune. “They always looking at Pitbull like, ‘Oh, he’s just the party guy. He’s just making these club anthems’,” he noted. “[I] put these records out because I knew that people would enjoy them and it could feed their wild side.” This “wild side” is exactly what Pitbull and T-Pain will be feeding on tour.
NLE Choppa is no stranger to his fans thirsting over him. In fact, one of his biggest hits “SLUT ME OUT” recently got a single that is essentially all about how attractive he is to his fans. “SLUT ME OUT 2” dropped earlier this month and featured hilariously raunchy bars over a hard-hitting beat. He followed it up with an equally NSFW bathtub photo shoot just a few days later. For the pictures he recreated a classic image of 2pac.
That’s why it isn’t all that surprising that fans are showing their attraction to Choppa in one of the only ways they can. Fans have been throwing bras on stage for years but it went particularly viral last year during Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour. That came from one hilarious moment when he couldn’t believe the size of a bra thrown at him on stage. Now in a new Instagram post, NLE Choppa is showing off some of the bras he’s collected on his current tour. He shared a video to Instagram laying on a floor surrounded by dozens of bras. “Nothing To See Here Just Me Collecting Bra’s For #SLUTSZN” his caption reads. Check out his hilarious new post below.
Earlier this month, NLE Choppa thanked one particular group for their embrace of the new single. In a tweet, he shouted out his LGBTQ fans for their support of him and the new single. He even took the opportunity to defend himself against some of the haters who emerged in the comments. He reserved the right to thank anyone whom he felt was showing him love. The post did cause him to have to eventually circle back around and clarify his own sexuality a few days later.
What do you think of NLE Choppa’s new video posing with all the bras that have been thrown at him on stage during his new tour? Do you like his raunchy new single “SLUT ME OUT 2?” Let us know in the comment section below.

It is quite possible that we see another woman in hip-hop rival Nicki Minaj’s latest feat of having the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper with Missy Elliott as a top contender. The iconoclast and Virginia multi-hyphenate announced her first-ever headlining tour, the 2024 OUT OF THIS WORLD tour, set for summer 2024. The upcoming 2024 tour will certainly be monumental for Missy Elliott, especially since she’s bringing along a handful of close collaborators including Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland.
Despite being one of the most influential rappers, Missy Elliott has yet to embark on a headlining tour. The upcoming OUT OF THIS WORLD tour arrives following a string of milestones, including an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (as the first female Hip-Hop artist ever to do so), a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, and becoming the recipient of the 2019 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at teh VMAs.
“This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone ‘firsts.’ Being the FIRST female Hip Hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now going out on my FIRST headline tour,” shares Elliott in a press release. “Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family! So get ready to be taken OUT OF THIS WORLD with me, Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland! We can’t wait to share this experience with the fans!”

The 24-city run blasts off on July 4 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, making stops across North America in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Brooklyn, and more, before wrapping up in Rosemont at Allstate Arena on August 22. With Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland joining Missy on tour, there’s no doubt that this will be a must-see experience for hip-hop fans both young and old.

Nicki Minaj just made history. She’s currently headlining the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper of all time, and she managed to do it in less than 20 shows. According to Touring Data, Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 tour grossed a record-setting $34.9 million within the first 17 performances. This achievement is a testament to the rapper’s catalog of hits and her ability to stay relevant a decade and a half after she arrived on the music scene.
Minaj’s longevity has been the subject of much discussion in recent years. Ja Rule praised the “Red Ruby da Sleaze” rapper during a 2023 episode of Stepping Into the Shade Room. “Minaj’s place in hip-hop is [solidified],” Ja asserted. “The female MCs they’re having a run like they’ve never had before, and to me, in my opinion, I would say Nicki re-opened that door.” Ja hasn’t been alone in this sentiment. Minaj, who dropped her debut album back in 2010, has also received props from Da Brat and GloRilla. “Staying in the game, staying strong,” the latter said during an appearance on The Heat. “I’m trying to be consistent like that.”
Minaj not only claimed the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper, but the highest-grossing concert as well. Touring Data reports that the rapper’s Madison Square Garden show on March 30, 2024, grossed a whopping $2.858 million. The success of the tour should come as no surprise to hip-hop fans, as Minaj’s recent album also set records. Pink Friday 2 netted the largest first week vinyl sales by a female rapper in history, in addition to securing Minaj’s third number-one album. Pink Friday 2 also scored Minaj’s first #1 single as a solo artist, “Super Freaky Girl.” From a records standpoint, it’s a good time to be a Barb.
The numbers are also a nice return to form after Minaj’s messy exchange with Megan Thee Stallion. The two rapper traded diss tracks early on, but Minaj’s “Bigfoot” was widely panned by fans and critics alike. Megan’s diss, on the other hand, “Hiss”, received critical acclaim and topped the Billboard Hot 100. The two will likely continue to beef with one another into the future, but it’s evident from Minaj’s historic achievements that she doesn’t need to engage with other rappers to solidify her legacy.
Missy Elliott is making history. The eccentric emcee will be embarking on her first ever headlining tour in 2024, after decades of influence and chart dominance. She initially broke the news of the “Out Of This World” tour on her Instagram, along with a heartfelt statement. “Fans have been asking me to tour forever,” she explained. “So I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big.” Missy wasn’t kidding. This upcoming tour will be an absolutely star-studded event.
The “Out Of This World” tour will feature Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland. All three artists are iconic in their own right, and have been collaborating with Missy for years. The “Supa Dupa Fly” rapper has always been loyal to those around her, and she really made a point of stressing the familial angle during the tour’s planning stages. “I had to do it with family,” she added. “So get ready to be taken OUT OF THIS WORLD with me, Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland! We can’t wait to share this experience with the fans.” Furthermore, the IG announcement came with a teaser video directed by Dave Meyers.
Fans who’ve seen Missy Elliott’s music videos over the years know that Meyers is responsible for the visuals for singles like “Get Ur Freak On” and “One Minute Man.” The teaser is classic Missy, with her and Busta Rhymes donning bizarre, futuristic clothing as they discuss the possibility that they’re on a different planet. The tickets for the “Out Of This World” will be available starting with a Verizon presale on April 9. Additional pre-sale options will made available throughout the week, and the general sale will begin Friday, April 12 on Missy-Elliott.com.
Missy could not have picked a better time to embark on her first headline tour. Firstly, she became the first female rapper to be nominated and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023, and secondly, she’s working on new music for the first time in two decades. Timbaland will produce the upcoming album, however he told Variety that it will feature Missy dabbling in experimental Latin sounds. “People gonna eat it up,” he teased. “[It’ll connect with] a different demographic of people. Some of it has a kind of Latin feel to it, almost a Bad Bunny effect.”

With nods to ATL landmarks and an emotionally charged GRAMMY speech, the video sets the stage for the upcoming tour.

Snoop Dogg is a busy man. He’s been one of the hardest working figures in hip-hop history since he arrived on the scene, and he’s going to maintain his packed schedule with an upcoming tour in Canada. Snoop announced the tour on his Instagram, which will bear the catchy title of the “Cali to Canada Tour.” To really hammer the point home, the Doggfather is wearing a maple leaf hockey jersey on the poster. Snoop’s opening acts will be fellow west coast legends DJ Quik and Warren G.
The tour will span several Canadian cities, including Toronto, Calgary, Quebec City and Montreal. This is not the first time Snoop has toured the Sunshine Province, as he went on a joint tour with Wiz Khalifa in summer 2023. What makes the “Cali to Canada Tour” different, however, is the emphasis on cities in the rural Prairie province. There will be 11 dates in total, starting with Halifax on June 3 and ending with Vancouver on June 25.
It’s a great time to book tickets to a Snoop show. The rapper is experiencing a career renaissance between the 30th anniversary of his album Doggystyle and the anticipation for his upcoming album with Dr. Dre, Missionary. Snoop and Dre are selling Missionary as a spiritual sequel to Doggystyle, as evidenced by its personnel and suggestive album title. Snoop talked about the recording process for Missionary during an appearance on All the Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. He praised Dre for challenging him as a rapper, and bringing out the “grown” side of his songwriting.
Tickets for the “Cali to Canada Tour” go on sale at 10 am on Friday, April 5th. The presale for the tickets kicks off on Thursday, April 4th, with additional pre-sale options throughout the week. Snoop also gave fans a code (“CALI2CANADA”) that will expedite the ticket buying process on sites like Ticketmaster. If you don’t get to see Snoop in Canada, the rapper will also be performing at the Lovers & Friends festival. The festival will be held in Las Vegas on May 4, and tickets are currently available.
Earlier this month, Megan Thee Stallion announced her upcoming “Hot Girl Summer” tour, which kicks off in May. Joining her on the 31-date run will be none other than GloRilla. They’re scheduled to hit major cities like NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, LA, and more. Needless to say, fans can’t wait to see the performers live. It looks like at least one of the femcees has some training to do before she sets off on tour, however.
Today, GloRilla took to Instagram to share a clip of herself hitting the gym. In the clip, she’s seen doing some squats with a pair of shades and even a few chains on. “Getting ready for da Hot girl summer tour like @theestallion what we doing ???????,” she captioned her post. In a follow-up comment, she clarified that she is truly hard at work getting in shape for tour, and wasn’t just playing along for the fun video. “I honestly do workout everyday y’all like no playing sh*t,” she wrote.
Her “Hot Girl Summer” tour with Meg is far from the only thing GloRilla has to look forward to these days, however. Earlier this week, she also announced that she has a new mixtape on the way, EhhThang EhhThang. The project is slated for release on April 5, 2024. She even stopped by the White House recently for a Women’s History Month reception. She shared a series of fun photos and videos from the event on Instagram afterward, posing with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and more.
What do you think of GloRilla revealing that she’s been hitting the gym daily in preparation for her upcoming tour with Megan Thee Stallion? Are you looking forward to seeing the two femcees live on tour? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
