This year is shaping up to be one of high visibility for The Kid Laroi. While his debut studio album, The First Time, arrived last November, Laroi jumpstarted 2024 by dropping his “Heaven” single, announcing a European tour, and starring in the Amazon Prime Video documentary Kids Are Growing Up.

The trend continued this morning, March 25. The Kid Laroi announced North American dates for The First Time Tour, and the Australian phenom tapped Glaive and Chase Shakur as openers. The newly announced 31-show leg will begin on May 18 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, stretching through May and June before wrapping on July 10 in Omaha, Nebraska. First, Laroi will stage his previously announced European/UK leg from April 4 to April 27, with Sam Tompkins as the opener.

According to a press release, a Citi presale will be held for Citi cardmembers beginning on Tuesday, March 26, at 10 a.m. local time. A few other ticket presales will be held leading up to the general public sale on Friday, March 29, at 10 a.m. local time.

With so much music coming out every day from artists all over the world, some names get moved to the wayside. Unfortunately, Chase Shakur is someone who we have not been able to cover. But, we are so happy that we are able to talk about his newest album, it’s not you, it’s me… it’s love. Actually, this is a deluxe version of his sophomore project, it’s not you, it’s me. That was released on June 16, 2023, whereas this expanded edition hit streaming platforms on September 1.

The original version was 10 tracks and an easy, breezy, 27 minutes long. This new rendition includes the same songs in the same order, but adds three more after “sink or swim (bonus).” Shakur is from the rich music city of Atlanta and is just 22 years of age. According to his Spotify profile, once he noticed his talent for making music, he decided to drop out of school. Unfortunately, his parents were very hard on him and they did not allow him to live at home.
